Have heard about 1 Norwood fella, he was a star in this years SANFL grand final. Don't want to be the one to mention any names but if the falcons can sign this bloke, it will be HUGE! (I believe it is very close to being a done deal though). Not sure about the second Norwood bloke you are referring to though.
heard from a couple of SMOSH boys on the weekend and also his cousin plays for us and also mentioned he may be on the move, not saying its 100% hes off to G&G or leaving smosh for that matter but that was the whisper

Is the horses mouth a good enough source? will not be at at SMOSH next year!!!

I've heard from a very good source at the falcons that they have picked up about 4 new players and this doesn't include the Norwood players that you are referring to, I don't know how much an x sanfl player contributes to the points system but if the falcons have picked up 4 good recruits they may already be pretty close to the having all there points. Could someone comment on how the points system works.

If you played over 25 junior games at a club you are a 0 pointer, regardless of where else you play.
This works well for PNU because half of the players out of the league/ressies played juniors at PNU at some stage. Good to see they're finally starting to get that better connection with some of those sorts of players coming back, if true.

Since PNU played with 0 points this year, Im sure it won't be an issue getting a few high profile recruits and adding a few points to the tally in preparation of divvy 2.

I'd say Pnu and scotch will have to be proactive in coming up. Any more player movements in divvy 2? Not as much as div 3 id say! Still only November so I'm sure more of these rumours will play out in due time, i still expect broadview to be the benchmark with some of their recruits, along with smosh, phos and possibly paoc/shoc. Gonna be a tight exciting division though, probably the tightest in the league by the sounds of it!
i was a little of the mark with my call of G&G but Porplycia will be playing for Plymton in Div 3 heading across there with ex coach, you cigar smoke must have been clouding seeing this one coming Cohiba

If he doesn't move back to Melbourne, he is a definite in for the falcons.

Yes I also heard that a raggies player actually approached PNU about playing for the falcons, not sure if it's the talented player that your referring to blackwhite. Have you got a name for me blackwhite? And where does he play?

I believe he goes by the name of Scott Barabas. I hear he is almost certain to line up in the black & white next year. Wonder what made him approach one of his original clubs biggest rivals. Nevertheless, I'm sure the falcons are glad to have him on board.
