SAAFL Div 1 2008

[Shirtfront]

Well, its all over for us. Mathematically still a chance on Saturday but the loss and Rocs win put an end to that. Its been a super tough year, but can only hope that all the young kids that were blooded get hungry for another taste of Div 1 footy and we can bounce back next year. Trying to keep the team together will be tough. Hopefully finish off with a win against Rocs and give us supporters something to cheer about. Must say that we haven't received too much flack for going to Div 2. Goodies supporters gave a little but there is a bit of respect around which we have appreciated. That and the fact we beat Gaza who would usually be the ones to rub it in.

What's going on with the Broadview Bs?

Looks like the glory days of the inner north clubs is well and truly over. Gaza seem to be on the way out too. I wonder whether this is because of the changig demographic in these areas.

Are TTG a chance of beating Salis. Nth on the weekend? Wouldn't it be an all time choke for Gaza not even to make the 5 after being where they were halfway through the year.

Yep, no numbers to call on. Juniors are coming through but are a few years away due to us not having a great junior program about 5 years ago, but at the same time, its not a young area around us so we are strugglin to pull these kids to eventually become 100 gamers. Hopefully the demise of the under 17 / 19's will help out the Amatuer clubs in general. Our B grade has been made up of about 7 blokes of B grade standard, filled in with our C1 team, which is the SA deaf community team, and some under 18's. Not a good situation to be in.

[The Big Shrek]

Tough situation to be in with the B grade. Without lots of juniors coming through improving the standard of a B grade team must be one of the hardest things to do in football. It's not as if you can recruit like an A grade side would.

I've seen the Auskick at Broadies on Friday nights and hopefully those numbers will keep your club strong in future years. Look forward to hopefully playing you guys in div 2 next year.

Ofcourse!! Be good to rekindle the rivarly, always plenty riding on those games, plus we know where your oval is, be hitting the Navman next year to work out where all the ovals are!

Hey Shirtfront whats your connection at Broadies?

Broadies is only an 8 minute jog from my house so it would be good for me too. I've only played you guys once in a trial in 2004 but Danny Ryan had us fired up to play against you.

TBS, you're obviously fairly confident of being in Div 2 next season. where does that leave East. Park, Flinders Park etc?

Who will miss the boat?

[The Big Shrek]

I did say hopefully in the original post. Was trying to avoid looking over-confident.

However, if you finish third and you don't believe you will make the grand final you are in the wrong sport.

Long time supporter of the club and the bar.

having the u17/19s out will help broadview, i think they have a fair few u17/19 North adelaide players who played some matches this year but i think their B grade will still struggle next year

Hey Big Shrek, How did you hear about what happened at training last week with Seelander.

Hey Fourth Estate, why don't you tell us who you are? You're obviously scouting out how people get their hands on Broadview info, what's your connection there?

Don't act like you could jog for 8 minutes....you'd be lucky to walk for eight minutes without havin a breather...

Are any of the Div 1 finals being played at Thebarton Oval other then the GF?
