Hulls 9
Alridge 23

Hullsy and Aldridge are definantly the two stand outs.

Peacy is right up there to!

two top class keepers are in div 3....... dont think aldridge from what ive seen would be worthy of cleaning the boots of the ppt keeper...look outside the box...div 1 isnt the be all....

Sean Piddington from the Grove has done very well only 8 goals so far

THE BEST KEEPERS ARE IN DIV 1 DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY SHOT STOP THE BEST IN AMATEUR LEAGUE

didnt expect to be metioned with this one but oldredback for sure

no worries mers haha

my thoughts would be Hulls, aldridge and farm keeper looks quality oh and when i lose some more kilos look out amateur league

Chestnut · Post by **Chestnut** » Mon Jul 23, 2007 9:07 am

last year i would have said Andy Carman for the 1st half of the year. Class of his own, Scalzi also from Bosa

Rexie · Post by **Rexie** » Mon Jul 23, 2007 9:18 am

Halsey would be up there, as with peacy and aldrige.

Looking at the Ressies league Big Azz for sure! Im sure many Div 1 first teams would love to have him between the posts.

Is Sean Piddington still putting on the gloves, that is great to hear!

Rob Greenwood from Farm is having a great year, recruirted from Para Hills...

ben aldridge by a country mile. anyone who wants to argue should go and talk to the super league clubs who were fighting for his signature at the start of the year. a good keeper doesnt just stop shots, he organises the players in front of him, benny is a great organiser.

i saw a couple of the Ingle Farm friendlyes, and he is easily the best keeper I have seen in the amatuers, made a couple of ammazing stops against West Beach in a friendly.

Forgot to mention this in my previuos post....

Last year, as a few people have mentioned, can go past Andy Allen, class act in goals, one of the longest standing keepers in SA, through numerous leagues, and a great bloke!

I may be wrong but I reckon Hullsy was best and fairest for the reserves last year as well - playing on the pitch. The lad is pretty versatile and sometimes it can be like having an extra sweeper back there. Very quick off the mark and will sacrifice the body as well. Which he did a couple of times against PHW...

The State coach was down watching the Lion v Farm game yday & i heard he definately penciled the keeper Greenwood down, he is a class act probably our best pick up this season along with Donovan...

How many goals you concede is a good measure of a keeper ( and the team as a whole )but it isn't the only parameter to judge a keepeer by.
Keeping goal is about stopping the opposition scoring, good positioning, organising your defense such that you have less shots to stop and distributing the ball accurately to your own team.
A goalkeeper is not just the last line of defense he is the first line of attack.
However, it seems that Hullsy has pretty much all of the above covered, and as mentioned by Legga he is a useful on-field player as well.
So at the moment I would think he has the No.1 No.1 in the bag.
