STANDARD OF VARIOUS LEAGUES

[-]

I am interested in hearing peoples views on the standard of some of the comps around sa.

A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, Hills, Southern, Great Southern.

Put them in order.

Hasn't this been done to death?

For the record - I reckon the Riverland Independent competition is the best in the state, followed by Hills Div 2 and Div 7 in the amateurs.

Try the 'Best league/association' thread started by in & under. That has some interesting thoughts for you.

[malleebull]

aus kick/mini league would destroy goody saints in a flash.

[bulldogs]

farmers under 6 team. ist training tonight will take on anyone

[carey]

what would the malle league rate 4 ? 5 ? (in the saafl i mean )

[Big Dog]

I rate the mallee league all lot more than some people do, had the wood over the riverland in the past four or five years i think last year was their first win.

[ROOS]

i think mallee only beat riv once in last 5 years that i know of. riverlands best players never play anyway

[Dogwatcher]

I agree with you Roos - they might have to make themselves available this year though.

The RFL making a very big statement about that sort of thing. And....interleague etc is so important this year that SA Country v SA Under 23 Amateurs is the first game in the RFL program this year....

[ROOS]

i hope they do this year it should be a fair side

[Dan The Man]

Yorke Peninsula Football League would be about Div 5 standard.

[Big Dog]

the YP footy league would belt a div 5 side!

[carey]

the YP footy league would belt a div 5 side!

yeah i would've thought so aswell i would say the cms crows and pasky would go alright in div 3ish then the cougers and teams like that div 4 would be around the mark maybe teams like southern eagles and wallaroo are div 5

[LaughingKookaburra]

Think some people are kidding them selves with the standard of various leagues across south australia.In order are the best few leagues going around.

Amateur Div1,2 (Best by a long streak)
Top 8 in the Southern league/BLG equal second (Although Morphett Vale would be competative in div 1 amateurs,hints why they have won 3 in a row)
Hills Central/Great Southern equal 3rd
The rest would scrap it out for other positions
Fact-the closer the league is to adelaide the better the standard and I think you are selling a few div 5 amateur sides short when you say they would get belted by a Yorke Peninsula team.last years grand finalists Mitcham and Para Hills would do ok,wouldnt win but definatly not get belted.paskeville would not beat North haven in div 4 either.

Also in my opinion the best country league ive seen is just over the border but is full of the hardest and best skilled footballers ive seen (Sunraysia League)

[Dogwatcher]

Sunraysia's pretty good LK.
I've seen some good footballers come from there to play over here.
Also some over rated ones too.

[LaughingKookaburra]

yeah I know mate,theres overated players everywhere though. My old ladys family comes from Lyrup aswell and are huge lions fans.Good win for them yesterday I see.Lippis is a weapon

[Dogwatcher]

What sort of a weapon are you saying Lippis is?

Who's your family there, I might know them?

Was a good win - but Brown's Well are the comp strugglers.

[Hafey]

From games i have witnessed this year :

Southern Football league would equal A2 , Morphies V Port Districts would be a interesting contest ....

Barossa & Gawler league top two sides Freeling & Tanunda would be around top of Div 3 maybe lower Div 2 .

Div 1 would compare with SANFL reserves .

[FOOTYGODS]

i think SANFL reserves would beat all div 1 teams and morphet vale just lost to goodwood by 4 points or something..
