Cheers for the info. So Jesse and Corey grindlay should be two very quality players in the league. Heathcote have recruited well, only just behind white hills for best offseason

Leitchy Gunny should improve. They have recruited 6 or 7 locals back to the club plus a few others. They are starting from a long way back but a great way to start to rebuild by getting locals back.
Knew of a club that make contact with this bloke a year or 2 ago, requested large $$ and a handsome sign on.
The new president is keeping his word of spending up to break the drought!

Would be great for the likes of White Hills and Heathcote if they got up there after being down for a long while. Both looked to have picked up some real quality. At the other end of the scale are Huntly favs for the Wooden Spoon at this stage?

Huntly in all sorts and will battle it out with Elmore I think for the spoon. Unfortunately Huntly’s premiership window that was around a few years ago is nothing but a distant memory.
Both White Hills and Heathcote have been down this road before, recruiting quality players and having varied results despite paying out good money. Let’s hope both clubs are not going to make the same mistakes they have done previously which has cost both clubs plenty from a monetary perspective and saw both clubs fall to the bottom of the ladder for extended periods.

Elmore will be miles better than Huntly and leitchville. Interesting that while hills have to spend ridiculous money on recruits to be successful. You’d think with their location and the recent success of their under 17 sides that they would be able to blood some good kids
Davies is quality at his best but had injury issues last year and really struggled when he got on the park. Hopefully a full pre season gets him back to his best.
Interesting take this early on. It's hard considering they probably are the only ones playing by the salary cap rules.

The way your talking they would be 20 points over on the points system.

I'm saying it seems a bit exaggerated. If they were going as hard as these guys are suggesting they wouldn't have any points left.
How am I saying that? All ive said is that they have plenty of recruits, is that not true? Not saying it’s a bad thing, I honestly think they run away with the flag

Are you bi polar? Go back & read your previous post about White Hills having to spend ridiculous cash to be successful.
Which is 100% true. Being over the salary cap and over the points are two completely different things mate.

They are connected in the sense that every recruit carries points & you can only get so many of them.

True they won a flag Roota but it cost them plenty and they haven’t been any good since.

Agree totally mate. Ups, downs and rebuilding is the language most people involved in country footy are indeed well versed.

Just a question as I broaden my knowledge of the game, but Leitchville seems a long way from Heathcote. I wondering if there would be a closer league, or how they ended up there.
