I know we have an existing AFL thread but a new season begins this weekend so I thought a new thread would be appropriate.

Once the Mickey Mouse Cup (MMC) is over the real stuff will begin. It should be a good season for Crows' supporters but not so good for the cross town rivals in teal. At least they now have a proper footy guernsey. However, every season one team vastly improves, one team dramatically drops, some disappoint, some give hope and only one ultimately wins. What are your predictions?

At this early preseason stage without really paying any attention to what has happened regarding transfers and injuries I believe the cup will be fought between Geelong, St Kilda, the Western Bulldogs, Adelaide with the Lions, Collingwood and Hawthorn a rung below. But that is largely based on last years' form and as I have already stated every season the ladder changes.

Once again I will be participating in Dream Team & Super Coach competitions which are free to enter and have some good prizes on offer. PM me if you are interested in playing. It would be nice to have an SAUSA league with bragging rights at stake.

GO CROWS!

I'm hoping the mighty sainters make a good go of it again this year, although it will be difficult getting excited with a win, knowing losing last years premiership was only the third loss for the year. Pretty ghey.

Ohh man, I was hoping we would continue with the old thread as it had a lot of good reference on there that will now be lost. :(

Anyway, for a minute there I thought you were referring to actually forming an SAU-SA Footy Team....but who would we play?? maybe ns.com :laugh::(

I can't run for as long as I used to so midfield would be out, as a defender I give away too many frees (but get a lot of satisfaction doing it) and as a key forward, you better hit me on the chest cause I refuse to crumb (Fev Syndrome).....feel free to hang off me but only if you've never seen what happened to Peter Caven when Plugga was a Saint :stupid:

true lovers of footy wouldn't want the magpies to dissolve...even if you hate them

someone in the paper said it'd be like Star Wars without Darth Vader........you'd have no one to hate anymore.

Norwood supporters would get bored......even Aishy (who detests Port) told me it'd be a shame if they were no more

Hopefully Hawthawn will do better this year and Brisbane will definetly be a team to look out for. I would say top 4 will be Geelong, Saints, Adelaide and Brisbane. Would be good to see Fremantle win a few more games then last year but I doubt it with so many young players coming in.... :-(

Waiting 5 minutes to send PMs is annoying so I'll post the league details here:

DT league name: SAU-SA. Code: 876845

SC league name: SAUSA. Code: 158158

My team is called Oranges@Halftime.

Good luck.

In walks the roving ruckman / centre-half forward

:sick:

Sled, you me and the footy, would be a good contest (bar the height difference, lol)

used to be with south adelaide, one day many moons ago i had a chance to go the bigtime. took a long time to get over the bitterness of my knee-failure(s)

trained 5x week plus individual gym/run sessions, 2 or 3 games a weekend, got big at the gym and would cover 100km a week.

knees were already knackerd and I screwed them into the ground, always dislocating and continuing on

go you panthers & crows!

definately need port power magies in sanfl and crows with sanfl affliliate team (ie reserves)

If only we could all take away the years and injuries from our bodies. I used to be a handy HBF/BP back in the day. Didn't have a penetrating kick and wasn't the cleanest of marks but once the ball hit the ground I was in my element. Was really good at contested footy and reading the play. Only played school boy level although did play against Ben Hart, Nick Holland, Seb Parker (who was drafted in the initial Crows' squad but did his knee in a staff v PACOC basketball match prior to the 1991 pre-season) and bunch of guys that made in onto AFL or SANFL lists but didn't get a game.

As a Glenelg supporter the SANFL needs the PAMFC. Also I wouldn't want the mantle of Most Successful Club to go to a Victorian club. So... and this is hard to say... 'Save the Magpies'. Plus I really hate Collingwood so having a SANFL Magpies team that is older and more successful is a needle in Fat Ed's spine, which I love!

Very good call Dave!

It's not rocket science.....just common sense!

With the help of Pickard, hopefully the Power can purchase the Prince of Wales and keep it in the family.

I've even heard talk of getting the PA Magpies heritage listed, lol.....then no one can touch them and the greedy Leigh Wicker can give a little back to the SA teams.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
