Forestvile

Screen/Smith/Flanagan/Mathews/
Newbold/Mahony/Lindsay/Wilson plus maybe one or two others -to hard for me to work out who will start and who won't?

Who is coaching Forestville and is Jess Mahony going to Forestville.

My information is that thew current coach will be there for the 2005 season and if Jess is given the all clear to play by the medical people she will be at the Eagles

Southern
looking at
Peddle
Graham
Birbeck
Nelson
Markham
as the likely starters, with young guard Fricker coming into the line-up early in the year after she returns from injury. Nolan, Rogers and Curcic likely to come off of the bench for some quality minutes

Richard,

You seem to know a lot of Southern's goings on. are we close to the club?

Sturt will still be very competitive with the 3 bowleys nixon prob back linder might be back from uni mahney wont leave summerton is an awesome player to have back so sont write them off.
Norwood have marsh and love from wa and i hear erin seward prob and put with that keller and nat buck plus lots of good juniors
And north prob phillips bibby lil keane piwanski and hill if she comes back and if not dhu.
eastern wont be too much diff.
forestville you would think would be close to whats already be said
west lamshed hill mencels back if not thinking of college nobbs and truslove theyll be tough
southern have already been said
centrals and woodville dont know
south will be tough with braithwaite kelson and co kylie evens goes into that side
much more even comp i think and i dont think any team will get their own way in the top 4 or 5.

In the know

Close to southern yes, both mens and womens, but not in the way you would expect, but id be very surprised if the womens line up is much different, as for the mens, well let me tell you Pochint is almost certain not to play, however one or two of his friends from WA who can play some serious ball are said to be very interested. Look for the usuals in hodge boys, Hobo, Clarke, Gerlach, and young guns wood, boal and braithwaite to step up for a big year

Excuse my ignorance on this matter...but...

I thought that ABL teams (men and womens) had limits on restricted players, as in they could only have 2 players from a national league team on their roster?

I could be wrong, in fact I probably am.

I agree Yogee. Marino, Summerton and Bowley ? two many restricted I think.

Woodpecker you seem to have named a number of potentially restricted players in your Sturt starters. Four by my count. Do you know of some way these girls might not be restricted? But you are right, if they can all suite it would be a competitive group. Makes you wonder how they could have fitted Kylie N. in doesn't it?

Anonymous are you on drugs the restricted player regulations are quiet clear and have nothing to do withwith the coach. It is on minutes played/overseas players/autralian squad members

M Bowley - restricted
A Marino - restricted
J Summerton - restricted - will not play due to many australian commitments
C Nixon ????????

Nixon and Bowley could be taken off the restricted list if they have played the magical number of senior games for Sturt.

will woodville retain the lightning girl?

Im pretty sure the woodville girl will be heading home.
