Does the 3 player transfer limit from 1 club apply?

by the looks a Liam Davis and Brett ancell are ex players so have avoided that rule.
does this immediately make birdwood more relevent?

Depends what you mean by relevant. Will they improve with 5 quality players yes - how far up the ladder depends on what Macclesfield, Kangarilla & Echunga do in the recruitment season. Also depends on if Birdwood loose any which they cannot afford to do.

What Im hearing so far - Macclesfield lost a few but will gain a few also so will stay around the same mark
Kangarilla rumors are some Victor Harbor footballers are heading to the roos
Echunga hearing little from there camp at this stage

I think with their 5 ins- it will put them around the Kersbrook/Gumeracha mark so they will prob push top 4/5.

Should make the competition stronger with 9 sides adding in a bye with an 18 round comp.


Looks like the only other sides announcing their recruits as yet are Gumeracha & Meadows. Very early days and most will keep their cards close to their chest but its good to see the Country Division getting stronger.


May end up being 10 sides

Been a little talk of the following,

Blackwood returning with their B grade in Div 2, and D in the Div 2 reserves

Ironbank/Cherry Gardens (unsure if they're enjoying SFL)

Sedan/Cambrai (definitely don't like travelling to Murrayville!)

Bit hard for Ironbank to enjoy the SFL when they don't have enough teams to fill their quota, it's a shame the SFL committee is so weak on the matter.
my yes be yes, my no be no
