TOPIC:

Yes Willie Rioli is all class but still can play colts this year I believe. haven't got down there much yet, will go this week, but is Collica down their this year fit and ready?

I reckon with Hams, Miller, Collica, Rioli and Sokol in the forward line with Saunders, Pullman, Mugumbwa and Gillespie it should be a little potent.

My new side. Found it very hard to leave some guys out of the starting 22 but that is good. The reserves should be fairly strong again with plenty of competition.

League side

FF - Sokol - Saunders - Collica
HF - Mugumbwa - Pullman - Miller
C - Schloithe - Bairstow - M. Carter
HB - Gugliamana - Gillespie - Bewick
FB - White - Borovac - McIntosh
Ruck - Sellar - Cook - Hams

Int - Higgins - Kelly - Martinez - Ross

Reserves side

FF - Matera - Mills - Hill
HF - Andreoli - Monaco - Sgherza
C - Lowrie - Harvey - Pickett
HB - B. Verrier - Gulley - S. Verrier
B - Banks - Doughty - Laurino
Ruck - Bolger - Burnett - Maskos

Interchange - Panizza - Parry - Strom - Hogan

Not too bad. Should be some competitive games this year . . . . hopefully

Pickett will be in the league side probably at the expense of Sokol on that side mate .... real star in the making there

and it's good to see SFFC revert back to their 80's style logo this year and hopefully for ever more. Just red and white!!! No black shite anywhere. Didn't mind the newer version in the "V" shape, was great but the addition of black for some reason . . . NO!

Didn't get to the game but a solid effort from the boys again. Won by a few points against a pretty strong Peel side from what I read. Anyone got any info on who did well, played, goals, injuries etc?

Also noticed that on the wafl site another 10 point player appears for SF. Callum Phillips from Tuggeranong in the NEAFL. Could find out too much about him though. Hope he is a good one as he is a 10 pointer. Nathan Krakouer also still on the list as a 10 point player.

Roll on next week.

Last news was that Nathan Krakouer is at the SANFL Port Adelaide - this is unconfirmed I might have to suss out their website to check that 'Dogs

Don't know much about Phillips , still no update on the SFFC webbie as yet

Heard that some (unconfirmed) jumper allocations are:

Marlon Pickett - 25
Tim Kelly - 8
James Laurino - 12
Adam McIntosh - 7
Brock Higgins - 11
Brendan Verrier - 15
Steve Verrier - 18
Jimmy Sellar - 14
Josh Pullman - 23
Steve Mills - 22

According to Bouncedown 2014 Callum Phillips is a 1 point player from Canning and is 183cm and 89kg's. Plays midfield and will wear the number 64.

James Laurino is listed as number 34, Adam McIntosh number 18, Steve Verrier number 15 and Brendan Verrier 53.

There have apparently been some number changes during the offseason MA .... need confirmations on some of them or all of them

Willie Rioli jnr now wears the famous uncle's 49 as well I hear


Late Edit: have a look on the WAFL site - some of them are indicated - bit dodgy I know but hey

Yep I know the Bouncedown and WAFL preview magazines can be unreliable. Interesting to note that above the team lists in Bouncedown it says all information supplied by the respective club.

Also there is a picture of Jacob Brennan with the sub heading 'is now a Peel player'. I know it's only a little thing but it is the combination of all these little things in the media and the lack of information supplied to members and supporters from the clubs that is contributing to the downfall of the WAFL.

Yeah mate - I'm waiting for our homepage to be updated for the real deal

Cheers
