SAAFL Div C6 (2011)

[RRR]

Maybe - although I think from the looks they've tried to get as many clubs with multiple teams at the same location. So the triple header for FP, Salisbury & SHOC as well as double headers with Kenilworth/Unley/SMOSH. Seems to have worked out pretty well - not everyone is going to be happy with every draw but at least this seems to have some thought behind it.

Yeah for you blokes.
Why not have the triple header at Hope Valley? Only 15 mins max. for Flinders Park to go watch their other 3 sides at Kilburn after their game. Not to mention the 2 other teams in the Div 7 GF's are North of the city also.[/quote]
agreed it's a massive hike considering we havnt played out that way all year!! with the fact of all three other teams being in grand final it'll mean bugger all supporters down there!![/quote]

I dont understand, what do u want 4 teams at the same venue? Unfortunately the amount of sunlight we get on a Septembers day (unless u wanna start at 815am) means that 1 of your sides will be playing in competition to another. Kudos to FP for having 4 sides in the GF by the way.[/quote]
not that mate more the fact of a ground a little closer would have been handy!![/quote]

Its only 20 mins away
Anyway beside the point, think the saafl were hand tied with the amount of available ovals, hence the triple headers where they could.

We played against SHOC at St Marys this year, isn't that one of their home grounds? Or was that just for that week? would have thought that the C3 and C6 GFs could have been played together though but I guess it looks like oval availability was an issue.

Nah, it's Kenilworths home ground. I think we just played there because the Middle School, Main Oval and Mitchel Park were all taken up - so we were left with the scraps!

Thought as much, cheers.

Would have thought the C3 and C6 sides would be kept together considering they have all year

C6 GF been changed to Payneham Oval.

Best of luck to FP on Saturday, IMO will win this one and do it easily. Sorry SHOC boys but if you say that you needed some back last week to help out with numbers you will need a full bench to compete with FP. In all honesty, even with the side that you guys had last week FP would still win the game (again IMO) they would have to be the quickest, fittest and strongest D grade side I have seen or played against. Pretty good effort from both clubs to have all sides still playing this week! Even at this level fittness is a massive key, both FP and SHOC had this and in the end separated them from the rest.
Good luck to both sides but as I said FP is my tip by 40+.

I too wish fp all the best for tomorrow,great effort from shoc for making gf especially as they came into comp late even if they did get alittle help from their higher grades last week.With shoc's div1r side straight threw to the gf does that mean they can push players down to div7 and then so on,if thats the case then shoc may field the same side as last week?Your right about flinders ds being fit when i played c and ds was all old fellas just having a kick but from what ive seen this year they would beat alot of teams in higher grades,they have a good mix of old and young guys and i think they should win tomorrow by around 5 to 6 goals.Spewing the games so early means that i have to get up early to get out there and watch hopefully its a good game.Bad luck TEX07 on not making gf i thought you guys were certain to be there and i know parks also thought they would be playing against you guys but ive also lost finals to sides that have stacked their teams and its not right,hopefully parks can knock off shoc and pay them back for you

Dont get me wrong I hated the fact that SHOC were able to play players down to help out but it is within the rules so its the way it is, I have said before its the rules I dont like not the clubs that follow them. I think that it will be a fairly large night out at FP tomorrow night because I think that they are a huge chance of getting all 4 GFs! Good thing about footy is there is always next year, those next years are starting to get less and less though

[1 club]

whats the rule on playing more than 1 game per day shoc have 3 sides playing at the same ground.I see they name 25 in their d grade but only 22 in div7r and 23 in div7,can players go up and play more than 1 game if they sat on the bench for a while or are fresh enough to play again?can anyone fill me in i would have thought you could only play in the 1 gf?Why wouldnt they name full squads in their higher grades just incase of injuries?div7 and div7r is way more important than c6

[bandar]

They have named full sides plus an emergency in D7.

22 is the full squad forD7 and D7R

I think if you look thru SHOCs teams they have about 3 or 4 guys who played mostly Div1 R all season playing in the Div 7 grand final 2m. So looks like you will see the same C6 team from SHOC

[bandar]

There is one bloke that played 6 or so Div 1 games in the Div 7 side.

From what i have been told there is a couple of guys who only played 3 or 4 div 7 games, the rest were in Div1R.

What bloke you talking about?

Lads, all teams were picked on merit lets just stop the presumptions. B grade picked a 22 that will play next week (depends obviously if a grade win and injuries), then the rest were picked in lower grades. Results in no player missing out on a GF unless not picked for E grade.

You keep telling yourself that! I would hate to be the bloke that misses out on a GF right down the bottom while some guys will play in 2! Why cant you just come out and say, yep we want to win every GF we play in and we will drop players down to do this, you can pick whatever side you want for your Div1 R side still wont change the players who will play in your Div7 side. If what the others are saying here are true that you have a guy that was good enough to get 6 games in div 1 playing in div 7 tomorrow it is exactly my point all along, the rule is dumb and although SHOC are using it within them I dont think it is what the rule was made for. Maybe SHOC will do a bit better against FP than I thought.

I really don't get what you think we have done?

There are guys who played in the final last week against Angle Vale in Div7 who aren't playing tomorrow because they were promoted to the B grade this week. Now if we were really doing something dodgy wouldn't they still be playing in the C grade tomorrow??

The rule is fine as it is - it stops teams from stacking on the lower end if one of their higher grades is knocked out. In our case all it means is that we can pick our strongest team in each grade. If we had to worry about guys being qualified for each team then all of a sudden guys who weren't picked in the B grade wouldn't be getting a game at all as they couldn't be dropped down a division.
