Salisbury North 3.4 4.8 6.14...6.15 (51)
Does this give any indication as to the standard of the BLG competition now??
Look forward to the comments on the comparisons of the Div 1 and BLG comps....
GWS beat the Swans does that make them a top 4 side ?
Gawler Centrals would play in the Div 1 grand final this year without doubt.
Would be the best country team in 2014 across whole state.
So they should when it will cost them near on $150,000 to put the team on the park for the year.
As for other teams in the BLG this year next 2 would be competitive in Div 1 but not paly finals and the other 5 would be mid Div 2 or high Div 3 IMO.
The depth of talented players is always better in the top A1 teams but don't kid yourselves the
A1 teams pay out as much as most of the BLG teams.
Hmmmm.....dunno about that one. Doubt there's any team in SAAFL paying 300/game per player over the 18 games. Which still doesn't come near the 150k/year.
As for Gawler Central! I spoke to the main man from sails nth today! and he did say that centrals should easily take the title out in the barossa league. They would likely go through undefeated he said.
But don't read too much into that game re the result against sails nth. If the game was played during the regular season, the difference in scoring shots would be a hell of a lot more.
And you've seen the sides like Henley, Goodwood, and that have you? They might have something to say about that too.
