SAAFL Div 7 & 7R (2009)

[The Ash Man]

Surely the SAAFL would put Ovingham in div 7 and turf some C & D grade teams to lower grades.....

Common sense would suggest so.

Common sense?

[Q.]

Exactly

havent heard much about ovies of late.....give us an update...have you guys got the req 30 odd players, not inc the ones that have retired.....heard sammy allcock may be heading back to salsbury?

Ovies will have 2 sides next year,They have appointed an A grade and a B grade coach.Heard afew Gepps boys are going over plus the bs coach is bringing some i think they will lose 3 to 4 from retiring.Sammys not going any where is great mates with the new A grade coach and has played in the last 3 in a row flags together.I think div 7 is full so the club may have to field a side in c2 and c5 like Modburys Cs and Ds did this year,not sure to early to tell

that would be nonsensical. if a club can get two teams together they should play against other a and b grade sides. i'd suggest clubs like smosh would look at going down again

[Q.]

I'd say they'd give the Div 1 clubs' C/D sides the first preference at being in Div 7 too.

very reasonable - would have to have uni in there or there'll be no space for to fit all of the blacks sides unless there is yet another attempt at a div 8 c& d grade competition

[Q.]

Ahh, true. You'd be the exception then.

Hey Wattle, I heard that Dale Woodhart and Shane Scraggs are heading over to Ovies. Any truth in the rumour. It would be a very good pickup for Ovies if my mail is correct. Who are the new A grade and B grade coaches out at Ovies for the 09 season

Yer Woodhart and Scraggs are coming plus a couple of others.Woodhart coached there under 18 this year to 3rd and i think a few a following him so it will be good.O'brien to coach the A grade with big Spencer his assistant and Elmadorpe to do the Bs.Maybe Steelo to come back for a kick in the 2nds aswell,just as long as they get the numbers for two sides things will go well as the As will b strong in div 7 or c2.The club is pushing and hoping for div 7

['00'02'03'07]

very good pickups in Woodhart and Scraggs. Hopefully Steelo can play all year as he too would be a very handy pickup. Good luck to Elma too with the B's. If Ovies can keep a good percentage of the current players and pickup some more quality players like Scraggs and Steelo then they should be in for a good season next year.

this may be the case but did they nominate 2 teams and was it in div 7 7res or was it c2 and c5

[gothebombers]

be good to see all with a and b grade teams, then the c and d grade teams can have their own little comp if you get my drift

yeah mate i hear ya although i believe henleys C and D grade would be way to strong but i guess that is just on 2008 form

this divvy could look like this..div 7 7res......adel uni...angle vale...houghton districts....mitchell pk....wingfield...nth pines...ovingham...st pauls...flinders uni.....my view is with ttg, modbury, henley and shoc s being div 1 and athelstone smosh being div 2 , mitcham being div3 and golden gr being div 4..threse are all the teams with fourth sides..they are going to have to reinvent the c6 comp for d grades.....while having ttg modbury henley and shocs c grades in c1 and d grades in c6...atthelstone and smosh in c2 and c6...mitcham in c3 and c6 and gg in c4 and c6....looking at c1 if all these teams(ttg modbury etc ) were in any other div but c1 then c1 would poss only have 6 teams...cannot see any other way. and with c2 losing modbury and ovingham and edwardstown from this years comp, it would leave only 6 or 7 sides.....i dont think they can really do anything else

[bickle]

i'd assume that henley's c grade would be in div 6 or div 7 - they've nominated there in the past and been consistently competitive.
broadview done to c5 or c2 if they get some players in. would expect the amateur league to push the reflective nature of the grades this year if there is an influx of sides into div 7.
blacks have nominated c2 (trying to hook up triple headers), c3, c4, c5, 7 & 7 res, 2 & 2 res

[Q.]

We may not have to wait much longer to find out.

I am told that the make-up of divisions will be discussed at the next delegates meeting.
