Down the Hill wrote:Less big names is a big call Luke 15. Those you have mentioned are not big names but are not no-names. Lockett is a junior product who played Bay juniors then returned to Reynella in 2011. Regular A grader since then who has played Association footy and finished high in their B & F last year. Caruso played Association last year and a regular A grader last 3 seasons, Moyle is similar and Minns is 18/19 and a junior product who I think played State U15's and was in the South system but returned full-time to Reynella this season. Thompson another regular A grader last 3 or 4 years who has played Association footy and Hamilton is the ex-Noarlunga/South lad who was tied up in the clearance wrangle and is not allowed to play against Noarlunga as part of the weird clearance concessions. Another Shoe Boy / Munga special that one.
McEntee X 2, Farrier, Prescott, Doughty, Bradshaw are BIG names and guys like Aschmoneit, Munce, Carter, Bradwell, Broadbent, Smitheram, Lock plus a few covered above have all been around a fair while and are household SFL names who have either played in their 2010 or 2013 flags or last years GF loss. I'm not sure if any other club can match that.
I wasn't talking about their game plan at the minute L15. I was just saying that the venues of SFL finals are often seriously affected by winds in September plus played on grounds that are much different in size and shape than what Reynella play half their game's on. I'm not saying this is a disadvantage to them but that it won't be game plan that wins them a flag moreso the talent and experience they have on the park.

The Premiership is Reynella's to lose and anything less will be an abject failure. Game plans and game styles count for little come finals in the SFL.
