Why wouldn't Cooney wanna play sapaul?

In a press conference the other week ( to announce he had resigned with the Bulldogs ) a media person was heard to say : "I used to live in Adelaide" to which Cooney quipped : "Oh, you manged to get out too".....got a few laughs, must admit I had a chuckle too.

Red heads generally like the cooler weather in Melbourne, can't really blame the guy.

Doesn't seem quite the team we would have had 10 years ago, but still pretty strong. Lacks another Pavlich type and another Cooney type to be up there with the Vics.

Other possibles are S Burgoyne, Waters, Johncock, Rutten, D Motlop, Pearce (qualify?), Stokes, Varcoe, Thomas, Grundy (qualify?), Brad Ebert. I think you'd have to consider Justin Westhoff too given the state of our forward line.

I think I would add Rutten (drop Goodwin), add Burgoyne (drop Monfries) and seriously consider Grundy, Johncock & Pearce. We are OK for defenders but our forward line is lacking.

Does Goodes qualify for Victoria??? was born in Wallaroo

Does Goodes qualify for Victoria??? was born in Wallaroo

When SOO was being played with The Allies involved it was nigh on impossible to work out who qualified for who. So if he was born in SA, for the purposes of this exercise then yes, he is ours.

The rules from memory were changed to get Carey in an Allies guernsey to try and add more credibility to the series as a whole.

[beef]

Goodes played for vic in allstars game last year, so thats why i put him in the vic team

[GWW]

SA would get smashed against the Vics given who would be available to play. Only one quality key forward (Pavlich), is a bit of an indictment.

you can have Goodes he might knock a goal or three off the final score

That is a great line up. Of the top of your head Beef, great effort. That side would smash the living carp out of us.

There's not any decent options for Full Forward. That's where another Pavlich type is needed. Mattner is the other who is punching above his weight. Another Cooney type replacing him and the team would be pretty strong.

The story behind goodes goes along the lines of being a born and bred south aussie but playing first organised game of footy in victoria (either horsham or mildura) hence playing for victoria in these types of games. similar scenario to greg inglis and israel folau with rugby state of origin

was in mildura. merbein to be precise. my old club.

he kicked 7 of his teams 9 goals in his first ever game. my older bro kicked one of the others!

he'll say he's from Horsham though, as he only lived in mildura for a year or so, and then moved to horsham as a 16 or 17 year old.

Yeah fair enough then. And Mattner?? Don't you mean someone else?

Poor old Westhoff got dropped for this week. Chocko must have read this thread.
