Can get from CLG to Blackwood in 6-7 minutes

CLG should do everyone a favour and join the hills league.

What has happened at Elizabeth? I saw them in 2021 run riot and go through undefeated
Eastern Park recruited all their good players? :P :lol:

I actually have no idea - they lost a few last year and obviously got relegated, and have heard they have lost more this year to Gumeracha? Have dropped their C grade this season as well.

No chop in the Gumeracha movement, just a bunch of C graders.
Problem with Elizabeth is systemic and has been coming for years, mismanagement from the top, no respect for the playing group and no help for the coaching group.
Club held ransome by a c grade nobody major sponsor who pledged to change the world but got to hard and bailed plus a massive **** you from a long serving family at the last AGM.
Sad and shameful so why would you stay as a player, Greenshields did all he could with what he had and the last few A graders leaving was the last straw.

And the fact blokes refused to play the grade they were picked in didn't help.
Caleb getting shafted at the AGM was probably one of the final nails honestly.
Beginning of the cancer 2020 then a dog hit in 2024.

I bet the Playford Council is proud they spent all that money picket fencing Argana Park for it to have nothing more than junior football teams play there.

The Playford council is a joke, wheelchair access for upstairs and a balcony has been requested for decades, not to mention opening up the car parking area so children stop getting hit by vehicles.

The fence looks nice though lol

Trial games do mean very little, but there are signs to look for - and enough to know that FlagRoys will be bloody tough to beat in D6.

Woody Sth i'd expect will play finals in D5.

... and if in doubt.. just remember...

I'm not often wrong. 8) :lol:
Well we have something in common...
I look forward to watching Lee Makris take the piss in div 6 again for the 40th year in a row.

Journalists don't lie.

I stand corrected again.

All the returning players suck anyway.. not sure why the units would have a meltdown although it does seem like the eagles have timed it perfectly to all of a sudden get 2 horrible teams on the park with all their “returning” players and now they can compete for the official title of the worst amateur team in the northern suburbs, clearly not a title the eagles want..

Suck now? Maybe but definitely done more than most in football.
Would be easy just jump off when times get hard and jump back on when it's easy again yeah?

Fair play by Elizabeth yesterday - B grade clearly out of their depth but busted their backsides all day, played the game in the right spirit and took it all in their stride.

A grade result looks heavy, but the Eagles jumped out the blocks early - dominated the midfield of Ingle Farm, high tackle pressure, and had some good leg speed in spots around the ground. Fitness proved to be the biggest killer and they couldn’t sustain the intensity.

With some match fitness I can see them claiming some scalps in the back 9 - in fact could see them being a chance this weekend.

Amazing crowd support also for a club battling - it’s great to see, I know at Ingle Farm when we have been losing (and that’s been a lot) the “faithful” tend to go missing.

If you look at the scores on paper you wouldn't get the true picture of the games, yeah your B grade was a class above but the A grade was a better contest than the scoreline suggested.
Ingle farm lads were humble and respectful although happy to take the piss in the last quarter haha
