He also mentioned that they would be striving to improve their list over the next few years, so i would suggest that a few of their scouts would be out and about, trying to poach other players from several leagues including our great league. Now i wouldn't expect people to be handing in clearance forms straight away, he mentioned the fact that they were quite flush with coin, im not too sure that they know how much money goes through a country club instead of an amateur club, but i think they have a rude awakening headed their way.
personally i would have thought they would have a crack at getting into the APFL as the 8th side, but noooo, big dreams it seems!!
I couldnt think of anything worse than a side from Angle Vale coming into this league. I think your all forgetting that 95% of players and supporters within this competition are from the country and enjoy the country atmosphere and lifestyle of country footy on Saturday afternoon. Angle Vale... country????? Yeah right, head the other way boys. If we need another teams the only solution is north or east, not even closer to Adelaide. Give me a break!!!! Amateur teams from the northern suburbs would be the last teams that i want to be involved with. I realise thats only my opinion but im certain im not alone. Heading south = Trouble with capital "T" and we hear of sh#t happening far too often from that neck of the woods as it is.
Country or Suburbian footy?? I know what i would rather.
