The Best Possible League in SA Football

[Hills]

Imps jervois and Ramblers should be disregarded in this list (THE MOLE) as i reckon those three teams woul be good in the sfl.

There best players could more than match it in any league, but just there weakest 5-10 really let them down, just my opinion, not sure what other people think

[thegossip]

guys i think you are all getting carried away how good some of these teams are. All these teams would stuggle to be in top 10 teams. I am not from amateur league but none of these team apart from maybe morphy vale, also mt gambier as i dont know alot about that league would not get within 10 goals of any div 1 side.

[the big bang]

dont bother putting any great southern teams in here. shit league. wouldnt even get close to a goody saints sort of team.

Are you a disgruntled lad that couldnt cut it in the GSFL? I only ask as your post had a bit of feeling in it.... Shit League?

[BJ Ernest]

big bang, tell me the good leagues.
maybe no country side would get close to the goodwood saints or a top tier A1 club.
on the other hand i wouldnt put willunga or langhorne creek that far off.
you need to have seen these sides play a bit to judge that they cant play and that they are shit.

John Richter, who I think may still be playing down there, may beg to differ about the top couple of Mt Gambier sides.

Goodwood Saints are not that good, div 1 is great footy however there are a few country sides travelling well including Lofty, Jervois, Willunga, Langhorne, Morph Vale, Lucindale, Keith, Western Border top 3/4 very good also.

We need a new carnival for Team of SA
GF Teams from every league in SA and SAAFL Div 1 & 2 play off in a round robin weekend (possibly October Long Weekend) to be crowned SA TEAM/Club of the Year.
This might work seeing as though a lot of players will play for club pride before they play for association teams...

ye i have always thought about the idea of playing the seasons premiers a week or two after the GFs or in the early part of the next season but its impossible. people go away, have families, change teams etc.
the idea is great, how you implement it and make the idea work i can not answer that.
would be awesome to see morphies and lofty play when they are both up and running at full strength.

[the big bang]

no i'm not a dis gruntled guy who couldnt cut it in the GSFL. i'm not claiming to be a star either,as a matter of fact, i dont mind telling you i only play B-grade in southern league.i'm just your average guy that wants to have a kick and a catch with my mates then have a beer afterwards. i have watched a lot of GSFL, specially willunga and myponga.and i seriously dont believe willunga would nearly match a top tier A1 side.i'll admit, i've watched games where it looks like they'd match it with some league sides! but more often than not, they look like they'd only be a middle-of-the-ladder in Southern or A1's.

[BJ Ernest]

i guess the problem with great southern is that langhorne and willunga were so far in front last year, and the 2 years before that noone could get close to willunga.
its hard for a side to play good footy week in and week out when there is never competition. morphies would have the same problem, with such a gap between challenging games its easy to do just enough.
theres alot more potential in those sides if they were under pressure week in and week out.

[thegossip]

sorry ordouble blue, may of not made it clear apart from maybe morphy Vale and maybe a couple of top teams for gambier. The rest of the teams would not get within 10goals, I know only trial games but Lofty struggles against shoc a div 2 team. Jervois who i have seen abit over last few years would stuggle with fitness again a div 1 team.

No worries mate. I know it would only be 2 at most from the Mount as even in that comp they stand out and beat some of the other WBFL teams quite easily.

id only consider sth gambier;
west are periannial bottom half, east were good in the 80s, nth are ok every few years but can never jag a premiership, millicent are like richmond & always finish 6th
portland & hamilton most consistant wbfl sides

Keep off the mushrooms mate unless you have played in the GSFL dont comment.I have seen some pretty crap footy in the SFL ,I will tell you that Willunga and Langhornes would be competitive in Div 1 amatuers and their reserves would push the bottom 4 Agrade sides in the SFL

New representative football concept
Tuesday, 03 April 2007
REPORT: Peter Argent

The Yorke Peninsula Football League’s representative jumper will now be taken out of mothballs and used in 2007. After the clubs voted for an end to association level football at last year’s AGM, the league has found a new concept for football on this stage.

They will play in the Landmark Cup at Snowtown Oval, on the Saturday of the June long weekend—June 9—against neighbouring associations, the Adelaide Plains, North East and Northern Areas.

This should be a good sounding board for these 4 comps, it would be interesting to see if other leagues want to do a similar thing.

[LaughingKookaburra]

Adelaide University (Strongest suburban football club in Australia,never dropped from amateur div 1 in 101 years!!)
Broadview (When was the last time they were in div 2...........?)
Morphett Vale (Arguably the strongest club in the state outside of the SAAFL,also the biggest suburb in Adelaide)
Reynella (The only team to beat Morphett Vale over the past 12 months and you should see their local derby,good footy)
Goodwood Saints (Premiers in the best local league in South Australia)
Barrossa Districts (Strong club in a strong league)
Happy Valley (Have not been a force for a few years,but always a flag threat and the most feared guernsey in the SFL)
Loxton North (Best and strongest club in the RFL,always knocking of sides from better leagues in trials)
Encounter Bay (With mods at full forward and Adam Heuskus they traditionally the strongest club in the gsfl)
Blackwood (Feild 4 competative senior sides in both Hills country and Hills Central)

may have missed a couple that people will dis-agree with,im going with the best sides year in/year out in the best leagues in SA

Adelaide Uni strongest suburban club in Australia, most ridiculous comment i've read on SAFooty EVER

How could you put Encountery Bay on the list but not Willunga Mods is at Keith this year, has probably never played in a team with Heuskes ever

No mention of any teams in the WBFL or the league itself

They have gone back to the old Queens Birthday comp, the way it was. The Mid North quit side will be selected from this competition. All they need now is for the YP to atually field a real side rather than a second rate one.

GWW,is it a crime to have an opinion? I did mention that people may not agree but no need to carry on. Pull your head out of your ass and realise it is not a crime to put across an opinion. Also find me a suburban football club with the same record as Adelaide Uni (In a league of the same standard) and get back to me about it. Take in to account the SAAFL has almost 70 teams.
