SAAFL Div 5 & 5R (2010)

[Groover]

brahma had about 40-50 on the track last night starting to look good again, trial in a few weeks should be a good hit-out for both sides

some creative counting there mate. More like 30 out there. But good try anyways. Must say you trained like 4-5 guys so I suppose you are close.

Maybe he included the cricketers as well?

So you were lying to make numbers sound better? To the benefit of what and who? We'll go about our business with whoever trains, no matter of numbers and see how that goes into the season. The quality is looking good, numbers on the other hand have been disappointing you have to admit.

[EddieV]

I know there are still quite a few tied up with cricket at other clubs....i guess one downfall with training Tuesday and Thursdays is that these guys wont be available.

It would be nice (and I know other clubs that do it) to train on maybe Monday and Wednesday. Cricket does take a big hit on the footy numbers, and it is really only pre-season compared to mid season cricket. I would be thinking there'd be 10-15 more out at Lodge training if not for cricket, probably even more.

[EddieV]

Thats correct. When i told someone from work that we were doing tuesday and thursday he thought it would make more sence to do monday and wednesday numbers wise

I think LM will be able to confirm, but Smithfield either train Wednesday for cricket and Tuesday Thursday for footy, or other way around. Makes a heap more sense to me. Then I could get my fat a**e out there for training 2 nights a week instead of 1.

So this is last years ladder.

2 teams come up in brahma lodge and Hectoville. History will tell you that 1 team will play finals and the other will either be relegated or finish 7th - 8th. Hopefully for brahma sake we make finals.
2 teams have come down. Adelaide Lutheran and North Haven. Would expect both teams to be very strong and fight for a finals place, if not top 3. I am lead to believe the drop between div 4 abd 5 is decent enough. Both teams would be hoping to go straight back up or at a minimum play finals.
Ok this leaves the last 6 teams:
Smithfield: Have a new coach, some big recruits that will all take positions in the spine for them. Thats very handy and are better positioned to have a real crack at the top 3 this year.
Elizabeth: Like smithfield have really recruited on a needs basis. Will have the best big man in the comp and some very classy onballers. Another side that right now would fancy themselves as top 3.
Hope Valley: Team promoted in 2009 and a good consolidating year. Would hope the playing list developes another 5% and they play finals football. I imagine they will be there or there abouts in september.
Blackfriars OS: Here is a college team that really has gone from strength to strength in the last few years. While they could lose some important players, i really believe will improve again and have a massive say in finals footy.
Rosewater: A side you never heard a hell of alot about but always manage to give you a hard physical game of football. Don't kow what santa has delivered or taken away from the club in the off season but a club i am never game to pick against or think wont be right in the mix. A team that always manages to get the job done.
Plympton: You would think are the yard stick and team everybody is wanting to beat. Have done it all but win that final game to get them promoted and do not and will not be far from that mark again.

OK so it looks like i have given every team a good wrap there. Well i would think in div 5 this year every team training right now would expect to play finals footy. 5 teams will be mystified in october at how they are not in div 4 next year. 3 teams will think this is the year that slipped away and 2 teams will be very proud of their efforts(one will be pissed at losing the big dance). So after all that here is my crack at how the ladder will play out after round 18, 2010:

Plympton
-------------- Gap
Blackfriars
Adelaide Lutheran
----------------Gap
Brahma Lodge
Elizabeth
Smithfield
Rosewater
Hope valley
-------------Gap (not that big msybe 2 games, will reach 10 points the teams below)
Hectorville
North Haven


That should upset a few

[BenchedEagle]

Are u really that un-confident in your team this year??? To place yourselves distant 4th???
Just my view that every player in every side should go into a season aiming for top spot.
Seems silly to me that any side would say they'd be happy with anything but a GF

I guess im a half glass full kinda guy

Duncs i would love to get on here and say we will finish top and win the grand final by 10 goals. However if i do say that blokes get on here and say how full of myself i am and how we are shit. Just trying to be unbias (as i can be as an A grade player at brahma lodge). Imagine the shit i cop if i put us top. Just not worth it.

I guess that means Duncs has declared that Elizabeth will play in the GF - so one more spot available

duncs likes to say elizabeth will be in the grand final every year. then seems to go missing.
nothing wrong with picking ur own team if u believe you have the cattle to do the job. i believe our team is a top 3 team.
no one knows any activity on us which is a good thing

wouldn't upset me at all.... hopefully your rite...

[TIRED TIGER]

if i were a betting man i would be on north haven to be top 3 never lone bottom. good coach(with ability to attract recruits) players coming back and won couple big games at end 2009, which proves they can do it and teams coming down usually successful also.but good on you for having a crack at it gives us something to think and talk about

[catchisthecry]

Yeah I'm surprised most people have written off North Haven. Beat us pretty easily last start... and most have us up near top and NH bottom. Any way you look at it, looks like a real tight comp at this stage.
