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?

[YellowSherrin]

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.

Pretty sure that's only when it's within the same competition

[ORDoubleBlues]

Looks like the Bridgewater restart will go ahead with all their recruits they are posting.
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

Who will be the 10th?

Who will be the 10th?

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.

Blackwood don’t have the numbers for 4 teams

[Littlelegs]

Out of curiosity, who is the oldest player in the division still playing A grade. Paul Lowe may be returning to birdwood with the payneham boys 16 years after he won their best and fairest but unsure if A grade is on the agenda.
Rumours are that Adam Rowett and Josh Davis and Justin JC Highfold will return with Lowe and boost the B grade depth in between soft tissue injuries.

How much has the Sedan/Cambrai talk has been influenced by BSR now going into recess for next year?

Would they be capable of getting 2 sides together, and would some of the Southern teams be willing to travel that far again? Is their future in C Grade? Whilst TV are working to hard to turn their club around, is it inevitable that these clubs merge down the track?

Cougar, do you remember, was there ever any talk of Pleasant Valley merging with S/C rather than Mount Torrens?
