SAAFL Division 7 2013

[tomo]

I can not see any issues that even warrant this discussion!, has anyone else noticed that flinders park (c and d grade) will be playing finals in div 7, Broadview (c grade are gonna get relegated to div , which will be an entire c grade comp other than Northpines who will also get relegated. Northpines are an A grade side, however they only won one game and I think Broadview even beat them.

That leaves Sacred Heart, who are still a chance to play finals, and Henley, who I thought were more than competitive! Henleys D grade is a chance to win the flag in div 7!!!!!

So why question the current system in place!!!!!

[Lightning McQueen]

North Pines wont get relegated.

[Phantom Gossiper]

I'm probably going to win the association medal

*edit* Just found out you have to play to get votes, only Chris Judd is exempt from this clause

My pick is Schultz (HD) & Pligl (IF) for a tie..

[Q.]

IMO we've shared the votes around. Powell would have been my tip, but has now missed three games in a row with injury.

North Pines wont get relegated as Div 8 is a C and D grade division. I suspect Broadview will go back to div 8 if they field 4 sides again and Im sure a clubs C & D grade sides from Div 8 will want to try its luck in Div 7 unless Ovingham can get 2 sides up and running.

[Animus]

Adelaide Uni looking like getting relegated from D6 to D7

if Uni's D8 team make the GF is there a chance they could all play in D7 next season?

Finn...would there be any contact in a AUFC vs AUFC game?

[Phantom Gossiper]

Finn...would there be any contact in a AUFC vs AUFC game?

They would actually probably play netball rules - no contact, obstuction and must be min 3 feet at all times from person with the ball

Like the NBA All-Star game. No defence!

[Q.]

Relegation/promotion doesn't strictly apply between D7 & D8 anyway.

So...

if the league opted for 9 teams per div (excluding div 1) this is what Div 7 would look like (with C-Grades playing elsewhere)

Mawson Lakes
Central United
Mitchell park
Ingle Farm
Houghton
Smithfield
Angle Vale
Flinders Uni
North Pines

what an awesome looking comp aye

Fitzroy
West Croydon
WOS
Lockleys
BOS
Mawson Lakes
Central Unt
Mitchell Pk
Ingle Farm
Angle Vale or Houghton Districts


Now that is an awesome Division. My humblest apologies to those clubs in the mix trying to change that result. Sorry marbles but at this time of year if you have a heartbeat, the only thing you are focussed on is promotion and relegation, AND FINALS. Your system is flawed and I give the league far more credibility than to go down it's path.

Now this makes more sense

[marbles]

Haha dont be so sure ingle farm will get back up there yet

And yankman u call the new system flawed, firstly how? And secondly how is the current system not flawed when 2 of the biggest clubs in the comp hav lost 25
Percent of its internal participation by having to drop their dgrades sides. Now thats a big chunk of ttg and broadview wiped off the map.

theres a big f##king hole in div 6 at this very moment cos cgraders were forced to play agraders... Blokes jumped ship and the league has lost 2 teams

Because my friend the SAAFL is about A grade and B grade clubs, and the rest is for fun. Full stop end of story.

exactly and i agree totally.... so let the gorillas play the gorillas (A-Graders), and let the codgers to play the codgers (C-Graders) down on the back paddock for fun, formally known as....

The C-Grade Super League!!!

heha lol

Yes that has merit. BUT let A grade clubs be down to at least Div 6. I am sure they have earned the right.

I can't speak for other clubs but I do know how hard mitchell park worked and recruited to get out of div 7. It's hard enough trying to recruit excellent players to a lower div and then having to tell them they'll be playing C grade sides every second week. It just shouldn't happen. As bad as this sounds I'm really happy to see Adelaide Uni drop out of div 6. All you have to do is see the turn around in their first and second games vs lockleys this season. It was a 185 point turn around. And also who kicked uni's goals that day. Pretty sure I seen him named in their div 1 side last week. Surely this isn't what A and B grade clubs want or have to expect to deal with.

well yeah more clubs the better, i mean bring brighton in and marion and all of them, im all about expansion for the league

bottom line is that there are 64 Agrade clubs, try to put them into 6 divisions... hence the structure to have 9 teams in each div from div 2 down to div 7

Div 1 = 10 teams
Div 2-7 = 9 teams each (All A-Graders)

(C-Grade Super Leagues) Div 8 to Div 9 = All C & D Grade clubs in a two tier division where Div 9 premier gets promoted to Div 8 to play the best of best in "C-Grades"

C1-C5 = Clubs with C-Grades only

[Yank Man]

Let's just focus on what the league actually has, and not what may or not be. Brighton in their current format would be Div 3 or 4 at best, and yes I have seen them this year. Marion wouldn't beat North Pines and would cop a spanking from the mighty Sharks 'D' grade. So don't hang your hat on average Southern clubs. Facts are Div 1 to 6 is fine, so keep on keepin' on.

We didnt win 2007.
