Be bold FE and give us your predictions!

don't be shy!!!

Maybe North Pines I believe they forfeited their B grade today not a good start to the season if it is true.
Not enough players or clearances not through in time could be the reason.

The Amateur league seriously needs to do something here the C divisions is an absolute farce with the amount of forfeits and byes across the divisions and it's now filtering into Div 7.

[FOURTH ESTATE]

Until the club delegates over rule the CEO's wishes where C grades are matched with the A grade sides eg:

D1-C1

D2 - C2 Etc

We will avoid this problem with clubs being graded on talent. One only has to look at the results from yesterday in C grade comps to realise this. Premierships sides from the previous year are either staying in the same comp or being relegated or sides that finished bottom the previous year being put up a division due to thier A grade winning the Grand Final.

Flinders Park have won the last 2 C2 flags and have been relegated to C3 and blew Mitcham out of the water 26.15 to 2.5
If clubs want to play triple headers then this will contuinue to happen. Triple headers may be great but at what expense to other clubs and the league.

As I have said before some clubs are not sustainable and will fall over before the seasons end.

If results from yesterday are a guide Flinders Uni are in huge trouble with a score of 1.11 to 44.37 is not the way to start the season

Until clubs are matched up on the basis of promtion and relegation in the C Grade comp this will continue to happen.

It's up to us and our club delegates to change this rule. Speak to your club delegates and get them to remove this rule next year.

Is it possible for the triple headers to remain without having to play all three games against the same club? Eg A's and B's remain as is, C's play the early game against someone else. Or would this be a programming nightmare?

Good riddance to the both of em. Clubs full of scumbags the both of em, with minimal talent!!

Nth Pines did not forfeit there B grade, they actually won the game by 28 points. Dont sprout rumours get the facts right first.

Lutz as an ex Nth Pines player/coach I take great offence to that comment and in future I suggest you think before you speak. Alot of great people have been involved with that club and they are fighting hard to stay afloat. Pull your head in

Confirmed tonite Wingfield is gone they pulled the pin on Thusday night after telling the league 3 weeks ago that they could fill a side.

[FOURTH ESTATE]

Question for week 2

We all saw the problems with last week with forfiets and Wingfield folding. Kilburn have jumped in to fill the spot and SHOC have put a 5th side into C6 to fill the bye will anyone else be forfieting this week?

[dee man]

To true Shark Hunter pride will get in the way of looking at the bigger picture. Clubs will get the troops to rally around them which will save them in the short term but what is their long term future. Some of those clubs that live hand to mouth need to realise that now. Is it better to merge and save your history than die with none what so ever.

Port District - (Semaphore Central & Exeter)

Portland - (Alberton United, Riverside & Ethelton)

PHOS Camden - (Plympton High Old Scholars & Camden)

These clubs still survive with a link to the past, where others just fold and history is lost.

My tip is that Ovingham won't survive the season if my sourses are right. Once the floggings begin players will disappear. The SAAFL need to take a stance and say enough is enough your time is up. This is not Ovingham bashing but the reality of thier survial is less than 25% in my eyes. Make the move merge with Blackfriars as they are looking for a ground I believe or with Fitzroy and give them a C Grade side. You can save a club for today but what happens when those servants move on who saved the club will anyone else step up to the plate.

Your right councils will only put money into facilities if they see a future for the club. No future No money.

not one to be shy myself but am a bit disappointed that people having ago at us at the start of the season and during were very loud about us and our future
am proud to say that we are alive
we did not forfeit a game
we were competive
we have finished the season in the black
as for the quick replys that will be for how long
well we will be announcing some big changes and some great announcements in the near future
yes we are only a small club but that will change
while clubs and people were having ago at ovies i was very interested to see that some of the bigger more finiancial clubs are doing it hard
its not only the small clubs that find it hard and all clubs,no matter how big or small will struggle without the help of good people

[marbles]

Err Boosh how come i been quoted back there. I aint said nothin on this subject lol

but what a great opportunity for struggling clubs. Its a chance to bring 2 common problems together and making super clubs. Ie brisbane lions or port districts or portland or phos or even henley greek in some respects. Look where they are now

what clubs are in this dilemma currently. No one wants to see an end, maybe all of us on here hav a few admin ideas as we lovers of grass roots football could unite to help such clubs flourish (except when playin my team hehe)

Err Boosh how come i been quoted back there. I aint said nothin on this subject lol

Because 'SATCHEL' changed his name from 'marbles'.

It's confused the shit out of me too.

Wingwater, I wike it
One of the funniest things I've seen. I played cricket one day at Wingies, first time there I went into the club to have a look and seen a sign on the wall which read "No fighting during presentations"
