It is what makes GSFL so much more of an enjoyable day as it has an entire community/town feel to it.


Conversely, the SFL clubs are going to have far too many juniors, if they're to align with the GSFL.

But would it need 20 clubs to make a two division Fleurieu Football League a viable proposition? Because I’m guessing 3 or 4 SFL clubs would be knocking on the AdFL door if any serious merge discussions commenced.

You're meaning the clubs with the strongest juniors set-up?

If that's the case, there's not a lot of reason to amalgamate, as they're the strongest senior clubs too

1000% agree with this

The junior set up in the SFL sucks too with games played on Sunday etc with no atmosphere, love the full schedule community feel the GSFL has.

Uhh, that's the overflow comp.

SFL Saturdays feature U13, U15, U17.5, Bs and As

Sundays is minis, C Grade, female footy and the "extras", who also head to the SANFL Juniors.

I understand that, I prefer the current set up in the GSFL where Moddies, Minis, JC, SC, B and A all play on the same day.

Its great seeing the Moddies and their parents stick around supporting and following the older grades and I would hate to lose that and have the moddies and minis relegated to a Sunday morning.
