SAAFL Division 1 2013

[Shirtfront]

I had a little look and a touch of the occasional heckle at Gazas session last night also. Pretty good numbers for December. Great to see the coach in there doing the laps as well and leading by example. Not sure if he is being a great leader or if Mrs G has told him to tighten up the rig but none the less good early signs all round.

I seriously doubt they are in as much trouble as people are suggesting and there oval is truely now a great place to play footy. 2012s pain will bring about long term gain

We'll have to wait for the clearances to become official, but as reported so far, if Gaza have lost 1st Ruckman, 3 - 4 class onballers, CHF and a few others, you'd have to say they are not in terrific shape, and with the Messenger putting the stories out that they are on the bones of their ass, the big $$ might not be around to get the players to replace them? If they are chasing players from Div 4 & 5 adn 5R, it'll be a rude awakening for those players when they come up against a Div 1 side like St Peters or Henley, and the ever growing Premiership Favourite in Sals Nth.

Don't worry we have lost our share over the off season to country footy, its a bloody hard battle to fight, but we do have some really strong Under 18's coming through, last 2 premierships in Under 18 comp, and depth is strong. Gaza's B grade last year was a joke, so depth would have to be a serious worry for them.

You guys (Broadview) also poach/attempt to poach players from clubs in divisions below you who don't pay. Don't cry poor when country clubs try to outbid you for your own players.

If you read my post, it does not cry poor, it purely states that we struggle to keep players when big money is on offer from the country clubs. That is why we have put so much time and effort into the junior program and are seeing the results with home grown players. However we will continue to offer opposition players a chance to join our club, if you don't then you are not taking the football season seriously.

Yes i think my beloved Red Baron and one of the other hungry little machines that i have invested so much in are due for relocation sometime soon. I have no idea how much you get from selling a pokie but it must be a fair bit as i know they make plenty

I think it's $30K each plus a small kickback each year for 5 years.

Here is one cracker of a stat... Gaza have taken a player from a C4 team to play A grade in div 1 next season. If this occurs it would have to be the biggest jump made in the history of SAAFL just about. He may have been playing a touch lower than his ability as he has played league footy. Will be interesting to see how he adjusts as its safe to assume the pace of the game might be a bit quicker than his experiences this year

They've obviously seen you dominating those games of AFL 9's "the game for everyone"

What a great game it is

But no not me despite the fact i led the clubs association medal voting i will be staying firmly and fatly in C4

[marbles]

The difference between a c4 and a div1 player is the distance he is willing to run.

Ryan Sampson from Districts heading to Henley, very good player was very close,not the best midfielder in D2 this year. Good snag for the Sharks

He was the Prez. The new Big Dog is former 2004 chief Adrian Roberts whose son Neil plays in the A grade and other son Gavin was just released off the Freeo list. Would be a handy acquisition if he appeared in a Falcon jumper but is more likely to be a Redleg like so many other Payneham juniors.

His 2IC or is also a former head of the Falcon Family in George "Soprano" D'Antochia
