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)

Tiller was my coach, good to see young tiller getting a few games in the afl, I remember him as a bubs

then had applegarth and anderson

and hopefully hanby gets the south captaincey, great bloke trained with him a fair bit.

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.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
