Also well done to Hectorville on getting straight back into div 4. thought u could've thrown a blanket over 4 sides to win the flag. Was an open comp.

Haven't once bragged about winning a B Grade flag. Have said though that we would have loved nothing more than to be successful in the A's sometimes though clubs go through a rough patch. We will be doing everything we can to turn around quickly as Woody Sth showed. If I were you I'd be more worried about your own backyard mate rather than an opposition club. I also think there is a saying something like winners are grinners and it doesn't matter what grade you win a flag in its still worth winning it champ.

From an outsiders point of view it's not a good look when your A's are relegated but your B's go on and win the flag, no matter the facts. I'm not being a smartarse or trying to start an argument for kicks either. It's a terrible look actually.

For 2 years now the B's and Cs have been strong. Sometimes clubs have depth without enough quality at the top end. Considering we don't pay players and rely on our off field culture to attract new players I think everyone acknowledges there are really only 2 ways of getting quality A graders to your club either through a junior program which we don't have atm or through $$$$ which we also haven't done. So it might take time for some of the kids who played this season in the B's time to mature but we know taking a step backwards can sometimes mean 2 steps forward at a later date.

Be interesting to see the B grade team you put on the park Saturday over the year with the snapshot of games played this year. I would think a very large proportion of blokes in that team would have played at least 35-40% of their games in the ones if they were rewarding performance of players in the 2's considering the ladder position of the 2 sides.

I did notice 1 bloke last week playing in the GF that had only played 2 a grade games all year (was in best players both games too) but played the rest of the games for the year in the 2's and played in the GF. That's where I got my opinion from an outsider from.

Maybe played our g.f last week against Lockleys, but regardless not a Smithfield performance. H.F.C we're a formidable opponent all year and we look forward to meeting them next year in div 4.

You just want West Croydon out of d6

You don't?

Come to think of it...this merger would be a great idea [emoji38]

By what pultney are saying they dont have the quality a graders to win enough games is backed by some of their close losses.. we all know that if you dont pay top dollar these days you wont get the quality you require to have a successful a grade in any grade especially if you dont have a strong junior programme!
