Winter - Uni for more opportunity, first change behind Mennie and Agar, bitter - yes. Uni fees might have helped.
I Borgas - Melbourne work.
Tom Cooper - Pt Adel money
Ben Cooper - not coming back
James Smith - not playing, growing spuds.
Kane Richardson - WT, fallout from brothers suspension.
Where is Kerr playing this year, needs to move if Luderman still at Pt Adel, few clubs could use a quality keeper. Heater31 saw your bloke last year, very impressive.

Is there a chance that Carey ends up opening for the Redbacks and playing as a batter with Ludeman sliding back in at 7?
Agree on Reardon. Looks a ripper. Not sure what his batting is like but his hands up to the stumps are incredible.

Bulls forever wrote:Kerr needs to be playing and keeping, is rated by the gully boys but playing second fiddle to Luderman is doing him no favours. Reardon opened against us last year and got a neat 30 odd against Habers and Co. Darling still doing the rounds Heater, looking for something no one can give him. Forgot to mention young Connolly from Kensington is off to Melbourne as well.
SACA have to move on from interstate recruits unless they are guns, Hughes etc, so no more Luderman, keep Carey and let the next two, Kerr and Reardon develop. Big decision needs to be made by Nielsen to relegate his son back to GC and let the future play, ie Reaedon, Kerr.

I will play where I'm put.

Perhaps a couple of grounds are unavailable that first week?

We raised the issue with Delegates and programming committee, but did it very delicately. We did not want to be seen to be complaining, with everything we have gone thru the last nine months trying to survive, were just grateful to be in the comp at all!!
BUT, it is really a disgrace. Talk about the AFL having a compromised draw, this is exactly what has happened here. Every year the draw is moved two weeks forward, everyone knows that, and we had planned for the Bye in Round 1, only for it too be swapped around with Woodville.
Several points why it matters:
1. Now we play a one day game on Oct 15, then get two weeks off. Would be much better to have the Bye in Round 1, then start the season for better flow.
2. In a two day game, you potentially have the chance to win outright, therefore getting valuable extra points, not available in One day games.
3. In the one day comp when you have a Bye, you play the SACA Under 19's, normally a win occurs then.
Now Woodville get all these benefits. The worse thing of all is Geoff Turley from Woodville is in charge of Programming Committee, and gave no valid reasons why it was changed, ovals was one thing mentioned, but this can be sorted with Park 25 ovals, talk about a Conflict of Interest!
We made the decision not to challenge SACA on it, personally I would have, but we have more important issues to sort out this year to make sure we are around for many more years to come!
