TOPIC:

I lost all this info when WAFLonline shut down suddenly. I just want to keep a historical record of it to look back on here 10-20 years from now. I know it's not that interesting but I'm hoping it might be later. I lost the original "A decade of Colts Teams 2000-2009" and will set about trying to find all that info at a later date. I'll begin 2013 as the season progresses. By "New Decade of Colts Teams", I don't just mean chronologically, I'm also referring to the boundaries changes for the start of the 2010 season which gave us a much better chance of success.

Sorry - I wrote Ben Grace instead of Cody Grace. I tell ya, I'm getting more vague by the day.

All fixed! Ben Grace is Cody's brother who played colts and reserves some years ago.

Great job La Hincha..I lived in Kalgoorlie for a number of years and I enjoyed spotting the familiar names from there.

I remember Nick Hay looking like a very promising footballer when he headed down to the big smoke, do you know what happened to him?

Anyway i am glad that you have gone to the effort to recognise these young men, as I think that it is an achievement to play colts let alone make the league team.

G'day mate. Thanks for the thumbs up.

Yeah big Nick Hay is in the senior squad. Towards the end of last year he started to have a pretty solid impact in the ressies, so maybe if he keeps that improvement going, this could be his year.

Some of the Kal boys in this year's squad are outstanding. Lads you might know like Joe Scafidi, Hayden Kennedy, Mitch Turner, Liam Ellis, Anthony Champion just to mention a few.

All good Diorite boys, with Liam also coming from JPC juniors.

I coached young Anthony in 12's & 14's and it's good to see him continuing with footy as he is also a very good basketballer (along with Hayden)

Good luck to the boys and hopefully i will see them play sometime this year.

Thanks again LH

No worries mate. Yeah I'm pretty excited about all five. Yeah true, weird all Mines boys and none others.

AJ is really enjoying training he told me. He misses his family of course but once he gets to know all the local boys he should be fine. It takes time.

Yeah mate, get down and have a look at a colts game. Would be good to see ya.

Corrected an error from 2011.
