SAAFL Div 6 & 6R (2010)

[Senor Moto Gadili]

good work to west croydon getting promoted matty has worked hard and done a good job with them and wouldnt be to surprised if they have more success next year in div 5 if they keep the same playing group

I watched Hectorville vs Brahma Lodge yesterday. IMO, West Croydon would have been very competitive with these two sides this year.

Fair call. Always hard to compare teams in different divisions, but from what I have seen West Croydon will be ultra competitive in Div 5 if they play like they have this year. Based on the last 4 years all Div 6 teams that have been promoted have done very well in their first year in Div 5. In fact, I believe they have all made finals with a number going straight up to Div 4.

2006 Greenacres & Plympton
2007 Golden Grove & Blackfriars
2008 Hope Valley & Westminster
2009 Brahma Lodge & Hectorville

[Q.]

I'm kinda wondering how Trinity OS qualify for a home final given their almost non-existent facilities.

Many planning on making the trek down there?

not me..i think LFC will win but i want TOS to win..division 5 can have that trip..

[Q.]

Lockleys and Trinity road trips 'six to one and half a dozen of the other' for me.

Reckon I'll drop in at Harper's. Should be a cracking atmosphere there.

how is it disappointing? they have played finals havent they.. what more could you want.

i think CLG suffered the worst in div 6 with injuries and players leaving (harvey) no matter what people say about him he is still a presence in the lower divs as proved last year coming top 3 in the medal count..

benchmark has issues with CLG unknown..best to leave him to his misery..westminster and heccies are above WC and whoever they will play in a fortnight in my opinion, and i have seen all the teams..valleys are just hanging around in div 5 and look..its 2 teams who went up through div 6 coming back..north haven and blackfriars..so premiers and grand finalists do have bad years..as much as you want to dance on the lions grave they aint dead yet benchmark..so suck it up and wait..and trinity havent made it out of div 6 yet either..and i dont think they will..lockleys are back on track..dig?

FYI This will be the first time North Haven have played at this level

[Boosh]

Has the Grand Final ground been decided yet?

Am keen to see what the benchmarks of Div 6 are like to see what is required if i am playing there next year?

Apologies, they did indeed....and weren't they the exception to the theory that the top Div 6 teams will be ultra compettiive in Div 5

[zedman]

division 5 is much a harder competition than 3-4 years ago..there are no easy games and 2 reasonable teams will be relegated again next year..i expect BOS and NHFC to be very competitive in div 6..and WC and its grand finalist will have to recruit again and be on the ball every game to make the finals..

spot on. we only beat blackfriars by 3-4 goals both times and we had to work for it. looking at div 6 last year, you knew glenunga n central united were easy beats and mitchell park were off their game for most the season. ade lutheran finished 7th in div 5 and they had some quality players. IMO heccies team this year would be around 10 goals better than last years team. im sure WC will have plenty of time to think about div 5 over summer, they still have the biggest game of the year to play.

Marvelous what a huge cash injection to a club makes, budget to buy players, support staff, etc, pay existing players, which all equals climbing the divisions and sustainability. Compared to CU operating on a povo pack with players playing for the love of the game, mates and club and enjoying themselves, but can only go so far.

i like what CUFC are doing bringing in a whole load of kids in to the A grade and yeah your right playing for love but when you get fair dinkum rabbits like red white and blue on the div7 forum it takes away wanted to see them win!

Always get turkeys at every club that don't think about their actions and how it reflects on the majority. CU have done it hard over last couple of years and didn't really start well this year, good luck to them to turn it around, they do deserve to go all the way.

No they weren't, i thick they played div 5 finals first year up in 2007!! Then relegated in 2008.

Luthies actually finished 8th!! We finished 7th. Div 5 was a tough comp this year. I believe BOS will be top 3 next year and won't stay in Div 6 too long...

Heccies in full flight would beat WC by 10 goals, as would Brahma IMO
