Three of the big guns for 2015 over 35's were all seen at the Cox plate carnival. Penno, Ravens and the STA AA1 team that is making the step up to Over 35's should make the comp a beauty. Add into the equation redbacks and hunters hill and Epping Eastwood returning and 6 quality sides should fight out the title. Penno clear favourites with recruitment of Boz and Chris gio who was seen at the races being handed his new strip.

Still one of the better gks in the competition at 40.
Yes, it was good to see 3 old fellas teams down at the Valley on Saturday, but probably more enlightening, was the unanimous dislike for 'Chris' brother'. Call it ignorance, but I thought it was just the PEN boys that thought 'Chris' brother' was a serial pest. Not the case!
Mind you, it was rather amusing seeing a 57 year old in a 12 yr old girl's cardigan, continually run back and forth between the 3 teams, annoying all and sundry with his incessant gibber. In fact, such was his persistence, the oldest Gio brother started a heated bidding war for his services in season 2015.
At last count, the RAV boys offered us $4K to take him, STA said they'd match that but they would need it confirmed in writing, but I think we had the last say on the negotiation, offering either of them $10K to take him next year. A bargain in the grand scheme of things.

Love you too Nathan's brother.
He has strong ties to his brother Richo, plus he wants to test himself against one of the premier keepers in the O35s comp.....that said I will be seeing if he wants to join the Ravens rather than having to carry his brother at Penno.

We have signed him purely to take penalties as Morro has lost confidence after last year at Peel.

I spoke to Mick from STA at Moonee Valley on Cox plate day and he confirmed with a touch of confidence that they were taking our silverware in 2015. Our recruiting drive has begun to compete with the younger legs that they have to offer.
