The DNA of TAS should actually include De La Salle, St Columbans, Rosalie (all originals) and St Pauls - so that would include the likes of Pilecki, Jeff Miller, Troy Coker, Rod McCall and Ben Tune.I decided to add the DNA of TAS which enabled me to include a couple of well deserving blokes

Geez Iona would not be happy with that result.I did hear they were missing some lads due to a league final but still with home ground advantage they would be pissed off.
On the flip side congrats to Padua for an opening round 1 win.
That is just hearsay. They have to roll Eddies on Tuesday before backing up 5 days later against Padua. That will be a big ask especially after some have played the last few days in the QSS trial carnival.Hearing rumours out of Villanova College that some players aren’t exactly buying into what the coaches are preaching. Some interesting selection decisions that some players don’t exactly agree with. A massive comeback against Padua will keep everyone happy for now but if any losses build up expect there to be some major issues here.
The MCA 2nds played the MCA 3rds today. For some reason the SPLC 3rds played MCA 4ths. No mention of any SPLC 2nd team.
The AIC comp needs a restructure. Aligning in part with GPS is essential and looking at who will field teams and who can not or does'nt want to. SPLC is in a league of its own being co-ed and better funded than all of the current AIC schools. Time for a put up or go.
Interestingly , Lauries was a member of the GPS up until the 2nd World War but the school ( and I think the Somerville campus ) was taken over by the armed forces during WW2And Lauries could don the black and red or blue and white as a tribute to their big brother christian bro schools.
Lauries was actually forced to leave in 1928 due to a decision by GPS Association which required each school to have a turn wicket and football oval - Lauries at that time owned neither. Conspiracy theorists suggest it was designed to reduce the number of Catholic schoolsInterestingly , Lauries was a member of the GPS up until the 2nd World War but the school ( and I think the Somerville campus ) was taken over by the armed forces during WW2
If anything, Terrace should be donning our colours in tribute

Hearing rumours out of premiership heavyweights Laurie’s in regards to their upcoming round 2 match against Eddies. Hearing Laurie’s are looking to rest several key players to avoid any possible injuries before what they see as a premiership decider the following week against Marist College Ashgrove. Laurie’s see this game as a lesser test and are exploring the possibility of resting several ‘big’ name players so they are ready to go for the title bout.
