SAAFL Division 8 & D8R (2012)

[FOURTH ESTATE]

Correct!! Talk to you club secretary for all the details.

$8 to get in on Sunday, what a frigging joke. As much as I love playing at Salisbury, $8 is pushing the limits. Makes it hard to get volunteers to help out also, water boys etc.
Surely saafl can't justify this entry fee for c/ d grade footy?


We might forfeit out of protest

Are you serious? So does this mean we need to pay to get in and play?

We didnt even charge to get into Harpers last weekend for the A and B grade unless you wanted to drive in.

You have no choice but to drive in at Salisbury so it is ridiculous that we have to pay to play.

Take Salisbury out of the equation, they will make $600 just out of GGFC,PAOC and UNI players providing we both field 25 players for a C/D grade game.




I think it is also ridiculous that Div 8 has to pay the $1000 fee like Div 2-7 but C1 down only pay $500 to host a home final. If we are not a C grade comp like the rest then we should play finals on a Saturday like the rest, but we then have to pay $1000 to host a final on a Sunday afternoon. This is why Salisbury have to charge to get into the ground to host the final.

I would say we would have taken up the home final if it was $500 as opposed to the $1000.

It's in black and white on the saafl website, so its no joke. play Let's just a game down the park using trees as goals!

Like park 9 maybe?

Correct!! Talk to you club secretary for all the details.

Sorry I misunderstood I thought we also had to pay to get in.

Still think that the $1000 fee for a Sunday final in C grade is a bit rich though.

$1,000 is for 2 games if you only have one then it is $500

[Johno6]

for the a and b grade it was $2 a car for our players and $5 for non players

[Hefty]

Personally don't mind Salisbury Oval. Had a good record out there in finals and enjoy the open spaces. Bring on Sunday!!!

So if in Div 8 we had said we want our C grade to play at home this week we would only have to pay $500?
In this week we had no side in Div 8 res so we wouldnt be required to pay for that game then as we have no home side there?
It is irrelevant anyway really we didnt go for the home final anyway but I am just curious.

more than likely that would have been the case

A few things:

1 - The Salisbury FC itself is not charging anybody to get in. The SAAFL man the gate for neutral finals, and decide on the cost, we just supply the oval, bar, canteen, facilities etc.
2 - As FE said, each club gets 35 tickets to cover players, coaching staff, trainers and officials.
3 - I'm assuming it was chosen due to being the most central venue for the six clubs (Salisbury, Uni, GG, PAOC, TTG, EP) that are competing, bar Kilburn which is already being used over the weekend.
4 - Should be good weather and top day, it's the best venue in the SAAFL to watch finals footy (bias I know) so enjoy it lads.

Im happy with the oval and also that we as players dont have to pay. It has always been a cost to get into finals, I just thought $8 was a bit rich. I thought that Salisbury would have or should have been given a cut of whatever goes through the gate, surely your club members would not have to pay to get in?

Weather is suppose to be 20 so thats a winner too!

Rain hail or shine!

You back??

Well done to Baz Sanders in D8 and Maxy Burf in the D8R winning the medals. Baz is the oldest medal winner this year at 35yo. Easily the fittest bloke in the team too. Witness the fitness!!

The paoc bloke is pretty good player but to win that easy opens a few Eyes. own umpire and all???

why cant a bloke just win it because he is good? I dont remember him but if he won he won, I thought that PAOC umpire was pretty good so I would assume he deserved it. Thought that the SMOSH guy with the helmet stood out against us both times but dont know his name?

[finn]

If he's PAOC's number 12 - the older balding quite fit guy - then he was far and away their best player. Not surprised that SMOSH didn't provide a winner as they're even over the grade even if the helmeted one was their linchpin but surprised that Juers/Bennett (i think) from Broadview weren't closer.
Congrats to both.

All i am saying it will not be the first time for something like that to happen. Going to be a big game at the Den this week. Broadies touched us up last time. think it could be a close game.

Did you see Bazz play at all schimma?

At least we went up and shook Forbes hand on the night when he easily won 2 years ago
