That is definite crap.
That's just people looking to lay the blame for something they don't like but which was in train well before Hamley collapsed.

I think they cite it as an example of what can happen but it was not the reason for the cap being developed.

Despite the obvious poor results on the field, it seems that the spirits are pretty high out at the Bridge, they seem to be a tight knit group who don't beat themselves up about their current position.
They've done well to field 2 teams every week, hats off to those who have stuck around and done the hard yards.

That's what I heard, they did cite it as a reason for the cap. Still not sure if the current people at Hamley would be that wrapped with the CFL going around telling fellow leagues they are stuffed.

Significant difference between "reason for" and "example of".

Hamley's salary cap used to be a headband.
I think they've learnt from it and it would be hard to compete with clubs such as Balaklava, Mallala, Freeling, Kapunda and Riverton all within close proximity and given their population.

Congrats to Simon "Lurch" Schulz who plays his 250th tomorrow. Massive achievement from someone who has given (and still giving) so much to the club over a very long period of time. They don't make loyalty that he has shown anymore, hopefully we can upset Hummocks tomorrow and get a win for the big Lurch!

And what's he played in 9 A grade cricket flags too? Something like that anyway, top effort to play 250.

I've been told the club has cash for next year. All ready to go.
Good news.

How would everyone's report cards look on the season?

[Officejet]

According to Sportingpulse I can report Hamley kicked 6 goals on the weekend.

[GIDDY UP!]

Niklaus 125 - 72 (19,34)
Montgomery 68 - 36 (11,21)
Rose 67 - 37 (8,13,9)
McPharlin 56 - 30 (12,2,12)
Harris 46 - 20 (14,12)
Ross 44 - 24 (10,10)
Brice 43 - 25 (7,8,3)
Pym 32 - 18 (9,5,4)
Allmond 32 - 10 (9,4,9)

At the SFL meeting they used Hamley Bridge as an example of why they need to protect clubs from themselves.

LOL, what about when Farmer Jones hands Jimmy Smith an envelope as he's walking to his ute in the carpark??

Tips for the weekend:

Saturday
A - Virginia v Two Wells - This could genuinely go either way but I think Virginia by 5 goals
B - Virginia v Two Wells - Virginia easily. Could be one of the best B Grade sides ever played in our league. Virginia by 10 goals
17's - Mallala v Two Wells - Mallala in a close game by 3 goals
14's - Two Wells v Balaklava - Two Wells by a comfortable 4 goal margin

Sunday
A - Mallala v Hummocks - Mallala in a blowout to show the gap between the top 3 and the rest. Pies by 12 goals
B - Mallala v United - Would love to tip the tigers, but there will be too many quality players from Mallala playing. Mallala by 9 goals
17's Balaklava v Virginia - The Balak colts have obviously been saving themselves for this game by refusing to play A Grade. Would wanna hope it pays off. Balak by 4 points in a nail biter.
14's - United v Hamley - Battle of the small towns. The Tigers with 14 players going up to 17's next year will be too big. United by 7 goals.

Fair effort from Wells Wells to have all 4 sides playing on Saturday.
