Only warm beer I got was in York. Tryed a local Ale, I politely handed the pint back with a no thank you! He offered to put ice in it but I payed and asked him to pour it out

In other news EFC are 3rd halfway through the season, developing a great side. Look for the big run home

I'll have to play rd 18 duncs and we can share a beer or 5 after. Seeing as most times I see you we are both crawling around the Casino....

Back in for this game - should be a good one.
We only just snuck home against Kilburn last time.

[Blackadder]

No triple header for PFC and HFC?

Yes it will be a triple header. B's up first, then A grade and C's play last.

[bench coach]

I think it's pathetic to drop blokes down from your higher grades when they've played earlier in the day and the SAAFL should not allow it. If you're 50/50 to make finals then you could effectively schedule a twilight or night game towards the end of the season and just have your whole B grade have a few hours rest then double up again at night and nothing will be said by the league. If you ain't got enough players don't have a C grade, simple!!

Trouble is that you may have 90+ players in February which soon becomes 60 odd come June/ July.

True but you're allowed 25 in the C grade comp doesn't mean you have to use them all. Kilburn started with 18 on Saturday and had 7 Div 3R players rock up at 1/4 time to play the rest of the game, just don't think it's fair. Wouldn't be able to do it in finals so why now?

I cant believe that the SAAFL would allow a some one to drop down a grade on the same day. Can anyone give me anything from the SAAFL to state this is legal?

So if you can't do it in finals why allow it during the regular season?

Because thats what the Clubs wanted - remember each Club votes on the rules & regs, if they don't want them it is simple to remove them

Thanks EM. I know that the team I coach won't do this just for the principle!

So if you were a struggling C Grade only managing to put 15-16 on the field on any given week you would categorically not allow any player from the B Grade coming back and playing in your C Grade to help your club mates out?

Back in the day of non triple headers the players generally would not rock up until just before half time anyway after jumping in the car and racing to the next ground!

And also, if someone were to pull out of your B Grade at late notice and it was a triple header, you would categorically disallow a player to come off at quarter time or half time to come up into the B Grade and help your club out?

I think sometimes we get C3 footy mixed up with AFL - I mean, I know some people take footy seriously, but sheesh...

[Dogwatcher]

People play C3 for the same reason they play at a higher level.
Anyone who says they're out there for just a laugh is kidding themselves.
Everyone wants to win - otherwise there wouldn't be a grand final.

I totally disagree with blokes dropping back. Go up, sure. But not back.
I can't think of any other football competition in the state where that sort of thing would be allowed.

So you can't go back to the lower grade, but you can start in the lower grade and go up??

So you can start one of your guns in the 3s for him to play a half, and then go up in the 2s????

Can't have it one way and not the other...

Agree to disagree with you on this one, but I understand your argument.

[Dogwatcher]

You start a guy in the threes and he goes up, that's your choice to penalise your team.
There's a big difference.
Start allowing blokes to drop back, then you can stack the C grade, particularly if your B grade's finals chances are hit and miss.
And again, players rocking up at half time, no matter how knackered, have an impact on the game.

In the Riverland, if your A and B grade are playing on different days, you can't drop back on Sunday if your A grade plays on Saturday. It's the same in all other comps I'd imagine.

But if he goes up to the two's from the threes isn't he having the exact same impact on the game that your suggesting above?

In that it's more of an impact than if he wasn't playing...

That's why I'm saying you can't have it both ways.
