SAAFL Division 7 & D7R (2012)

Any ideas of venues for this weeks finals? When will we find out officially?

I would think TTG games at Thebby
If Angle Vale don't request home final then I would think Salisbury would be the best venue for this blockbuster

every team going into finals won last week

That would be nasty, EM, Mitchell Pk and Sacred Heart in Div 7 reserves going out to salisbury. They all might get lost.

Perhaps a triple header 2 x D7R & 1 x D7 game at Thebby
Owls v Spiders stand alone at Salisbury

I haven't been able to find out if angle vale requested to host the final. I thought if they didn't Salisbury oval would be the venue. Not sure of many other fenced ovals between us and angle vale.

Out of curiosity do clubs include finals in their BnF count?

The Lodge do

You can't buy a home final for B grade...they just play at the ground that the A grade corresponding final is played at.

However, for example, if Mitchell Park A grade play their 2nd Semi at home but the B grade is playing in the first semi, the league will normally try and keep clubs together, so they may get a home final on default.

Hope that makes sense

Oh, i didn't realise you can't buy one for B grade.

So does that mean that if we keep second spot and play Henley at a neutral ground, then there is a good chance that our reserves side will still play before us at the same ground against Mitchell Park?

You can request it by all means, and the league will try and accommodate where they can. Sometimes it just doesn't work out though, in 2008, we played a first semi in B grade at WOS and then had to run up to CLG to play in a 2nd semi in the A's - so it doesn't always work out, especially if your team finished lower in the B grade and it puts the higher finishing team at a disadvantage.

Here's one for you Footy Chick, TTG finished 2nd in the A so there the home team against Henley. Now Henley finished 2 in the B's and will be the home team against TTG. I know TTG can't have finals, but say if they did do they still use the rule that the B grade home team (Henley) ask to have the home team change rooms, which would mean that TTG would have to have the visitor rooms at there own home ground. I don't think any team has every asked for it but just wondering if they still have it as a rule.

Does not make sense IMO. The season is still going for all involved. I understand association medals as not every side is still going but club awards should surely include finals

Just because youve come good in the last two rounds!! You must have dominated the D2R medal.

Wont get a vote. Don't get votes in losing sides.

This usually comes up each year. Some clubs do, some clubs don't. Both have their resaons.

Hope Valley do and I believe your season ends when you play your last game of the year and thats when voting should end. Teams could potentially play 4 finals. I don't understand why those games wouldn't count towards your awarding your Best & Fairest player for the season? Each to their own though I guess

I agree with you S Demon but this topic was raised at the club recently. The only way I would think about not having the BnF count for finals was if we were going to have a "Player of the Finals" type award.

Salisbury do this if two or more finals are played.

Nah minor round only mate, and if there are two or more finals played, a 'Player of the Finals' is also awarded.

I guess Mitchell Park have been accustomed to not playing finals. Plus our Presentation night is 5 days after the GF and would make life tough organising trophys if we made the big one. When in Rome.

[morell]

Could you do your normal B&F and also have a "Best Finals Player" or similar?

I guess finals is where it matters. Anyone who plays well in that environment should be recognised.

Understand the logistical difficulties however.

[Goal side]

Hope flinders uni have alot of money ready to waste might want to do some homework on the so call players before you pay any money for them!
