HFL Division 1 (Central)

[Bat Pad]

I think it's fair. TV should also have some room with a few departures...

Think most of their departures are 0 pointers. Still if they lose any of their league players it will cost them 4 to replace instead of 2 to keep.

Since when has all these point allocations been passed at a meeting or is someone just making these up? Also surely TV will get the same points as the lower clubs as they have come up from an inferior competition or has this points system been introduced by the heavy weights of div. 1 who think that they are so much better than the stronger div 2 clubs and are a little scared with TV coming up and know their recruiting potential

Are you saying TV are only as good as Lobethal or Birdwood? If they are doesn't say much for country div. However I disagree, they are better than those sides and have been given the points accordingly. Nothing to do with anyone being scared.

Just wondering if anyone on here knows Shane Collins? I know he was an assistant at North Adelaide last year. Anyone know what he is up to this year? What is he like as a coach?

Wasn't he coach at Onkas a couple of years ago??

I believe he had 2 cracks at coaching Onkas as he is home grown there (i believe he won a jnr mail medla there). He coached Onkas under 17's, A Grade and the HFL u17's but ended up finishing on a low note at Onkas as he was pretty well disgraced in the league due to his horrifying behaviour on the side lines, mostly directed at the umps

Your club should know plenty about clowns on the sideline as your A grade runner is the biggest joke in the HFL, nothing short of an embarrasment to Mt. Barker.
I find Shane to be a nice guy and must be respected in the coaching fraternity to be assistant at SANFL level.

By the way bad luck last Saturday, but I was convinced you would fall at the last hurdle and you did.

Surely you must be joking. The points system has been implemented by the Community Football Board and will be rolled out across the State. To say Central Div clubs are scared of TV is the true comedy behind your post, I'm still laughing. If your that good why don't you ask for the minimum 10 points but then you say in the same breath you want the maximum 15 points. I'm a little confused but laughing nonetheless. Hilarious... More posts please.

Afterthesiren you might be able to answer my question about the under 18 rumour.

is there any truth that the change could go ahead

I believe this issue has been dealt with by the Junior delegates - the age structure has been put in place and was to run for a period (4 or 5 yrs I think) before the discussion was opened up to any possible changes.

Part of the problem with moving to 18's is more to do with the bottom end of that comp ie those kids coming from 15's, the age difference when going to 18's would be 3 yrs instead of 2, as is the case with the rest of the junior age structure. Not to mention the kids filling in for their senior colts team each week, these kids are still U15 and some even U/14 in some cases. (This happens as a matter of routine in the Country div.) These guys would then be playing against some very big kids - you only need to look at Hahndorf and Blackwood in the G/F to see that these guys are big!!

I agree it is a big jump, but i think it would be better to change it to tie in with the sanfl comp, then maybe change 15's to 16's 13's to 14's etc.

Reffering to that also, there was previously at 3 year gap when the junior colts was 14.5

This situation is not as easy as you might think to resolve, if you do revert the ages to even numbers ie 12's, 14', 16's and 18's - the problem then occurs at the U12's, because kids playing at this age are still primary school students (ie Year 7) - at this year level of school you are now finding many kids are actually 13 yrs old, so by definition they would have to play U14's, this creates a problem because kids playing at that level are secondary students, which means these 13 yr olds don't end up playing with their (primary) school mates. Not much of a big deal you'd think, but I think you'll find that a lot then decide they don't want to play at all and fall out of the game.

The HFL has had U17.5 for a number of years, working very well, by keeping those kids not quite ready for senior footy, in the junior ranks. If it's not broke don't fix it.

If TV get the full 15 points or more they WILL scare Central Teams with one mans recruiting potential. With 15 points they will NOT finish in the bottom half.

[pushing forward]

Birdwood will be about as good as what they were when they left, about 5th. A lot of money spent for no reward Maghay getting 650 a game and will burn the club in a heart beat. Not the sort of bloke i would want at the club. Also offered P James from Kersbrook around the same but surely he wouldn't play for a club that he hates!

Yeah an extra 3 point player is going to a make them a force. Those div 4 players are genuine superstars. You would lose a battle of wits with a door knob Jugs.

Your a knob mate, Ryan McGahey is a superstar bloke and a gun footballer! Don't bag players if you don't know them. And 650 for a young ex-sanfl player, thats cheap!

I will apologise Lebron probably shouldn't get on the computer after drinking all day. I will say that i will enjoy watching Birdwood struggle in country div next year.

Agree with ATS, that post contradicted itself beautifully.
And the crack at the "heavyweights of div 1" - Div 1 clubs ARE stronger than div 2 clubs. That's why it USED to be called 'Div 1'. But if you think it's such an attitude problem, don't come to the TV games and watch a better quality opponent.

You could always go back and delete the post if your apology is worth anything.

As a great SAFooty poster would say, put a cork in it BatPad. If you think TV are going to recruit Div 4 Players for their assault on Central Div, you're either deluded, blind or on some medication that is messing with your brain. They will be strong and will be too good for you're old club.

I was still a little tanked when I wrote that, and I do not doubt they will not chase div 4 players. But that extra 3 points wont make much difference, my point being that if they arent going to make the top half of the comp with 12 they wont make it with 15. The 3 would only make a difference if they were already up to say Mt Barker/Uraidla standard and would get them over the line for a flag. And they are nowhere near that.

Has Bridgewater got a coach yet?

Maybe they would be looking for someone with the extra experience of also fence repairer??

[Footy Warrior]

TV would want to keep their list, but speculation around is that Mark Clayton has retired, Deke Smith probably also retired and Josh Hill elsewhere. That would seriously hurt their points allocation as they haven't got any 'Home Grown' talent to test Central Clubs.
