Re: SAAFL Division 4 2014

Makes absolutely no sense.
If BL have enough for 2 sides they should not go down to Div 5.
Effectively they have gone from Div 3 to Div 5.
I hope there are no red faces come August/September at Thebby at least we know 2 that won't.

Agree with this. Its been ok the last couple of years for Abahma's to spend and recruit from other clubs and soon as they get hit they cry to the league who give them what they want. How about doing it tough like other clubs have in the past and are currently. They get 2 sides together they should be where they are meant to be and not in Div5.

Re: SAAFL Division 3 2014

We have been informed that even if Kilburn go down to one side, their A Grade will still be in D3 and D3R would have the bye, but Kilburn have reassured the league they plan on having both.

Not sure if the staying in D3 idea is Kilburn's choice, or if the league can't fit them into any of the C grade comps, but if it is Kilburn's call, kudos to them.
Bit more ballsey than Brahma Lodge.

Re: SAAFL division 5 2014

Its a promotion relegation system that shouldn't change. If you cant field 2 sides then you go to the Cgrade comp with one side like we did in early 2000s and rebuild from there or you have a crack at the grade you are meant to be in like Kilburn have done. Whether its 50 goals or 10 goals you are where you should be. In my opinion its farcical this happened.

Leadership group meeting with the coach and also A grade squad meeting followed by all team general meeting maybe

seems normal to me
:? That's normal? Seems a bit much to me.

I'm sure there is a fair reason why they are taking this course of action - if in fact it is even happening that is.. Who are we to judge them on the way they go about their business preparing between games?

Re: SAAFL division 6 2014

Any one from Mawson Lakes how is the lad from the Bgrade that was taken in an ambulance?

Arch44 i know you blokes got a bit confused during cricket season with sitting where the home side sits, but didnt know that this flowed onto football season and you need to warm up at the home teams end?

You blokes got something about respecting home teams or something lol

:lol: It was entertaining wasn't it? Nah wasn't a deliberate act just the way it panned out . You blokes get the points that's what really matters.

I heard that is was a accidednt during the first week of the cricket final but when u blokes camped out the following week to do it again i thought something as up. Like you say it is a pisser and made me laugh when both teams where side by side lol

Gotta say that was my 1st trip to Rose Pk for cricket so was unaware of anything really, wasn't as funny as the scorers not meeting half way though. :lol:

Re: SAAFL division 6 2014

Mawson Lakes (7th) v Lockleys (5th)
Match of the round for me. Couple of interesting clashes between the top 4 sides this week, but with Fitzroy and Central United having matches they should win comfortably, it adds to the enormity of the outcome of this match.

Mawson Lakes a pre-season favourite amongst a lot of people have struggled so far - granted they have played the top sides - but they quickly need to turn it around. Travis Uern going down on the weekend will hurt them, hopefully he isnt far off a return.

Lockleys have struggled for consistency so far since losing a few of their better players over summer. They have an opportunity to consolidate their position in the 5 if they can win, and are a tougher unit at home, but should they lose, they will likely be leap frogged by Fitzroy and suddenly only be a game ahead of Lakes and Units.
You obsessed with Mawson Lakes or what??

Rosewater (1st) v Ingle Farm (2nd)......Pretty sure this is your Match of the Round :roll:
Agree with Riddler 1v2 qualifies as match of the round.

Gents I would hate to point the obvious but clearly Phantom is using the line 'Flying under the radar' and putting it in to practice as opposed to posting it on facebook. Ingle farm are clearly going along as well as anyone in the comp sitting 2nd clearly states that BUT I still cant see anyone getting over the top of Rosewater I guess the margin Saturday will determine how far or close the Farmers are.........

Surely Writey gets a game this week 2 bags in a row!
Apparently margin doesn't mean much but shots on goal does.....

While I don't have the skills to have the option to play in a league beneath my ability. Why play with a bunch of people you don't know, may not like or get along with when you can play with friends, celebrate with friends etc?

Playing with friends is the only reason i still strap the boots on Thursdays and Saturdays.

Do you play for a club or your mates?

Re: Ch9 AFL Division 6 - 2015

Yeah fair enough,

Principally, my key points are:

1. The standard of umpiring in the SAAFL is not good enough - for a myriad of reasons - and should be improved
2. They are nowhere near accountable enough for poor decisions and performances
3. We have developed a culture of over protectionism of umpires - which causes a myriad of problems and limits our ability to address #1.
4. Umpires discussing teams and their reputations with a predetermined course of action is an abject disgrace - but a long held suspicion.

I think you like the word myriad.

Re: Ch9 AFL Division 6 - 2015

I think they should still be entitled to recognise their history and should do so. A 're-branding' is a good idea though, new guernsey, new mascot, maybe new colours.


I don't disagree, not one bit.

Um what have Mawson Lakes done wrong in this whole situation to have to look at changing there jumpers, colours and mascot?
Just drop all there history to satisfy the new St Paul's team?
League going to pay for this whole re branding you are mentioning as in the end they accepted this new team?

Nobody suggesting you've done anything wrong. It's working on the idea of building a stronger suburban identity.
I wouldn't be changing a thing Informer. Suburban Identity is already there I would have thought in the name "Mawson Lakes"

Arch, I'd understand if you were bitching because you got one less home game to everyone else, or even if you had to play your last 9 games away even but unless you can come up with solution that is going to suit everyone, you need to accept it for what it is.

SOoking about it isn't going to change anything.
