SA Footy

Can anyone fill me in on what this comp is like, i have just been asked to play in a side and thought i would see if anyone could fill me in on it a bit more.

We have a team, it's pretty relaxed, soft in fact but good for a kick and a catch (sometimes). It has some modified rules to reduce the chance of injury, some teams with blokes that still play on Saturdays play a bit harder than others, particularly those with more blokes closer to 50 than 35.
Games are roughly every two weeks so you get a chance to recover.

A mate of mine plays and loves it. He's been trying to get me to play. Dunno whether my back will hold up to the rigours.

The ground just seems to get further away each year.

I will be making my Over 35's debut this year, and im really looking forward to it. The idea of 2 weeks between games is a very attractive prospect, i will definately need that time to recover !

We have Gawler Districts playing outta Argana Park. The skill level is pretty good, just in slow motion

any teams down south?

wests - out of Flinders Park
Think there is another new club this year as well - CBC??

ive seen these games played and i must say as sad as it sounds i'm 32 and really looking forward to playing in it! not long to go lol they have a great time especially when the final siren goes lol great games to watch.

Having watched quite a few of the Old Fart games at Rosewater, and now that I qualify I've been thinking about having a kick this year.

Then my groin and knees remind me that I should stay well away....

Give it a rest Tubbs, the only over 35 thing you can handle nowadays is Super Dry stubbies per day.
If you play, there will be a huge crowd watching the first game let me tell ya. Moe & MadRooster would rally the troups to watch you last the first 10 minutes before succumbing to injury to some muscle never heard of.

Nowhere near enough smilies for this idea.
