Was a great D7 side.

Bloke whose played all his career in D7, have you even seen D2 or 3? That's a pretty outlandish comment to be making, how do you even justify that?
None of those guys have played all their careers in D7. In fact they've played much higher for most of their careers.
Mazey - just kicked 40 goals for Happy Valley and got named in the best 10 times - would be an instant pick in any D2 or D3 side
Potuszynski - played a season for Happy Valley and kicked 16 goals in 14 games. In 2012 would've been first 21 in D2 or D3 easily.
Harrison - played a couple of seasons at Christies Beach and I think finished very high in their B and F. D2 or D3 quality player in 2012, easily.
Daish - played for Aldinga, Hackham and OSB over the journey. Would be a D3 pick pretty easily.
Ortmann - played A Grade for Port Noarlunga for many years - might've been a bit old in 2012 for D2 but would've slotted into D3.
Typical attitude about the lower grades though, it's not the top end of teams that have a lack of ability, most D6 and D7 sides would have 5 or 6 that could play much higher. It's after those where the depth plummets and the overall standard drops.
