SAAFL Div 2 2008

[Footy Chick]

Anyone got any news on a young kid from Modbury by the name of Ronald Rankine? Played about 10 games last year on the wing and in the middle. Apparently kicked 5 against Kilburn from the wing.

No offence but I could have kicked 5 from the wing against Kilburn last year...

Maybe you should have played in our first encounter for the year FC. Payneham wouldhave then only lost by 3 goals.

If its the same Ronald Rankine I know of, I can tell you he had loads of talent in Junior footy but a miassively loose cannon. I think he played footy just for an excuse to fight. The coaches could never pull him in line, no matter what they said to him!

Wasted talent he was!

the response from Andy was cool, unemotional but on the money. That said, only someone who hasn't played the game would leave themselves open as FC did. Out of interest Falcon Chick, are you still involved at Payneham or is it true you're a casualty of the blood letting on the board instigated by G.Macca, S.Direen and S.Darrington. Just a question, no inuendo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Biggest sniper to play the game. Likes to hit people behind the play when there not looking at him. Probably cost seaton a weeks rest before the grand final last year after a cowardly behind the play incident. Hid like a little girl when he travelled down to Ramblers in the prelim final.

Have to agree with you their Newman. I remember the next game Modbury faced Seaton & Rankine wouldn't go near the footy as he was sh!t scared, he played so wide that day, he was on west lakes boulavard.
I think his car was parked there aswell for a speedy exit.

No much action going on in here... Any one got much info?

Travis White = $450, his mates will command close to that however there apparently there is a bigger signing in the wings and also spotted at trainging a giant to bolster the big man stocks - any raggies men here can add the name? Malcolm Grossman has returned home and will be a Raggie in 08, looking to slow down his pre-season a tad to avoid repeat injury.
Rankine from Modbury on the move.

Malcolm Grossman.
Isnt he that little twerp that couldnt get near the footy in the GF. From all reports i have been getting he is an ordinary div 3 player so how is he going to cope in div 2. You keep mentioning all these players but they are ordinary players and div 3 standard or hardly that. Your club is stepping up into a very good div 2 competition. These so called hills recruits better be bloody good players cause you lost the GF and the Second Semi convincingly to smosh and from speaking to a few guys involved at that club they are expecting a pretty tough year. And so they should.

i havnt seen mal groosman play for a few years but i remember him being a handy footballer you couldnt really judge a guy by how he went in 1 game could you ?

Very ordinary player in div 3 my arse AW.
Grossman is a good in & under player that dominated div3.
I'd back him up in div2 any day.
You must have a chip on your shoulder!

grossy came 4th in the div 1 medal a few years ago makes him a little better than those who criticise him i would have thought.will once again be a very good player for the raggies whatever the grade they play in.

Well the Hills boys are quite good particularly Ross Wait and Travis White. White is an absolute gun and would have been one of the most damaging players in the Hills last year. Wait and Ben Gordon are also both very good footballers with a bit of reserves experience as well. Think Gordon played or was close to playing league at a very young age.

- here we go again, rubbishing players based on what you have heard or the one game you saw of him.
I reckon grossy has a few fans on this site in the way he plays his football, & you cant question the blokes toughness, heart & ability to find the ball.
A bloke his size regardless in Div 2 or 3 will dominate at that level.

His not injury prone with soft tissue injuries, he rolled his ankle acouple of times last year which restricted his performance in most games. I would have a half fit grossy in my side any day of the week cause you know he will give it his all.

I havnt seen the boys train yet this year but i did hear on friday night that grossy is back from perth & is looking as fit as his ever been.

Let me clear this up - travis white is not on $450 agame

[S Demon]

Hate to break it to ya cruzn9, but T White IS getting $450 a game so you haven't really cleared anything up for us...

I can only go by what i have heard, I was told something totally different.

Fair enough. I can't really say how i know, but let's just say i've got it on good authority
