Whats going on here :shock:

Flaggies been taking the piss all year, flies no chance

Happy valley might be more of a chance, knocked off Flagstaff on their home deck.

Mostly a joke but would be good to see some change in the GF teams.

Valleys have to get past Porties first, they've won comfortably both times this year. Kirk out for that Valleys game was a huge hole, he gives their back half so much structure, same with Shearer & M. Johnson on ball. Sproule ended up chasing kicks on the wing and down back last week as a result of lining up against Kirk.

Can any Porties supporters tell me why Jarman played Steele in the back pocket? The guy is brilliant on the ball and going forward, why on earth would you throw him down back?


No porties supporter by any means but I was sitting close to the interchange bench and the profanities coming from Jarman regarding Steele not getting much of the ball in the first half would be a good indication on why he was chucked down back so early to try and get a touch of the football

Credit given when credits due. Morphett vale played out of their skins and used their ground to their advantage well on the weekend. But what could be a blessing in disguise coming up to finals, the young lads know that all 21 need to play at 100% to get the job done as any team can win on the day. Its set to be a cracking match vs valley

Big sling tackle on one of the smallest blokes on the field in front of the umpire, I doubt itll be worth the appeal

Who would Port Noarlunga be playing in the first finals, Sproule will miss that if its 2 weeks.

Depending on results this weekend, it will be either Flaggies or Reynella. If they beat Reynella this weekend they'll play them again the following week in the first week of finals. But if Reynella win, Flaggies.

The young Christies boys have been showing a lot more promise and fight compared to last year, last few games have been great to watch as they’re now starting to click together. This week vs ironbank will be a great game and will more than likely decide on how the rest of this year may look for them if a finals spot can be taken

Definitely outplayed by the better team on the day. Unfortunately a couple more injuries from the day for both sides. Hoping Theraldson didnt do what looked like his ACL in a marking contest. Can anyone confirm?

Spirits are still high with the saints. Moving onto another crucial game against the Vikings.

Saints Vikings lived up to the battle. Beach holding on by 3 points. Great game to watch

Righto, enough kicking teams when they're down.

Anyone give Valleys a chance against the WIneflies this weekend? Was a shellacking by the Flies in round 3, but only a 3 point game last time they met in round 12. Interesting that game was on the bigger deck at Valleys too, should suit them this weekend at Porties.


Valleys definitely can give them a shake. The younger legs might be good enough to out do reynella this week. Should be a great game.

All reports that 2025 for emus will be a social rebuild with 2026 a hard push for contention again.

I Hear Ben Tate returning to Happy Valley this year after a long stint at Brighton

Christies have had great numbers throughout preseason with new recruits not advertised yet.

Another good day of football weather wise it seems. I'll get my tips in -

Saints vs wineflies - Going to be a real test. Winies havent really adapted to the bigger oval in the past with slow starts - nearly being their downfall, And with Saints having some key INS this week. I think the Saints might just get them done for the first home game of the year.

Ironbank vs Cockledivers - Cant see porties losing this. Too much firepower with Sproule.

Vikings vs Emus - Vikings to wipe the floor with the emus.

Falcons vs Sharks - Again, Falcons to wipe the floor with the sharks

Cove vs Shoes - If shoes keep their A grade players in the B grade for another week cove will beat them easy. But if they bring them back up - ie victor robertson up forward and Luke Ross to pinch hit in the ruck will be a close game - either way Cobras to win

Flaggies easy over Ironbank
Very 50/50 on this game, new recruits at cove vs the younger lads at christies. Hoping the beach get over the line
Porties easily over Sharks
Valleys should outrun the shoes
Reynella to take the piss and win by 30goals vs emus

Hopefully with the return of the 2 captains this week, along with a couple of other injured players, christies return to being the competitive team to play against. And most importantly stay in the hunt for finals

Big game at Bice this weekend saints vs cobras. Will make the saints a strong case for finals if they pull off the win

Go beachiesssss

Still Valleys to lose at the end of the day, but I do silently hope Flaggies somehow find a way over Porties. Just to knock them down a peg

SFL umpiring has to be up there with worst in the state im sure of it

Jars stepped down on air today

Great ressies pickup if true

Lachie Murphy signed to porties. Released today

“The Ironbank Football Club is excited to welcome two new signings for the upcoming season — Luke Watson and Matt Beinke.

Luke joins us from Meadows as a Mail Medal winner and proven senior footballer, with Southern Zone interleague representative honours. Widely regarded as one of the competition’s most consistent performers, he brings experience, competitiveness and a strong team-first mindset. We’re looking forward to the impact he’ll have both on and off the field.

Matt Beinke adds some serious height and versatility to the group at 6’5”. Best known for his ruck work and strong contested marking, Matt is a former A Grade Best & Fairest winner at Aldinga and has played association football across both the Southern and Hills leagues. We’re excited to have him on board for 2026 and to see the experience he brings to the playing group.

Welcome to Ironbank, Luke and Matt ”

From the Ironbank Facebook page.

So in just assuming Noarlunga wont field a senior side by round 1, would that mean christies would cop a forfeit round 1 giving noarlunga "more time to recruit off facebook" or would it be a newly instated bye round replacing each teams would be game against the shoes?

BZT & SPP on their socials, appealing for players whilst doing a footy clinic

You would hope they've been given a deadline, and if they fail to meet that, it's a bye & nine team comp.

However, this is the SFL and strategic decisions ain't their strong suit...

When the Shoes pulled their U17 teams in 2022 & 2023, it was done after the season started

Hearing that the Shoes are only nominating a B grade, and juniors. I guess rules change but I always thought you had to fill an A grade as your first senior side....

What an absolute joke that is. The fact of the matter if they are just scraping a B grade side together they will finish bottom. May as well play them in the A grade and have the other grades start a little later to cover the B grade match. And still finish bottom in the A grade. At the end of the day. Poor planning of the future of the club a decade ago has caused this. Now eat that humble pie and field the A grade side.
