The question i have

[Carn the Lions]

Care for a wager on that prediction??

Definately.

We have lost no-one, EC will have their reserve grade playing in Premier Division. Having a look at EC reserves team, we have the likes of Duss, Mann, Pierce, Waldren, Gatte, Jones, Pinchen covered.

Bartlett, Toussis, Pricey will run wrings around those guys.

Unless EC get around 20 recruits and lose no -one, which wont happen

They're bound to lose a few, but don't write off that first number.

[chatovadafloor]

$100.00 for who finishes higher at end of the season. Lock it in and good luck

$100??? I thought you said a wager.

[chatovadafloor]

That is the wager I put forward.

[Pekay]

Make it interesting! $100 for each win ahead of the other team!

Done deal.

The 20 recruits would have to be top notch as well, which will be hard to do.

Gonna bump this thread in about 9 months...

Kenny is committed to the club and we thank him for that. Most of our list is in good shape and we have re-signed all our key players which is fantastic.

Ken takes over at the Lion den
Named as senior coach.

Kenny will lead the way, great ambassodor for the club and all the players respect him greatly. Hopefully get a few of his mates from up north to join us.

Very positive vibe around the club

Will you blokes be dropping to D2 next year?

[DLH]

According to the draft I've seen they are.

And how Blacktown get to walk in to Div 3 is beyond me.

Notice Bully has moved on Pete, bit disappointing from your perspective?

[Pekay]

Disappointing yes, as he's set us up well and had a year to run, however, when opportunity knocks you have to answer. He's kept me in the loop about it, and has the chance to further his coaching to a higher level at Balmain, so he leaves with our full blessing. As a Hawkesbury local he'll still be involved with us, albeit in a much reduced capacity, which is greatly appreciated.
With the distance involved, I can't see any of our cattle keen to travel that far, but one of our young guns will more than likely follow him for the same reasons, and every club member sees the logic in that, you have to give your talented players every opportunity to test themselves, and he won't get that in D2 or D1.

"

I agree DLH.

[Pekay]

I'm trying to figure out where their cattle will come from....at present, we have at least a dozen on our list from the Blacktown area, all juniors from the Bombers going back as far as the 80s, and they are already committed to playing out at Bensons (More suited to our twos, really, but numbers are numbers) and the better young kids out of the Bombers go to ECE or SHE or whatever their name is (tic) so I can only imagine either development officers from the AFL (They play 9s together) or the indigenous boys that play 9s as well.

Perhaps the AFL recognise that whatever the make up of this team is, it may have a year of Auburn'esque dominance if put in D4, so D3 was the logical step.
