Better still move game times forward by 15min - 10am, 12pm, 2pm and be finished by 4pm.

Seen much worse shenanigans with no time on, ie the ball that gets booted over the road and the home team suddenly cannot find a replacement, the player that goes down with a supposed life threatening injury only to jump up and start celebrating when the siren goes... etc

D7 (previously) can hardly be called “A grade footy”, especially with club C/D grades competing.
Sides like Flinders Uni, TTG, Golden Grove, Mitchell Park and then past seasons North Pines, Central United are not/have not been A Grade standard.
Although OSB, Marion & heavy recruiting at Houghton, Mawson Lakes has clearly improved the standard massively this year.

TTG and GG are not A grade sides thats the problem - we are a C and D grade group. I know that the guys in the C grade really feel the difference in the lengths of games and struggle towards the end of the game. Last home game the quarters went about 30 minutes each. We just never trained for that.

You're B grade should win the D7R comp pretty comfortably from what I saw Saturday. Well skilled and a lot of smart footballers, smacked us all over the park. Beers always taste better after a big win!

To be honest i think we have a carton and half of beers left that we put aside for you blokes as i think there was only 1 A grader who came in after the match.
Was a great day at Houghton with a fair crowd there, the kids game between the two games was a excellent idea.

Had we known we would have been in Div 7 earlier we would have had to change our approach in an attempt to be fitter. We simply don't have the talent our fitness to compete with these sides, its not an excuse its just the way it is. No science involved in that just probably should have done more.

Did you guys have any say in being put in Div 7?
Thought it was a bit unfair putting you guys in there before the Div 1 clubs with D grades such as PAOC, ROCS and Payneham. Did those clubs request not to be in Div 7? I work with a Sparkie that plays in your C grade and we've talked footy and about you guys playing Div 7. He wasn't sure if your club had any say in being put in Div 7.

Hard to believe that the league would make you play D7 if your committee voted no to.TEX07 wrote:The Dark Knight wrote:TEX07 wrote:What i meant was, we were training all pre-season to play in C2 and C6.

In the end we didnt but there was reluctance from us to play triple headers with our A and B grade based on support staff so it was taken out of our hands. We certainly didnt request it. I can see why we were placed there but we didnt want it. It is what it is and we are not always blown out of the park in the D grade and the C grade has played TTG, Lonsdale, Marion, St Pauls and Houghton first 5 rounds so pretty tough draw to begin with.
