Unoffical SFL Draw 2009

[Backliner]

Subject to change I'm told

[asert]

do you have a file of it to print

[the big bang]

whats the chances of Valley's applying to host their first game in the "catch up" round on the saturday night? would be a ripper of a way to kick off season 09 under lights! i would imagine they'd attract quite a crowd.

[hereforthebeer]

we have played a few games under lights over the last few seasons and think we might even have 3 this year they are great and do get a fair crowd which makes the atmosphere really good, it just feels a bit weird not starting till later on though, the only possible downside is it gives opposition coaches a chance to watch you when normally they might only see you 2 or 3 times a year

[Bag The Points]

Night game Valley v. Roos would be terrific. I'll vote for that !!
It'd be a great spectacle to open the season.

YEAH!!! WOO HOO!!!

lets email mr. warman and see what he can do!!

[asert]

should go to a fri night game every weekend even if brighton and marion for instance do it on valley oval. get all the teams to nominate who would want to do it and just use those teams. give us some local footy to watch on a fri night and good revenue for the teams participating

This would be what your looking for asert (attached to post), by the way for people looking for it on the SFL's website, dont hold your breathe, 2006 is still up, only 2 years behind. They did promise a full site update over the off season and to make it one of the better websites around, but no chane yet, and cant see them doing much.

[the big bang]

i'd be all for that too. IMO the more local footy i can get to the better!! if there was a game friday night, saturday and saturday night i would attend all 3 possible games 2 weeks out of 3! if that makes sense!

i believe the same for SANFL and south adelaide. if they played more night and sunday games, i would be able to attend more than the 1 or maybe 2 games a year i do now. i think the SANFL really needs to look at this, and i even have the stats to back it up, that the weekend of the association game, the average crowd is more than 200 more spectators that week than the rest of the year!

A) For interest, club games versus the top seven

1 - Cove 10
2 - H/Valley 9
3 - M/Vale 10
4 - BDOS 9
5 - Reynella 9
6 - Pt Noar. 9
7 - E/Town 8
8 - M/Ville Pk. 8
9 - Flagstaff H. 9
10 - Marion 8
11 - Chr Beach 8
12 - Noar. 8
13 - Aldinga 7
14 - OSB/Lons 7
15 - Hackham 8

B) Most of the bottom 6 - 7 sides have a very tough mid year, for instance Aldinga have from round 6, Porties, M/Vale, H/Valley. Cove, Reynella; Conversely, most of the top sides, have a pretty "easy" mid year going by lasts results. Surely common sense can prevail and these games between disparate sides can be more random?

[the big bang]

was pretty much the same for us last year EV. had the top 4 teams,4 weeks in a row. does a bit of damage to team morale and confidence, but after the 4th game, we're all better players for it, and go onto to play some good footy for the rest of the year. so i dont mind the setup.

not sure why they would make hackham play more top sides than us and lions. and the same amount as self-proclaimed "top 2" Townies.

[Jayne]

TBB, Townies self proclaimed top 2???

I'd be interested to know where you got this from???

was chatting to one of edwardstowns players, and he gaunteed me they'd finish top two. and i wouldnt be surprised if it hadnt also been stated on here in one of numerous threads where the subject of townies joining the SFL has come up, and where they would slot into the competition.

As much as it would be great to see and play underlight on a saturday night, the home clubs are the only one who would benifit, bigger crowd and more money taken at the gate over the bar and bbq. It cost the away team plenty as they would loose there saturday night back at there club, even if the game finished at 8.30pm by the time people got back to there club it would be to late to make any money behind the bar or on meals. Don't want to sound like a stick in the mud but as an away club we would want some sort of compensation for that loss.

That attitude sucks. If everyone had that sort of attitude nothing would ever change for the better. It just makes it too hard for the people who get off their arse to try new things.

Nothing wrong with trying new things and as i said in the opening line, it would be great to see, but why would we play a night game when we know it would cost us money?

[the big bang]

it wouldnt cost you money, you just wouldnt make as much as you normally would. big difference

Yeah im at a bit of a loss why they would do that. Especially scheduling Townies first game in the league against Hackham at Edwardstown...its not good for either team. Townies (if they are as good as they reckon) will get a false sense of how good the league is and go into future games overconfident, Hackham might have morale smashed as early as Rd 1...

In 2008 if i remember correctedly we had

Rd 6 - Reynella
Rd 7 - Brighton
Rd 8 - Cove
Rd 9 - Happy Valley

who were all around in the top 5...(we played Morphett Vale in Rd 11)

[asert]

you wouldnt lose out cos you would still do normal presentations sat night its only the a grade that changes the rest of the club still as normal. youd prob make more from the a grade spending money watching lower grades

nah, last year we played Valleys in a night match, and all grades played later than normal.
