geez that ballhog chap has been a bit quiet of late

Yes BALLHOG is off work at the moment due to the arrival of a baby girl Sophie Ella. Congrats to Ballhog and his missus on their new arrival.

It will be very tame on the forum without his stirring!

Red hair TB?

[schimma]

so what is the latest on Mt Barker who is in and who is out.

[Silky skills]

That is a very optimistic prediction silky, considering Hahndorf didn't get within 15 goals of Mt Lofty last year and whilst they have picked up a couple, Cooper and kaesler are a year older whilst the majority of Lofty's team are just starting to enter their prime (22-26y), only Burchy is older than 28 and he is made of titanium and has a life expectancy of 4000 years. It'll be a great contest though. Uraidla will be better this year also.

Yes burch isnt the worst bloke to have as oldest in your side. He and his lego hair should be running around for many years to come.

I thought you were dead robby!!!

[mr oh well]

beware of macclesfield, there really starting to get things together up there, with a fit Aaron Julian(why this boy is playing hills div 2 is baffling) but shows his commitment to his club and town...theyll go close this year

maccy??? 1 player will make that much fo difference? didnt gum beat them last year? do you think gums new boys are gonna help??

[Get_The_Pellet]

went down to happy valley tonight to watch the 20/20... man lofty looked the goods beat SHOC by at least 8 goals.. played ridiculously quick running footy with sharp skills for the first hit out... j mac looked to slot in nicely in the side too got plenty of it... - on another note.. damn there was some sweet young talent down there.

[ohh i dunno]

yehhh will agree on that they looked super quick and clean with their disposal. valleys put out a young team and won we will see how they go if they play lofty.

Red hair TB?

No, brown hair unfortunatley. maybe now I can stop the ginger jokes towards him.

Lofty pretty happy with their first hit out- went in with a fairly young side with a few B grade players and senior colts from last year (and 2007) stepping up and really looking up to the standard. Lofty looked much fitter and quicker than their opponents and also much smarter and cleaner with their skills. All round a pretty dominant performance against a div1 amatuer side. I agree J Mac looked pretty good in the candy stripes and he was wrapped with the Mt Lofty style of footy. 20 20 is a great way to spend your pre season I reckon, nothing prepares you better for footy than playing the game!

[Paul Nixon]

The SHOC v Lofty game needs to be put into context. It looked like SHOC had their reserves playing so it wasn't an A1 side but Lofty did play pretty well for a first hit out. Good to see young pistols kick a bag.

whats a quick run down of this 20/20 comp. how many team involved? is it 2 x 20 min halves? very early for trial games ... is it taken seriously?

check the 20/20 footy thread in the southern league

[in and under]

Who were the standout players for mt lofty? Was the captain announced?

[Silky skills]

burch surely would be captain again at Subway Stadium

[ohh i dunno]

Wood, pistols, j mac looked good, joel brown and peto all looked gud but hard to tell as there were soo many good contributors. DK stevens was captain for the night but woody looks like in good contention 4 the captaincy.

went down to happy valley tonight to watch the 20/20... man lofty looked the goods beat SHOC by at least 8 goals.. played ridiculously quick running footy with sharp skills for the first hit out... j mac looked to slot in nicely in the side too got plenty of it... - on another note.. damn there was some sweet young talent down there.

And i thought it was just me, very impressive turnout
Lofty did look very sharp, yes SH didn't have there best side in but having not seen much Hills Footy i was reasonably impressed with the way they moved the ball for so early in the season.

Anyone know if they have many more players to slot back in?

Talking to SHOC runner, they still had a few players to come in but fitness was main issue. From last years team, we only had half our team out there. Some of those out there weren't looking the best either(2 words)!
The comp is used as a trial/hitout, but prize money does spice things up a bit.

couldn't get a kick in a street fight.

[the big fella]

I understand that both the SFL and the GSFL are and have always been keen to reinstate the Lovelock Shield.
The sticking point is the Hills League, and the junior aspect of the comp where the SFL dominated for a fair while.
