matt reid - bph , nathan robertson - bph ( old man is legend at north )
cal bartlett - north , blake hutchinson - north,

lookin 4wd to seein hutchy bak on the park - have missed his talent
north boys look a bit better this year and should be able to field a full team of proper age kids not topping up with the next age down as they did last year in 18s and 16s

Assuming Cal and Hutchy are not the duds? Bartlett playing Falcons so not sure how many games at north he will get.

Werribee Centrals are a forced to be reckoned with this year with huge signings over the off season headed by noa fonua, matty de luca and boofa... also the signing of key power forward dean cachia who has started the season well with 6 on the weekend

Also rumours are about that a star rugby league player by the name of mitty fukn V will b pullin the boots on for werribee centrals as another one of centrals pivitol key power houses!!!!!! who has been performing strongly at the gym... this is a 110kg 2.8sec 20m sprinter... unbelievable physique....

Lachie went to inverleigh last year when winch couldn't get an under 16 side. A few of the inver 18s are playing seniors i think. Have picked up a few boys who are under 18 and a half. Still have Kyle Gillett to come back from a broken ankle who kicked 70 goals in 14 games in under 16s 2 years ago.
