wonder if last name is walker ?
IMHO:
1. Toronto (haven't been there for a while but the ground/atmosphere is good and they need the money)
2. Lake Macquarie (played O/35 Finals there last Friday and the surface was good)
3. Valentine (all a bit old but still very functional)
4. The Gardens (as long as it isn't a night game and the dogs are in their kennels ;-)

Rumour has it Cooks Hill have a new coach for next year.
You have heard right. Cookers have a new assistant and a new coach for 23's as well. I don't know who but Blake has names down that he wants to bring to the club and he has been present at out 17's/19's finals series matches as well. Have spoken to him and the assistant and seems like the club has serious ambitions for 2016 and beyond which is great to see. I'm a firm believer that all New-FM teams should be aiming for success and the ones that are right with the status quo (not naming them but two in particular) really will be left behind if they don't pull the finger out.
Pretty sure it was A'town 19's he coached. I'm only new over the last two years into the Cookers camp so don't know Max but have heard the club's very happy to have him back and it'll certainly be good to have a specialist 23's coach rather than the system we had this year with the captain/coach or whatever they had going (bench was always fairly quiet). Hoping he gives the younger guys a chance in 23's. I know the pitch is getting work done on it and the club seem ambitious so definitely agree that Cooks Hill will be a club to watch in 2016 and beyond. I think there'll be more teams fighting for finals next year than there were this season.
