Brighton to join SAAFL Div 3 2013

[Lightning McQueen]

If you look at the premiership table in both A & B Grade it is very ordinary

Wow FE, for someone involved in the SAAFL you have an extraordinary interest in the wellbeing of our league...

FWIW, this season has been a much closer affair in the A grade, first time I can remember we have had up to 12 teams vying for the top 8.

How many are serious contenders though Mattee?

How do you judge a serious contender?

I don't have a club in div 3 buddy. I know you did some serious recruiting and do have a few injuries too but you have no depth in your club what so ever which is obviously evident with some of your players playing A Grade footy.. Well keep working hard then, you might need too.[/quote]

My mistake Muppet - it is just that you seem to be quite the expert on Div 3 and our club. Don't know too many clubs with 5-6 first choice A Graders playing B Grade but apparently your club does. Perhaps you would like to name this super club of yours?[/quote]

Im not in the SAAFL mate. Well good luck to you guys over the next couple of weeks in trying to survive.

Refer to the lovely diagram from LGIL. IMO the top 10 could all give it a shake on their day.

Yeh I think we understand thats what he was getting at. Although would have to say extreme long shot that any outside top 4 would win it

It doesn't matter what's right and wrong in regards to relegation promotion etc, the saafl will make up and bend their own rules to make them look even more amateurish than they already do.

Interesting comment about bending rules from a Kilburn person

No Jimmy its not. Name the last rule we bent?

Didn't really bend it, actually broke it in about 1000 pieces or more

Hello everyone, this thread is about BRIGHTON joining the SAAFL, not KILBURN who are already in the SAAFL. Back on topic thanks...

[FOURTH ESTATE]

C'mon Chicky you know Kilburn can't be out of the spotlight in any forum. They need every chance to proclaim their innocence and that they were wronged by the SAAFL?????

[FOURTH ESTATE]

What if Brighton & Edwardstown both decide to jump ship and start in D3 with a 12 team comp and 4 get relegated at the end of the season in each grade down to D7 & D8 could be interesting.

More to come out of this yet!!!! Trust me

Except we haven't done that you silly Internet hack.

[FOURTH ESTATE]

I'ts a joke Joyce!!!!!

So, Brighton votes to leave SFL and return to SAAFL. It then gets presented to the executive committee at its Agm, I presume, and the clubs vote against it and it gets rejected. What then? When Edwardstown left SAAFL the SFL clubs had all sat in a meeting and the majority agreed to vote for it, but why wouldn't they agree to pick up a club of that standing to bolster their league. That was done even before it was put the EFC members. The question begs, does SAAFL really need Brighton and the disruption it will bring to clubs.

A team that can stake a claim of having a strong chance of winning the premiership, it isn't a trick question.

i.e: I think Sydney, Hawthorn, Collingwood and Adelaide are serious contenders for the AFL premiership.

[The Big Shrek]

West Coast and Geelong?

[Lightning McQueen]

West Coast and Geelong?

I don't they're in the SFL, they left when Far Far Away did.

Clubs don't vote on who gets into our league only the League Executive and they place them into the Div that they feel is where they should be.

so if salisbury west have another big incident say like an all in brawl or lets say something hapens in the finals with crowd players etc will that be the final straw for them and bam they gone would clear the way for brighton to slot in nice

seriously its only a matter of time before salisbury west explode either with players of supporters the 2 finals i seen salisbury west in have both ended in fights with players and supporters

[heater31]

That would make the decision where to slot in Brighton a lot easier.....
