Might aswell write them down for 6 on the trot.
Don't forget that Ben Thompson and Eamon Bull are still sniffing around the place and the rumours about Pollard from Morphett Vale persist. The Willunga forward line might be:
Guitink (112) Hams (132) Bull (115)
Ryan (100+) Thompson (112) Pollard (100+)
There was a rumour of Matt thomas jumping ship to play for coin somewhere wasn't there?
Would he be ruing his decision now it seems there is a distinct lack of opportunity among the talls?
Perhaps the bloke who hinted at in-house fighting within the Demons could be spot-on, it all could be unravelling with limited opportunities & a number of new 'blow-in's' slipping in inconspicuously in the attempt to grab a flag (or another flag, in some of those big names cases), or will it just up the ante over pre-season? Some of the big names fighting for their spot may come into the 2009 season fitter than ever.
Matt Thomas doesnt need the coin. Hes got too much money as it is and isnt afriad to spend it!!

You forget that Matt Thomas in 2007 went to Stawell as the resting Ruckman for the state country side and played a very solid game there. His 2008 season was injury interrupted to say the least and will definitely play CHF and ruck in 2009 at the club so he wont be ruing the decision to stay.
Theres no illusions about who plays where at Willunga, people will earn their spot and are fully aware of the competition in our own club for positions and the ones willing to do the work will be rewarded!
Grape Ape Bull and Thompson will not return haha, as funny as that would be as Bully and Thommo between them have retired more times than i care to count! However their last retirements were their last i assure you
Im bored, as im sure others are of all the Willunga talk. We have some young guys that are going to make the next step to A grade next season, as all other clubs do and once again. Nothing is done and dusted so the talk of Willunga having the 09 premiership sewn up in December 08 is just plain stupid!!!!
