Houston, we could have a problem.

The league was looking at using SAAFL fenced grounds wherever possible this year to give money back to the clubs , however, it looks like the main 4 grounds used (St Marys, Campbelltown, Salisbury and Kilburn) could become unavailable as teams are playing in GF's.

So where do we play?

KFC wont get a home GF surely? how does that work?

We always make Salisbury available, even if we make a GF. Did the same when the As won in 07 and the Bs in 05 and 06.

Was going to say, surely this has happened before?

Nooooooooooooo silly... I meant that everyone will be going to whichever ground Kenilworth are playing at and will find it hard to find volunteers to man any other GF at St Marys oval.

As will the other clubs.

I guess you're probably lucky Pag in that you have a huge band of volunteers - but at clubs like ours for example, where the same small amount of people do everything, it could mean our club missing out on a GF if our magoos make it.

Div1 & Div2 Thebby
Div3 Kilburn
Div4 Cambelltown
Div5 St Mary's
Div6 Salisbury
Div7 ?????

Just a guess only.

I just hope the ground i have heard that is getting the Div 7 grand final isn't correct!

Fair points.

I think St Marys is the most interesting one, every grade will have at least one team from a fair bit north of the city bar Div 6 (which Kenilworth are playing in), someone isn't going to be happy to have to go all the way down there.

I think ROCs may not make Campbelltown available as they're playing in a GF. This is my point.

D6 won't be at Salisbury as it'll be between Kenilworth and either Glenunga or BOS. They're not going to send them across the other side of town.

Our oval is in excellent nic (seriously...)- and with our new changerooms, you'd think we'd get one of the above.

Oh... and Brahma Lodge will be holding a GF. All I can say is that it better not be at the expense of us...

We'd be happy to have you

Didn't they use SANFL grounds last year? Div 6 was at Richmond Oval from memory.

And we'd be happy to play there...your ground would suit us nicely.

You didn't read my opening post

If they are the ovals available its stiff chedar really, Kenilworth unfortunately are going to have to travel or throw them on Glandore Oval & put a temporary fence up!
SANFL grounds may not be used to keep $$$$ with Amateur League Clubs.

Thanks for re-iterating my opening post, NM

your welcome

Div 2: (Thebby) ROC vs Uni/SPOC
Div 3: (Kilburn) Portland vs Flinders/SMOSH
Div 4: (Campbelltown) Salisbury vs Scotch/Kilburn
Div 5: (St. Marys) Salisbury West vs Plympton/West Croydon
Div 6: (Salisbury) Kenilworth vs BOS/Glenunga
Div 7: (Hope Valley) Mawson Lakes vs SHOC/Angle Vale

The losers in this scenario would be Salisbury West and Kenilworth, Plympton would gain some advantage.

Argana Park is fully fenced and gates can be manned.

Doesn't help the volunteer situation though.

Man, am I typing in invisible ink or something?

I've said that Campbelltown may be taken out of the equation..

How can Brahma Lodge host?

And I think Div 4 would be a triple-header GF.
