It is what makes GSFL so much more of an enjoyable day as it has an entire community/town feel to it.


Conversely, the SFL clubs are going to have far too many juniors, if they're to align with the GSFL.

But would it need 20 clubs to make a two division Fleurieu Football League a viable proposition? Because I’m guessing 3 or 4 SFL clubs would be knocking on the AdFL door if any serious merge discussions commenced.

You're meaning the clubs with the strongest juniors set-up?

If that's the case, there's not a lot of reason to amalgamate, as they're the strongest senior clubs too

1000% agree with this

The junior set up in the SFL sucks too with games played on Sunday etc with no atmosphere, love the full schedule community feel the GSFL has.

Uhh, that's the overflow comp.

SFL Saturdays feature U13, U15, U17.5, Bs and As

Sundays is minis, C Grade, female footy and the "extras", who also head to the SANFL Juniors.

I understand that, I prefer the current set up in the GSFL where Moddies, Minis, JC, SC, B and A all play on the same day.

Its great seeing the Moddies and their parents stick around supporting and following the older grades and I would hate to lose that and have the moddies and minis relegated to a Sunday morning.

Round 8

Strath v Myp/Sel. - Strath surprised last week by being competitive against Victor. Mudlarks arnt firing on all cylinders but should still win this comfortably
Myp/Sell by 63 points

McLaren v GPE. - Non contest this one unfortunately
McLaren by 117 points

Victor v Willunga - A good test for Willunga to see where they're out? Victor to win with the margin dependent on what line up they have
Victor by 34 points

Yank v Creeks - Shouldn't be much in this. Yank had good form early in the season and with a bit of luck could've been pressing for a top 5 spot instead sitting in 7th on 2 wins. They've copped a few hidings the last month from the Top 3 teams which Creeks did as well when they played them. Creeks have been a bit depleted the last few weeks but get some important INs for this game which may be enough to get them over the line
Creeks by 14 points

Compass v Bays. The top 5 is probably set already and if Compass are any chance to break into it they simply have to win this. They're a chance for sure but Bays have the form to get the nod here
Bays by 26 points
