That's a massive call, Punchy. I'm all for being positive about your sides chances, but i would think that any side who is going to win a grand final would need a decent ruckman. I haven't heard or read anything that suggests Belmont have replaced Battersby yet.

Thomson 2008 didn't have a decent ruckman and won a flag.

I must have been at a different Grand Final to you last year, Ammos08. I recall Anderton being a very good player for Thomson. He might not be fashionable, but the half a dozen times I saw him play last year, he was always competetive and gave their gun midfield 1st use of the ball on many occassions. That's all he has to do

they used the strengths of 2 big men in the ruck though, Anderton was a good around the ground ruckman (big long kick, great contested mark) and Babbs, although being fairly slow and not offering a heck of a lot around the ground (no offence intended), he is actually a pretty decent tap ruckman from what i've seen.

Babb didn't play in the finals.
And I think you'll find Vardy was Thomsons match winner in the ruck not Anderton although he was serviceable around the ground considering the warm conditions

You know I heard in a pub that Belmont were renting out there rooms this year to struggling uni students so they can afford past player payments. Also, they won't be playing on Winter Reserve this year, as they are actually selling it to a consortium that is planning a highrise appartment complex to be built there, with the money from the sale to go to past player paymets. Home games will occur on the roof. Also, each netballer is becoming pregnant through IVF in order to sell off the babies on the black market, again to meet past player payments.

True story.

That is one of the better stories I've read in quite some time. Thanks, Swamp Creature. You have brightened up my dull Tuesday arvo!
 
I'd like to hear peoples thoughts on who is going to be the recruits of the year?

Also who is going to be some of the big losses?

venner (if a done deal) will be huge for bph

New coach dave leech (centrals) can definately play and foster will be very handy for centrals. Iordanis could be if he actually decides to train.

as i'm new to league not sure who will be a big loss

do you know of any hitman??
 
Pick ups:
Winch- M Smith
North- T Gread


Losses:
Bannock- Woods and TMG
BPH- B Girgic
Winch- P Elliot
