SAAFL Div 6 2008

[S Demon]

i hear houghton have really trained the house down. the coach seems to have them having a new belief in themselves. picked up from last year. im looking forward to the 1st heccies v houghton game.....should be one tough encounter......remember houghton beat heccies last year at the hollow...a game hectorville cannot forget.........bring it on

As a coach, one of cabbage's best attributes is his stance on training. He expects the guys to all make training and he rewards the guys who put in the work. He will probobly put a few noses out of joint early but will end up with good numbers on the track as i've heard he has already. (30 plus at the snake pit would seem pretty f****ing good for Houghton!)

And let's not forget his big recruit of the year that he pinched from Hope Valley. Well, technically he pinched him from Kersbrook...

i heard last night at hope valley that the former b gr coach from heccies last year, antony basso is out there and prob will join his 20th amateur club. been renown for chasing premierships but with little or actually no sucess. seems to bring bad luck,,, prob one of the major reasons why heccies didnt make the gf last year( if you saw the prelim s last q last year , youll know what i mean) dont know where hell play. too old for A s, not good enough in an already excellent B gr so i guess 1 st ruck in the C s.....

Yeah he's been out training with us. Pretty fair assumption there GTB...

I dont know what numbers have been like in the past at Houghton but can you see anyone wanting to train there in the middle of june or july?

That should be about the time when the fog is streaming across the ground and water from the creek (assuming we actually get a bit of rain) should also be heading in that direction. lol nice and cold up there in winter.

Right on the money Stan. Im not having a go at them but how come they arent in the hills league?

Last i heard from basso is that he thinking of going out 2 the crows, he heard they need a new experience ruckman and he thinks he has a gd chance ...great character, terrible coach and past his used by date

I was told todat that CLG are hosting Lockleys on Anzac Day.

if houghton went into the hills league they would be the whipping boys. to many of there players are unfit, the guns teams would swolen them up and they have no juniors, so i dont know where they would get there influx of new youth into there system, should eb a permanent team in div 7

[hawkseye]

I meant originaly when they formed or when they came to amatuers, shouldnt they have just been in the hills. I dont disagree with alot of what you just said though.

All those in favour say I. I

"I"

Looks like it's been announced on the div 5 thread (thanks bartman) that Luke Hann will be joining his brother at Hope Valley this year. Quality bloke, quality player

[silent11]

where is he likely to play s demon?

[mypaddock]

luke is the better of the two hann boys isnt he?

[mypaddock]

heccies trials against angaston and birdwood cancelled. now will be playing kersbrook and kenilworth. should both be good hitouts for the hounds.

[zedman]

is that confirmed mypaddock (trial with kenilworth) ?
if so it maybe a late afternoon/evening trial..

[mypaddock]

yeh i think its possibly underlights at your ground (kenilworth)

[zedman]

yea its on..probably 4.00pm start..be a good trial imo

[S Demon]

I can't really say without ever seeing Luke play (apart from juniors). He's a bit bigger than Jimmy and was vice captain out at Smithfield, but the sibling rivalry will see Jimmy lift another gear no doubt so he's not out done by his big brother!

[S Demon]

S Demon21, u guys are very lucky to have luke to playing for you this season and he will add a lot to u's. We are all sad to see him go but i respect his decision to make the trip up the hill to play with his little bro.

From what I've seen of him so far I'd have to agree with you that we are very lucky to have him playing for us. Looking forward to seeing jimmy and luke hopefully having a good year. Could be 2 sets of brothers running around in the A grade this year...

The Hann's and Carrol's!

I thought I'd transfer this over to the div 6 thread before the div 5 boys tell us to get nicked!!
