TOPIC:

We are well into pre season now so what's the goss? Gains/Losses,scratchy's?

Ellenbrook again have a new coach,be interesting to see how long this one lasts. They are playing a scratch match against Bassendean in a few weeks.
Dianella may struggle to field a colts team as it appears the "Mali" programme has moved on to align with Canning.
Swan View have scratch matches against Belmont and High Wycombe.

interesting to see ellenbrook still in C3, was told last year they would be going up... funnier things have happened.....

Looking forward to seeing a couple of the old foes this year after a year in C4, hopefully can continue to build on last years form, although i dare say it will be a bit more difficult this year, not that C4 was easy but probably have a few more clubs around the same level in C3 so top 5 will be interesting as I think Swan View and ourselves are expecting to slot in some where!

Grand finalists go through Bulldog and Ebrook fell short of achieving this.

Very true Maggies.
Wasn't one of the Eels boys that said that to Bulldog as he is well aware.......

never let the truth get in the way Whitey!

Isn't C3 E grade?

NO! Its C3, get up with the times.... People talking about the old E grade etc need to move on.

Hahaha maggies u are kidding yourself. C3 is equivalent to E grade. It is the 5th competition is you want to put it that way. Either way it is not regarded as C grade to anyone that actually understands the silly process.

In saying that the quality of each comp has improved so it may not be as poor a quality of what the old e grade use to be.

Not kidding myself, the last Time I checked it stated C3, not E grade. I know what your saying but you sort of answered your own statement by saying the quality had improved etc. C3 is exactly that C3. Not even worth arguing over actually. Who are the teams to look out for this year in C3? Ebrook probably will do their norm by finishing top two then failing. Nollamara? Kenwick? Rumour about Manning not playing , if they go ahead will they end up in C4?

I see the fixtures are up for the West Coast colts which affects some teams in C3.
Quite disappointing that a number of teams have lost their colts. Dianella,Manning,Nollamara and Kenwick all appear to have no colts now and I can see the comp turning into a farce. I'm pretty confident that the new Hills Rangers team will also be withdrawn which will see 2 byes. Also we will see Mt Lawley and Warnbros 2nd colts sides up against some clubs only colts. We beat Warnbros top colts team by 20 goals last year. If it stays as is then The View,Balla and Jandakot will be dishing out some good old floggins.
Some C4 teams also lost their colts,Secret Harbour surprisingly so,along with Kwinana. Pretty sure The Harbours colts played finals last year.
And just on the Manning situation,if they can't compete in C3 then they won't be in C4.
