SAAFL Div C4 (2011)

[dee man]

Has Ovies gone up to C3 have they?

as of last night we were still in c4

How is your numbers out at Ovies Dee Man. I drove past on Tuesday and noticed just over 20 out on the track all wearing Ovies guernseys.

numbers have been good but they fluctuate quiteb alot
the previous thursday we had 25 out on the park but come this thursday we had only a dozen even tho we had appologies for most of the missing

If anyone has the official C4 comp details can you PM me with them and I'll change the poll.

maybe Smithfield may come in C4 to make 10 teams or go to C5

[baggy]

we at ovingham are looking forward to getting it on with the rest of this division this year.im sure we will be competive and hopefully put on a show.as you are all aware we are a single team club but with the rest all c grade teams we are happy to help out where possible maximising other clubs income at their home grounds.any clubs that want to have triple headers with their a and b grade teams feel free to pm me.if we put it to bed early between the clubs and the league that will give you a chance to start planing.

Im sure Elizabeth would be keen for triple headers with ovingham in c grade? Maybe when their A&Bs play kilburn in Div 4 could be the go? Duncas is the man to ask ?

Have heard Plympton have pulled their C Grade this season?
Can anyone confirm or deny this?
Really hope they havent as that means another lost & if it was anything like last year it was a joke on the draw with each team having 4 x byes + the june long weekend off which was 5 weeks off out of a 18 game season.

I would be very surprised if that was true. Where did you hear it from?

I know that like us, they are intrigued as to why we have been put into C4 and not in C5 with the other Div 5 C grade sides...
I'm sure Brahma Lodge are happy to see the backs of the Top 4 from last year

Top 3 for C4 in 2010 have gone up to in Golden Grove, Adelaide Uni & Salisbury along with Pooraka. Woody South went down & Westminster withdrawing only leaves Unley & Fitzroy from last season so am looking forward to challenge of pretty much a whole new division.

Heard this about Plympton from one of our league delagates but maybe he got it wrong & they are trying to stay in C5 & have pulled out from C4 or something so am only asking the question but realy hope they stay.

I believe Plympton, like us, are all for triple headers, which is why they are not happy about being put in C4. There are 7 div 5 clubs with C grades. Throw in a Uni side, a Smithfield, or an Ovingham and you have a C5 comp with the potential to play 12 triple headers.

It certainly takes the pressure of finding umpires and support staff and makes more sense. I am a little perplexed as to what the league is trying to do with C5 this year. Seems a shame to lose all those triple headers that worked so well last year in C5, especially after not even discussing it with any of the clubs involved.

Just because Plympton, Luthies and HV finished top 3 last year, doesn't mean we will all be any good this year?? Putting teams up and down divisions should only be in line with your A/B grade sides. C grade sides should be put in divisions that help those particular clubs out the most. Not just to suit what the SAAFL wants...

very well put... last year worked so well and it was so much easier finding people to help with the triplle headers... it was very dificult to find help and on some occasions to find players when it wasn't a triple header!!!!
as i said in a previous post im not around pfc much anymore, but i know they would be very disapointed that there will not be as many triple headers. the revenue for the club was good on these days and the c's got to watch the a's and b's which is relly good...
i personally feel all c grade games should be played at 1215 so the lads can go back and watch most of the a's..

Agree, if it not a triple header it should be 12.15pm start. What time do you think saafl will start c4 comp ?? you gussed it 2.15pm start, what a forward thinking league we have.

haha!!! correct... i reckon it will be 215 and then it will be up to the clubs to organise between each other to get the 1215 start...

I know that a 12:15 start for C grade sounds better for the players but what about the club. If your clubrooms are not open all day Saturday (ie you dont have pokies) is it harder to find someone to come open up the club for a 12:15 start and then sit around from the time the C grade finish until everybody gets back from the A grade? Or close up to go watch the A grade and then come back to open up? I would have thought it would be easier for the club if there was only going to be 1 game at the ground that the clubrooms are opened up later therefore they can stay open? Just looking at it from a different angle. Triple headers solve all these problems though.

i definitely see where your coming from. those clubs can deny the earlier start for there home games.. because if the 2 teams cant agree the home side will always get what it wants, for obvious reasons.
PFC opens the doors at 11 on saturdays, when there's no footy on regardless... we have no pokies... i still feel regardless if you cant get to the a's i personally prefer the 1215 start...

Why do you open your bar from 11am if there's no footy on that day?

Seven days a week? Nice luxury to be able to do that.
