Situation for a possible finals berth is now very simple, beat WYC outright.

Is that saying that beating WYC outright is easy or that it is easy to see that you need an outright to make the finals. [/quote]

Both

[the back pocket]

it will be tough to beat wyc outright AF, from what i saw you were lucky not to lose outright to morphies. three or four dropped catches and a couple of near run-outs. the Roo's fought hard but couldn't get that last wicket. They need to beat Keswick on the weekend and Mitchell park to lose to avoid relegation which would be a shame. one bad year and goodbye whereas other sides fail year in year out. Their sec 2 side has performed well enough winning 4 maybe 5 games and maybe forced to relegation. Think it needs to be addressed sooner rather than later.

[Deep Heat]

MY OPINION ON THE RELEGATION IS IT SHOULD GO TO A CLUB WHO HAS BEEN STRUGGLING FOR 2 TO 3 YEARS TO WIN GAMES NOT TO A CLUB LIKE MORPHETTVILLE WHO COMPETED IN THE GRAND FINAL 2 YEARS AGO AND JUST MISSED OUT ON FINALS BY PERCENTAGE LAST YEAR MORPHIES ON THERE DAY WITH THE SIDE THEY HAVE NOW CAN MATCH IT WITH ANY SIDE THEY HAVE JUST HAD A BAD RUN THIS YEAR PLU THERE SECTION 2 SIDE IS A STRONG SIDE ALSO IF THEY ARE RELEGATED THE ASSOCIATION IS A JOKE .

In section 5 on the weekend our D Grade played North Havens D Grade. After North Haven batted first making 250 we were 4/60 or so when a whirlwind (mini tornado) came up the hill ripped the matting out of the ground and in half. There was no other useable matting at our club and the match was abandoned. The players i have spoken to said that the matting was actually floating around several metres off of the ground. They even found pegs out near the boundary. North Haven were on top in the game and had to win to have any chance of making the finals. Fairly unlucky way to end the season.

I totally agree Morphy Pks have been one of the strongest clubs in Section 1 over the last 6 or so years and shouldn't be penalised for one bad season. Mitchell Pk certainly have to be the ones who are relegated there b grade is in Section 3 already and they are struggling as well. The association would be very brave i think to relegate Morphy Pks if they were to finish bottom. The only way i think that they could is if two 'A' grade sides compete in the section 2 final and they promote both. I still believe it would be harsh for morphys.

yep we nearly lost outright but it wouldn't have hurt our points at all, so we kept going for the win. only the last 2 batsman tried to stick around. morphies probably deserved to take the last wicket on the day and would have given them the points they needed to stay in sect 1 most likely. that 1 wicket could be very important indeed.

[the back pocket]

very important indeed AF. Not sure who mitchell park have got this week but hopefully the boysm can take some confidence from last week and beat Keswick. May be the asca should review thier process regarding relegation. Maybe teams should be judged over two to three years not just one. This would work both ways. For example: Say a section 2 side is constantly finishing in the top 2 every year for a period of 3 years and a sec 1 side is finishing bottom 2 for the same period they would trade places. taht would probally even out the comp. As it is a side has one bad year and is relegated, they win the premership next year and go back up , the side that went up the year before don't get a chance to improve and finish bottom. Could prove detrimental to both clubs. I am interested in the views of all on this subject.

Coro Ramblers were in exactly the same position 4 or 5 years ago when we lost 3 or 4 players from A Grade and we finished bottom. We went to the association AGM to plead our case to not go down and we stayed, but only because Panorama (who won section 2) didn't want to come back up (and look how they've kept falling away). 2 seasons later we finish the minor round on top. Can all turn around so quickly. South Road have done very well to build their stocks back up after being relegated several years ago. Warradale have the same challenge.

Having said that, I think there is no other way than for top of section 2 to replace bottom of section 1 unless the section 2 club has decent reasons for not wanting to come up or is a B side for a team in section 1. Promotes a higher standard competition. Unlucky for Morphies that in a bad year for them that a team likely to win sect 2 will be the clubs 'A' team.

A club can't be relegated if their B grade is in Section 2, unless there B grade is near the bottom
Morphy's will not be relegated regardless of them finishing bottom

[Amateur Footy]

Is that a fact? I'd have thought both teams would go down.

I heard that rumour last night at the Pub Booney, Shrek was looking forward to it.

[swingman151]

All you lot are talking garbage
If Morphies finish bottom end of story they get RELEGATED
Who gives a turkey players leave a club and for some other reasons it goes from chocs to boiled lollies very quickly
Ramblers did not quite a few years ago because the pussies who went top in div 2 sooked and did not want to go up and by the way they are still there

[swingman151]

AM sorry did not read what you wrote before i commented

but you are 100% correct

So all you other dingbats shift the trees so you can see the forest

[wycbloods]

It wasn't that long ago that Glenelg ANA went top twice in a row then finished bottom the following year and there is no way that they deserved to get relegated and they didn't. I do believe that it can't be taken on one year alone.

Try not to bowl today mate, maybe you shouldnt bat either...and see if you can arrange a sub fielder early on. Follow this advice and you should pull up fine.
No Gaurantees ofcourse.

[Deep Heat]

Swingman wow what an opinion " If morphies finish bottom they should be relegated end of story " Your obviously have no idea how can a side that has been competitive with every a grade side for the last ten years be relegated because of 1 bad season have a look at mitchell park who have struggled for years morphettville beat them this year and every year so why the **** wouldn they go down ???????????????????

[bazza1]

Hey Joe if your so concerned, why arent you still playing with morphies then??

[Graham]

Whats the go with 4 forfeits in Section 7. Only 1 match played

[Amateur Footy]

Perhaps Clipsal 500 has something to do with it. Coro Ramblers had to forfeit their section 7 side after having a few left over the game before.
