Southern Football League

[Front & Centre]

I understand and agree with most of OME points,however Morphett Vale as a suburb is the largest post code in Adelaide and has the most schools of any suburb. On top of this the average housing price there is very attractive to younger families. They have an extremely large advantage to begin with so as much as I respect what Morphett Vale have accomplished due to well directed hard work their challenges on a basis of consistency are a lot different to the large majority of other clubs.......

And yet Morphett Vale are not able to field 5 teams on Saturday without combining with another club for an 18s team...

Anyone want to take a guess at how many clubs will be able to field 5 Saturday teams this season without combining with another club? Here's my prediction. Makes for interesting discussion

Yes
Happy Valley
Reynella
Brighton
Christies
Flagstaff

No
Morphett Vale
Cove
Noarlunga
Aldinga
Port Noarlunga
Lonsdale
Marion
Edwardstown

Unknown
Hackham
Morphy Park

5 Team Division 1?

Seriously though, one year on since the Future Directions recommendations were "voted" down, this just shows how short-sighted that decision was. I didn't expect it to fall apart so quickly though, we haven't even lasted a year.

Failure to change is failure to survive.
As we have seen, change is not mandatory, but neither is survival.

Interesting to see Cove/MV 18's today in SFL maroon/white jumpers...is it going to stay that way all season?

Lonsdale over Aldinga today in the As great win Lonsdale you didn't need crawf to help you guys get back on track, did it the hard way with hard work.

Lonsdale over Aldinga today in the As great win Lonsdale you didn't need crawf to help you guys get back on track, did it the hard way with hard work.

Great win to come back from 6 goals down at half time to win by 3 goals. The guys seemed fitter than previous years.

One game is one game, but when you didn't win One last year it is something more. Probably even more so for Ross who cops a bit of
Flak. Be interesting to see if they can beat more than just the Sharks...

Not sure if serious...

It's certainly what is on their fb page. I've never thought that much of the guys in charge pf the SFL, but I couldn't see even them approving the entry of the Royals. it would have to be a bridge to far even for them.

There was some talk of a C-Grade only enquiry, did not know it had been approved

Flaggies over Cove by about 6 goals yesterday, without M Carey or Shearer x 2, early days but look to be playing better than last year. R1 is going to be a cracking opening day at the pig pen.

Any other trial results? Heard the Winefiles got up over Broadies

[beer tent]

Hear the same thing has happened at the shoes in-terms of the SFL agreed to a points allocation over a couple of years, now a few player retirements, player movements/crows reserves and season injuries that are all 0 or low points. Guess H.V lost a few 0 pointers also by what was said on the previous page with retirements/guys moving on and as you said with Christies having allocated points agreed upon, kind of screws up your recuriting plans, I see a crate left christies pressumably 0 points so that effictively costs you six points to replace that player, doesn't seem fair really.

Noarlunga have not applied for points as such , just want the 14 as agreed with the SFL last season , to then be told its 12 by the board , it just hogties clubs that put in the hard yards to attract good players to the League[/quote]

Brighton had a great day of games down at the Shoe oval on Saturday. Was good to watch all games, and all were played in good spirit. Brighton won the A grade by about 5 goals in the end I believe. Noarlunga were without Johncock, Comer and Minns, and seemed to have a a bit more trouble than last year in the ctr.There was some good ball movement from both sides though. I think our guys will be more competitive this year by the looks of things. Looking forward to seeing what round 1 has in store for us. I would be interested to hear a Noarlunga perspective on the game!?

Ladder predictions for 2015

Reynella - will only lose 1 or 2 games all year
Morphett Vale - will be the only team to beat Reynella
Noarlunga - injuries the key not far away from top 2
Flagstaff Hill - improvers into top 4
Happy Valley - 1st round against Falcons is big but must cover some off season losses
Brighton - on the improve and added to list this season
Port Noarlunga - same as Shoes any injuries will decide big games, great year last year
Christies Beach - can they close the gap on the top 6

Morphettville Park - depth an issue, good players quality but getting older
Cove - some losses to cover bit of an unknown but a young team
Hackham - have they covered the losses from pre-season to win enough games, tougher draw
Marion - lots of new players, depth an issue
Edwardstown - solid squad the last few years, 1st round against Marion must win
Lonsdale - big win round 1 always give it a crack at home
Aldinga - lots of new players and new coach would like to win more than 3 games but might struggle

That is a fair review. My feeling is Reynella, Morphett Vale and Flaggies are the teams to beat this year. I only hope we see less one sided results this year. Hopefully the teams in the bottom half of the ladder all play competitive football and continue to fill numbers for A's and B's both weeks which I know for some teams towards the end of last year was beginning to be a struggle.

A few clearances from Edwardstown to Marion, not sure what is the go there. But then again Marion seem to have a few ins as well from all over.

Well done to OSB Lonsdale for Saturday, you can only imagine how the team song would have been belted out by the boys.

I thought Comer retired?[/quote]

Might have.. I am not sure, they were just just the noticeable absentees as compared to last years team. I think Minns has moved on as well, but my comment was aimed at the fact they were not there.

Agree good post Keyser. And the ol box on the hill : at the lion's den would of been rocking Sat night! .rinkers

Reynella M/vale Flaggies Noarlunga for me this year- These 4 have put a gap on some of the others in my opinion.
Porties closest of rest in 5th.
Valleys to drop in 2015, whole spine not playing this year, tough to cover senior key position players. Will be a battle between HV, Bombers, Saints, Twisties to make up 6th -8th, 2 will miss?? think it will be tight year with the final 5-8 spots decided last few rounds, bring on 2015.

Morphies my big improvers. With the return of various Sampson's and Bennet's if they are fit all year they are a tough outfit.
