SAAFL Division 8 2014

[HH3]

well c squads are normally just a bundle of whos ever around that year and how big the surplus is from the a & b grade squad that determines whether your c's are a powerhouse or a not so hyped place to be

currently ya get impression PNU is the place to be, the in crowd, the channel with all the ratings lol

but i will retract on my projection and instead state that PAC c-grade would pump any other cgrade in the saafl, considering i saw at least 80 blokes at their agrade bgrade preseason night

So if you had attended a TTG preseason night, you would be making the same statement about us, considering there are large numbers out there also trying to play A's and B's.

You also don't know how many of those numbers will stick around once they realise they aren't getting a consistent A or B grade game.

Big call considering very limited information...

Or how many of the 80 can kick a footy.

Hope Valley are looking for a trial game for a combined C/D grade, maybe 4 or 6 quarters on Friday night March 28th or early Saturday March 29th. (11am) At this stage our ground is unavailable, but that may change after the weekend depending on whether our D grade cricket side wins their Semi Final or not.

PM if you are interested

How are the numbers looking out there for the C's and D's, S Demon?

Assume Bundy has brought a few out in his debut coaching year...

Yeah numbers are really good at this stage. We have signed over 30 new players to the club as a direct result of Bundy being the coach. I would say around 65 players for C's and D's so far

Good to hear...

looking forward to catching up with a few of the names I've heard having a kick out there this year and the big fella.

Known Bundy for a while, so pretty confident that he won't snott me if I get a bit lippy, but probably won't push my luck

Looks like PNU will field a very strong C grade team this year. With many from last years premiership staying on as well as an influx of last years U18's as well as regular reserve players who will not be able to find a game in the B grade due to strong numbers.

If they can find cover for their retired dynamic 77 goal sexual tyranasauras.

But yeah Marty and I had a long chat Saturday night as that went like this "your playing", "no". "Your playing", "no". " ""Your Playing", "NO". From all reports I'm the only out along with Wato from the Premiership squad of 25. They will be very strong again and will play finals I would have thought despite the massive jump.

I would have thought despite the massive jump.

From what I seen last season of Div 8 and also of PNU, dont think the jump is as massive as one might think.. you prob would've kicked 80+ last season in div 8

Would of kicked 130 last year if some of those fat bastards got out of my way.

They're defenders - it's their job to get in your way!

Come out of retirement and give it another crack this year

Rumour has it his spot at FF has already been promised to someone else who is overweight and at the end of his career

Tend to agree, the top 4/5 sides in div 8 last year were a fair way ahead of the bottom half. A fair amount of sides in the "C" comp would go ok in div 8. Have to remember this comp is mostly consisting of sides that have a c and d grade.

Good hit out last night between Hope Valley and Ingle Farm, good signs for Hope Valley this season, will more than hold their own I think, couple of lads hopefully will look too push higher - some good pace and skill especially the lad who played on the wing he was sensational.

95% of the blokes that played Friday night will play C's or D's this year. Most in the second half have come with the coach to play lower grade footy.

Some in the first half might play some B grade as well, but that was majority C grade.

Thanks for coming up for the hit out. Good bunch of blokes that went in hard at every contest. It was a great hit out before round 1. Very physical trial game. Good luck for the season

With all the chopping and changing between divisions is this the final roster for Div 8 or are the Crows a chance to be put in this Div as well

Kid your talking about should be picked in the b's every week and then he could push for "a" grade spot.

Yeah Dean Liddicoat was explaining that to me, it's a good position for the club to have great depth, will be interesting to see how it works out over the season.

Was definitely a physical game, I'm still struggling to walk, Hope Valley one of the best tackling sides I have played in recent times, didn't miss many and made them count.

Good luck for the season!
