Was there a score. How did the crow's look.

Good reckons a 3 point Mallala win maybe thought the crows running was good, took it right up to the Mallala runners with good hard pressure footy, looks like they had a good group of young players willing to really work hard for every touch, put Mallala to the test, our next test will be this week V Sth Gawler before the first rnd, cricket all over should nearly have a full squad playing

Mallala by a few points.

For CMS - Full Forward # 19 is a gun and played well. The ruckman is about 7'6'' and 450 pounds There were a few young ones who contributed, so I'm not sure if they were missing players (like Mallala), but I thought the standard was very high. No injuries that I saw.

Had a strange aura with the jumper colours - crows v magpies

Adam Jolly kicked 5-6, coming off 105 goals last season. He's a jet!

Ash Duncan from South Gawler via Nightcliff in Darwin has a clearance pending to Hamley Bridge. Big signing by the Bomber's, quality footballer but he wouldn't have come cheaply on big coin at the Den.

The clearance is pending. I'm sure Kirk is on top of the points thing but heck they'd be running short by now, surely?

Thought Zanandrea was the last of the points???

Just a thought but maybe Hamley could think about putting some time and money into a junior program instead of self destructing in 1-2 years. Who runs that show?

I think numbers are the issue there. Not sure how they lure kids across, maybe from the Barossa, but I'm sure they're aware of the dire situation it leaves the club in without juniors coming through the ranks.

Not sure how much truth in the rumour but I heard he wont be getting cleared without him or Hamley stumping up a decent ammount of coin to South.

HELLO

I see Dawson back to Balak OS...... A very handy player back at the club for you guys specially with the lost of whiskey. Dawson I reckon will be the big difference for you guys to be pushing into that 4 now.

Great to have him back. Will add much needed firepower to our forward line.

With the loss of Whiskey, it will place greater reliance on Justin Walker in the ruck, who is a great big man but has been in his brother's shadow for a long time. Justin will be one of our most important players this season.

How are clubs suppose to put time and money trying to promote and build juniors if there aren't any?
Kids are too interested in playing ps3, smoking weed and fingering girls which means footy or sport in general gets put on the back burner.
I know that we promote juniors to play senior footy wherever possible but the talent pool is so shallow that some of the junior coming through just aren't up to senior standard.

I know for a fact we didn't match their offer but the lure of playing with mates is what got Ash across.
But for the sake of a good rumour I'll play along and say he is on huge $$$

What has south got to do with it if the clearance is from Nightcliff?

This kid has talent galore...
It amazes me how he hasnt made it in town in a couple of attempts, appears to have most of the attributes to be a league footballer.

You mean. Promote your juniors so you can fit all your imports under the points allocation and then sit them on the bench for 3 and a half quarters?

I've only been there for 2 seasons so can't comment on what use to happened , but we have always played 3-4 juniors most games even when they didn't need to play. And that was to expose them to senior footy.
They also spent plenty of time on the field and not 3 and a half quarters on the bench.
But what you said reads a lot better, so I'm happy to roll with that
