Has he been playing anywhere?

[GWW]

i heard a very high amount kappars but could be just the rumour mill ticking along. I dont think you would call the Saints big recruiters GWW, we have only signed 3 new guys.

Thats fair enough mate, i basically meant there had been been more news out of the Saints re recruits than a lot of other clubs.

[GWW]

Has he been playing anywhere?

Ormond-Allen was on fairly big coin at a Hills club in 2006 i think, was ridiculed quite a bit there for not being up to standard given that hes played AFL. Last year i think he played Amateurs, may have been an assistant coach as well, think it was div 3 or 4 or something like that.

Trent played a few games at SMOSH in 2007 (D3). Injuries restricted his appearances.

[words of wisdom]

Word is that the Mudlarks have filled there allocated points with 3 signing from the southern league

Any names WoW?

No names Grape Ape. Apparently they signed a CHB, Midfielder and a Ruckman. Micky Conlan predicted they would come from flaggies!

[LuvsFooty]

Didnt think Myponga would need another ruckman. I know that Laffin is playing again so it will be very handy if he has a partner in crime!

[Micky Conlan]

Gday fellas missing you all,Big Micky's been on holidays with the wife and kids took them all to Coober Pedy great place to unwind.Benny Wozza Warren staying at panther land great news for the mighty saints we might have a team belows now.
Trent bring the fat arse club into the gsfl is he?he wasnt that great in his prime.Actually he wouldnt even be worth 20 indian rupees sorry Trent but fact is fact. GO KEVIN 07!!!!

[s m skinner]

No other news micky , EB had their AGM other night didnt hear how it went but was told that the coach wanted the admin to vote against the points system , must be worried about all the players they have lost and arent going to be able to replace them .

[FootyMad]

The coach has been against the point system since it was first mentioned in 07 season.

Ormand-allen stated he wouldnt play for less than $300 a game so thats the starting point the Creeks had to work with.

I'd say they could spend their $300 on someone better.

Is Heuskes playing in 08?

[NO-MERCY]

If what i heard is true LF it more than you coulb expect to be paid in a monday to friday 9-5 job at $16.50 an hour for the period of one year.
Saints sound like they have spoken to a fair few players LF and three sighned any more still waiting to finalise something?
Creeks latest recruit is T.Ormanaland

They'd wanna recruit better than that(Trent Ormond-allan) he wouldn't get 5 games in for the year,his hamstrings are shot.
$300 a game,you have 2 be kidding!

[LuvsFooty]

He cant be completely hopeless, I saw him ruck against and beat spider everitt one day!

I'd be going more by his form in the Hills a couple of years ago when apparently he could barely get a kick.

[LuvsFooty]

I heard he was no good but surely you cant under estimate a guy with AFL experience

[GWW]

Clubs would probably be better going for a 24 year old SANFL Reserves standard player than a 30 year old whos played AFL but is now not up to scratch and living on their reputation alone.

Absolutely! Especially with the points system. If you recruit the right sort of bloke you might get 8 years of quality footy out of a 24 year old. That's how you build premiership winning depth. Look at Jervois. No 'big' names but alot of SANFL reserves experience and all recruited under 25. I can't see Ormand-Alan lasting more that a season (if he even get's a game in the A's) and then they'll just have to replace him.

[BJ Ernest]

Exactly right there Grape Ape Grape Ape.

Is there some merit to the thought that if you have an ex 'AFL' player that it would be easier to recruit other players?

The idea of recruiting an over 30 for coin doesnt sit well with me and we certainly wouldnt actively seek out a player over 30. He is basically going to give you 1-2 years of footy and stunt the growth of one of your juniors that this points system is trying to encourage!

[words of wisdom]

The panic button may have been hit at the creeks? Early days but there are alot of players apparently leaving. Dellatore has been invited to train at sturt to add to the list

[BJ Ernest]

Bout time a league club actively pursued Toddy D. Can definitely play, quality half back, hes a powerful running penetrating kick that rarely misses a target.

Who else is leaving Langhorne Creek? Surely the boys arent leaving it on that note?

[Panther32]

BJ, there's no certainty that they will win it next year, so how many times can you be emotionally crushed like that!!! They would need to bring in a Team Psychiatrist to mentally get them in the right frame of mind!
