Tiger your a goose why would you joke about that?Youre pathetic just like the bulk of StPauls FC.
It's blokes like him that get the crowds to games and unlike the bulk of his team mates he actually performs when it counts.
Not sure if St Pauls still play Old Hailebury each year in a practice match but when a mate was coaching them I saw a few very 1 sided matches albeit practice ones in favour of the ammos mob. Being from a lower div SFL club you could see the gap but St Pauls got up for finals still each year to their credit.
What's the word on Chelsea Heights? Have read a bit about other clubs, but nothing of this club.
Who were they playing on the weekend? I caught a half of the twos game and the opposition looked good - wondering what happened in the firsts.

Senior List
Spoke to a few guys from Tooronga- Malvern on the wkend and their quietly confident that they can take another step up the ladder this year and possibly push for finals. Have apparently recruited a few more country boys or are all 'supposed guns'? They may be a darkhorse and sneak under the radar of a lot of teams especially early in the season. It can only be good for the league with all these teams being hopeful of an improving season.....I guess we will just have to wait and see how it all pans out???
At the moment I guess you could break down the ladder into chunks:
1.) St Kilda City, St Pauls, Cheltenham
2.) Clayton, Chelsea Hts
3.) Tooronga, East Brighton, Sringvale Dists, Mordialloc
4.) Highett.......last by a long way.....
Thoughts??

stpauls first up isn't always a walk in the park, should put tooronga back in their box
Beware the Markologist at TM-
St Pauls will beat Tooronga-Malv. by minimum 10 goals. Would not like to be playing them early this year. Will Springy be able to go with Clayton next Friday? What a great way to kick of Div1. How does the SFL standard today shape up against the SFL of say 5-10 years ago?

Thanks for the lovely PM Tiger i know who you are and i wouldn't be talking things up to much after your last 2 finals series (didn't get a kick in either year).However Tooronga will no at quarter time of Round 1 if they have improved enough to be a contender.I think St Pauls will win easily and go on to a top2 finish and a rematch with StKilda City in the big one.

you would be correct in guessing im a 1's fringe player. Lack of fitness is main thing letting me down.........you can keep guessing and i'll tell you if you get it.
Celebrations were great however 1's losing was a bit of a dampener on things, still went hard.
What made you EB guys go to Heatherton anyways? Coin or know ppl at the club??

SFL Season Preview
Darryl Pittman
If practice-match form and the standard of recruiting is any guide, the Southern Football League season that kicks off this Saturday should be a clinker.
Reigning premier St Kilda City again looms as the team to beat, despite losing some key members of the 2007 premiership team, Salim Hassan (West Adelaide) and Adrian Newman (Darley) among them.
Much-travelled ruckman Steve Arvanitis is also on the move again, this time to Tooradin, while Dave Sheehan has returned to Moorabbin West.
Warren Kruse has been cleared to Lilydale and Ryan Pitcher has retired.
However, experienced rover John Lindsay will bolster the Saints' stocks, as will Ben Artz, who played in St Pauls' losing grand final against the Saints.
Gavin Mahony has crossed from Ashwood, while midfielders Michael (from Mt Gravatt) and John Stinear (De La Salle) will provide more run through the centre.
The Saints are banking on former WAFL star Myles Quinn, who was at Strathmore last season, to cover the loss of Arvanitis, while Craig Allender, a forward from Old Ivanhoe, is expected to do well. Simon Campbell has returned to the Peanut Farm after a stint in Tasmania.
Richard Houston will again coach the Saints.
``We have a younger group and hope to be around the mark again. Our aim is to make the four and inject some of our Under 17s into the senior team.''
Last year's runner-up, St Paul's East Bentleigh, has recruited well, with Joseph Krieger from Mornington and Jarrod Rafferty from Frankston impressive in scratch matches.
Trent McIntyre from Bentleigh and Nathan White (Katandra) have also added some extra dash to the Doggies' running game, while ruckman Trevor Timms has returned from overseas.
With their only major loss that of Artz to St Kilda City, the Doggies again look set to be a leading contender at the business end of the season. Adam Shepard remains at the helm at McKinnon Oval.
Clayton, third last season, will be led by former Carlton star Darren Hulme, who replaces George Jones.
``It's a tall order taking the place of someone as well respected as George, but I'm looking forward to repaying the faith the club has shown in me,'' Hulme said after his charges easily defeated Highett in a practice match.
Hulme's task will be made a little easier with the return of former premiership player Dave ``Gumby'' Roberts from overseas and former league best-and-fairest winner Victor Currie, back from Noble Park.
Justin Isaac has also returned to Clayton Reserve, from Hastings, while Brett Gilder's availability will depend on when his services are required by Sandringham.
Hulme is hopeful of playing, but has been troubled by soft tissue injuries.
``I'd love to say I could get through at least half the games, but the older I'm getting, the body keeps letting me down,'' he lamented.
``If I can scratch out eight to 10 games, I'd be pretty happy.''
Cheltenham, stung by its narrow defeat by Clayton in last year's first semi-final, is shaping as the big improver.
The Rosellas' shrewd recruiting campaign has unearthed the extra talent they believe can make the difference.
``We've added some height, an area in which we were deficient last season,'' coach Brett Shalders said, referring to the arrival of Ewen McKenzie and Adam Martin from Sandringham.
Both big men have impressed with their practice match form, as has Daniel Pabst, who has crossed from Oakleigh District. Andy Taranto has returned from Noble Park, while the recruitment of star Benalla rover Adam Cole will make for a formidable on-ball division.
Other new signings include Travis Kennedy, a defender from Ringwood, Andrew Brown, a key defender from Warrandyte, and former Balwyn wingman Anthony Steer.
Forward Shaun Bedggood from Lalbert and onballer Matt Whitty from East Ringwood have also joined the Rosellas, whose major losses include Mick Polwarth, who has returned to Greta, Glen Burnell (Benalla) and Jason Landorf, who has retired.
East Brighton, which finished fifth last season, will sport a new look this season with more than 30 new players on its list and a new coach in Barry Hope.
Paul De Koeyer and Ben Skinner have crossed from Oakleigh District, while Phil Hope returns from Maribyrnong Park to join his brother.
Stephen Kelly, a wingman from St Mary's Salesian, and former Uni Blues midfielder Tim Terry will add some bite around the middle, while onballers Matthew Solimo (Wangaratta) and Justin King (Rye) are expected to do well.
Other newcomers include utility/defender Alexander Wheeler from Mulwala, Chris Hunt, a half-forward from Waverley Blues, and former Calivil United pair, defender Daniel Smith and key forward Adam Knight.
The return of Dan Condon from overseas is another bonus for the club.
However, the Vampires have lost a bucketload of experience and talent, with premiership players Clint Einsedel (Heatherton), Matt Jamieson (Heatherton) and Glenn Hislop (Waverley Blues) departing Hurlingham Park.
Stephen Ryan (Old Xaverians) and Jarrod Matthieson are also among the losses. Jon Adams has retired.
Chelsea Heights pulled off a recruiting coup by signing former Frankston captain and best-and-fairest winner Ash Roberts.
Coach Ryan Flack has also lured his brother Matthew, a tall key position player from Swinburne University, to the club, with ex-Ellinbank coach David Quirk and Ryan Miller, a creative flanker from Kilcunda Bass, among other notable pick-ups.
Jack Trevere, a dashing midfielder from Gippsland Power, has also impressed in practice matches, while Travis Coote, Brendan Confoy, Jarrod Uren, Paul Oakley and Jason O'Brien have all returned after lay-offs.
The Demons' major departures are Leigh Baldry and Ryan Stewart, both undergoing knee reconstructions, and Matt Winchester, who has gone overseas.
The Demons start their season on Sunday in the ANZAC tribute match against Cheltenham at Weatherall Road.
Tooronga Malvern, under new coach Rob Mallett, hopes to improve on its seventh placing last season and has picked up a swag of recruits, including former Old Camberwell ruckman Ryan Chard.
Chard has an impressive record in amateur ranks and should provide a huge boost to the Panthers' on-ball division.
``We will probably be fielding up to 12 new players in our first game, so it really is a new-look team,'' Mallett said.
Other recruits include Beau Wilson, a goalkicking wingman from Croydon, ruckman Paddy Dunne from St Mary's Salesian, defender John Delahunty from North Ballarat and Albury onballer Matt Caroll, who will serve as Mallet's assistant coach.
And the Panthers have picked up a handful of players from Sale, including key defender Chris Horstman, backman Ryan Devisser, on-baller Justin McLay and winger-flanker James Hammill.
New Highett coach Steve Wright is under no illusions about the challenge facing him and his team this season.
``We've started a little behind the eight-ball with poor numbers early, but we've rectified that and we'll be OK. We'll be fine at the top end but may drop away a little in depth,'' the former South Melbourne and Sydney Swans champion conceded.
``Our first priority is to remain competitive in the top division and when we've got our first win on the board, we'll know where we are.''
The Bulldogs will be bouyed by the recruitment of former Clayton pair Tony Bevacqua and Joe Sibilia, who have crossed from University Blacks and Dylan Mounsay, a likely type from Northcote Park.
Wright's son Josh will also don the red-white-and-blue this season, along with former Caulfield Grammarians teammate Todd Robinson.
The Bulldogs' losses include Matt Andrews to Black Rock, Paul Murphy (Springvale Districts) and Brad Sheers (Skye).
Mordialloc has increased its stocks substantially, while maintaining last season's list.
Key signings include ex-Edithvale-Aspendale pair, rover Shane Antrobus and onballer Jason Ferraro.
Other new faces at Ben Kavanagh Reserve include Brendan Hutton (Mt Eliza), Nathan Robinson (Old Mentonians), Luke Walker (Dromana), Ricky Mether (Bonbeach) and Aidan Jolly (Pines).
Former Clayton forward David White has joined the Bloods from Mt Eliza, while Shane Horler, brother of Marc, returns to football after a long absence.
Matthew Reid (ex St Bede's and Edithvale-Aspendale) and Andrew Killingsworth from Cheltenham are among other arrivals, and David Grose returns to the club after two years with Devon Meadows.
Football nomad Terry McKinley (Heatherton) is the only notable loss as Aaron Martello embarks on his third season as coach.
All eyes will be on the promoted Springvale Districts on its debut in the top division when it takes on Clayton in Friday night's season-opener at Newcomen Road.
The Demons have been buoyed by the return of former skipper Jason Hall from Cora Lynn, while much travelled veteran ruckman Ty Esler will add some much needed height.
Former Highett defender Paul Murphy has also joined the Districts, with John McMurray, a defender from Keysborough, and former Noble Park player Tate McKee also new hands on deck.
The Districts' major loss is Mick Odachowski to Canberra, while Darin Joyce, Glenn Kemp, Sareth Souen, Shane Paul and Drew Little have all crossed to Dandenong Demons.
