HFL Division 1 (Central)

[R. White]

Justin Calderbank coached H/Valley B last year and prior to that one year at Reynella 18 and prior to that Blackwood 3rd side?

Didnt the A grade coach have something to do with Happy Valley in the past as well. Are the two connected?
I personally cant see the need to dispose of a coach who has had the success that Scott has had. Yes there was a **** up this year, for which he is partly responsible, but he still got the team to a prelim at worst. Not only that, all the players that play under him love the bloke.
Whilst Justin will do a good job, why fix what aint broke. I think that is the point DA was trying to get across!!

Hi DA welcome back.
I hope you have found a job in Adelaide.
I tried very hard to find one for you in my new project, but it didn’t work out.
However, I look forward to locking swords again this year!
I am also disappointed that Madson has been left behind, perhaps I will find out why, at the Stirls shortly?
In the meantime I think IB will be a finals contender this year (after being quiet over the last couple)
The way they play for their coach ( plus helpers) will push them through and any new coach should not discount this.

Where's the Anzac Day game being played? Heard Ironbank have been shafted with the new draw by the HFL with regard to playing night games at home under their new lights. I'm told the HFL haven't given them one opportunity to play a night game. Its a bit rude from Ironbanks point of view considering they've travelled to Mt Lofty and Blackwood for night games over the past few years. With the 4 teams who now have effective lights (Mt Lofty, Blackwood, Hahndorf and Ironbank), I'm told Mt Lofty, Blackwood and Hahndorf have 2 night games each and Ironbank none. Might be a case where Ironbank boycott these games I'd suggest. Good work "HFL"... how many progams have they put out now... I think they're up to number 6 or 7. Each new program seems to get worse and worse.

Seems to be the go these days with the lower ranked teams from the previous season getting the ar$e end. I have seen a couple of proposed programs but the one that they are going to implement involves mt barker playing the top four from last year in the first 4 weeks. Pretty unfair in both cases.
Anzac Games are lofty v bankers, dorfs v roos, uri v woods, birdwood v raiders and onkas v loby. They are labelling this the rivalry round. Not sure yet if any games will be played on the sunday 25th or under lights sat but will find out when they print the fixtures.

Couldn't possibly be true could it??? Jailbird???

IF we're talking Adam Fisher, definitely not the case, got offered some, but was more impressed with the club and the people running it. That's coming from feedback to the committee members.
Block is a good friend of C. Rogers so it was a case of Block was coming to Barker and Fisher was happy to join him. Fitness test tomorrow night so will find out if there are anymore recruits.

Is it correct that Fisher is a little behind the 8 ball at present with fitness due to illness?

[Spearhead]

Cuttso out at devils training last night? Say its true!!

[Get_The_Pellet]

Cuttso out at devils training last night? Say its true!!

i hear TRUE..

[in and under]

how are mt lofty looking? have heard they wont challenge at all this season.

[magpiemaster]

i hear devils will be top 2 easy along with blackwood and handorf. big recruits

[in and under]

heard the magpies will struggle this year also with many leaving, they missed there premiership window! thought mt lofty had lost bowden, temme bros, fleet, nielson with no real gains.

[Rooster]

i hear devils will be top 2 easy along with blackwood and handorf. big recruits

so blackwood, handorf and lofty are all going to be top 2 easy? uraidla in the top 2 aswell?

How in the hell can you fit 4 clubs in the top 2?? Hahndorf promise this every year but haven't delivered for a while despite their "star recruits"

[charlieslim]

The Brett Heinrich i know is 6 feet tall and built like an outback dunny.
Strong as a bear, as quick as a cheetah and can jump higher than a gazelle!

Oh no sorry i was thinking about someone else. Sorry Rabbit!!!
He did win the Mail Medal in the GSFL in 2001 though at Langhorne Creek so obviously can play a bit.

Also won the Putney Magpies "Club Drunk" Award back in 2007 when in London... so the boy can drink and party!!

Adam has a case of glandular fever, should be back this week. Lucas and Adam have been to all sessions, sick or not.

We have talked enough about seniors, who are the exciting juniors coming up from u/15 and u/17 this year.Heard it is the best crop of youngsters for many a year whom will make an impact given the new points rule,

[jumbo20]

And who do you guys think will be the team that best exploits the points system this year legally?

[Amateur Footy]

And who do you guys think will be the team that best exploits the points system this year legally?

Legally? How could a club illegally exploit the points system if they want to win premiership points?

[jumbo20]

Well if they play an eligible u/17 in their A grade it is my belief that they get a point back on that given day- not illegal but clever list management providing that the kid selected is up to the standard
