Div 8 and C grade draft gradings before Christmas for discussion.

[Demon Juke]

looks like the week before easter at this stage.

However, because that's March 30 some clubs are having a hoo haa because their cricket clubs won't let them use the oval..

Was going to be after Easter, but too many peanuts putting in for the season to start on the 30th March.

March 30 is cricket G.F. weekend I believe. That will rule a few grounds out that week. have round 1 the week after easter and there will be a lot less stuffing around. But thats probably too easy. A few people running this comp love making life harder than it needs to be

Cricket grand finals are the week before 24&25 March
Well at least the ATCA and PDCA are

District final at Adelaide Oval is the following week

That's good then, you have given everybody 5 days to get ready for football. Don't worry about trial games! that's right saafl can charge us to use Thebarton oval for trial games.

Bad luck, shouldn't be playing any sport besides footy anyway

What about weddings? I know of a div 6 team who now need a coach Round 1 due to current coach attending a wedding on this start date

I believe we've put in a request to play this particular team in Round 1

[Yardy Lard]

The date to start just t has to change. Over half the clubs have cricket on the ovals until April and councils who won't allow football in march. Just a silly idea.

It's the same weekend as this year
We started on 2nd April
It's kicked to the 31st because it's a leap year

Don't say that now Demon Juke will think it's a Brahma Lodge conspirecey to start on the 31st

[FOURTH ESTATE]

Are we only playing the one rep game this year in Tassie & will the D1 bye be between rounds 16-17 as normal?

Easter was not the weekend after round 1 this year, makes so much sense play round 1 then have a bye.

You're quite right, it was after Round 3 but Easter in 2012 is on the 8th of April as against the 24th in 2011. I'd be pretty sure the SAAFL can't determine the world calender for Easter

That said, the year before the league did have 1 round then break for Easter IIRC though I do stand to be corrected.

I'll correct myself. It was 2009 with round 1 then easter

We could always play on Easter just think of the $$$$$$$

Not saying they should change the world calender, just makes more sence to start the week after easter on the 14th april, maybe the clubs should vote for this.

Just a question, how does it make more sense?

There will be the 2011 team of the year v SA Country prob Easter again and U/23 v Tassie

Not sure when the round will be for D1 Bye yet but would be probably around the last third of the year
