Was a great D7 side.
Bloke whose played all his career in D7, have you even seen D2 or 3? That's a pretty outlandish comment to be making, how do you even justify that?
Mazey - just kicked 40 goals for Happy Valley and got named in the best 10 times - would be an instant pick in any D2 or D3 side
Potuszynski - played a season for Happy Valley and kicked 16 goals in 14 games. In 2012 would've been first 21 in D2 or D3 easily.
Harrison - played a couple of seasons at Christies Beach and I think finished very high in their B and F. D2 or D3 quality player in 2012, easily.
Daish - played for Aldinga, Hackham and OSB over the journey. Would be a D3 pick pretty easily.
Ortmann - played A Grade for Port Noarlunga for many years - might've been a bit old in 2012 for D2 but would've slotted into D3.
Typical attitude about the lower grades though, it's not the top end of teams that have a lack of ability, most D6 and D7 sides would have 5 or 6 that could play much higher. It's after those where the depth plummets and the overall standard drops.

So did these guys stick around the next season or leave?morell wrote:Messrs Mazey, Potuszynski, Harrison, Daish and Ortmann would've all fit quite comfortably into a Div 2 or 3 side at the time. Plus all the old Mitchell Parkers - Luke Mac, Sarge, Jezza...
Or are you saying now that a D6 side is as good as a D2 side?morell wrote:Still amazes me to this day that our 2012 side won in a canter and has multiple 30+ goal victories in D7, we added some real quality to that squad, and still went nowhere in D6 in 2013

Out of the 2012 side I think Daish broke his ankle from memory. Orts stopped playing. Harro was appointed coach and I think struggled with the workload. Potters played. Mazey played but broke his wrist i think.no_remorse28 wrote:So did these guys stick around the next season or leave?morell wrote:Messrs Mazey, Potuszynski, Harrison, Daish and Ortmann would've all fit quite comfortably into a Div 2 or 3 side at the time.

That '12 MPFC side was absolutely dominant. We smashed sides quite routinely by 30 goals. It wasn't your standard D7 team.no_remorse28 wrote:I know there are plenty of players running around lower divs who could play higher, I was just surprised that half a dozen from a D7 side were rattled off and that you believed they would 'comfortably' slot into a D2 or D3 side.
I wasn't questioning that they could play higher, was surprised over the comfortably part - it's a massive jump.
