SAAFL Div 7 & 7R (2009)

[Keepitreal]

Finn

Brahma Lodge are definitley in Div 6 & either Houghton or Helnley will be with them - all because of the Edwardstown move
Div 7 will be a mixture as usual

Houghton will not nominate to stay up, have lost players and came last will only be in for another hard season and much the same result unless they can recruit strongly & Henley will not go up exercising their right to stay down being C & D grade sides.

Keepitreal

I think you will find that Henley will have to go up if Houghton dont want to stay up - the rule only works if both clubs agree - at least thats how I had it explained to me from a very smart club operator out Salisbury North way

Maybe smart operator but not have all the answers being a poor historian, happened end of season 03 Paralowie in div 7 finished 3rd Henley were runners up & surprise, surprise declined promotion, Paralowie were asked by saafl to up to div 6, but guess it doesn't matter either way as will find out from saafl soon enough

[cataroo]

ovingham will have 2 sides next year

The rule is you cant do it 2 years in a row

Let Moorey know we look forward to seeing him out on the track......if he decides that the Pines is the place for him.
We are glad he enjoyed the atmosphere.

['00'02'03'07]

He told me that he has already made up his mind that he will be playing out at the Pines next season.

we've made no signings Milo as we don't pay anybody

[Bigshow82]

Hey Riddler will you blokes still be playing your games at St Pauls School Oval? I heard a rumour that you guys may be playing out at Mawson Lakes.

[Q.]

Quichey - you got a replacement for Starry??

As I've stated before he's pretty much irreplaceable, not just because of his potential but because he plays for free.

We'll work with what we've got. Hopefully Brett Whales has another year with us, he could slot in nicely down there.

[gothebombers]

then the grade might be....ovies,nth pines, houghton, st pauls , flinders uni, adel uni,angle vale, mitchell pk as an 8 team A and B grade comp..and 9 if wingies have 2..i doubt theyll put any of the other c and d grade teamsfrom last year in as henley and shoc are all div 1 with 4 teams so and also modbury ttg are div 1 and smosh and athelstone are div 2 with 4 teams, mitcham are div3 golden grove div 4 are the other sideswith 4 teams, prob should bring back c6...should look like....modbury henley shoc ttg c1 and c6 or even c5(as c5 looks doomed)athelstone c2 and c5/6 , smosh c2 and c5/6 mitcham c3 and c5/6 ggrove c4 and c5/6.....dont be surprised if they go something like this

I'd suggest Angle Vale, Flinders, Houghton, Mitchell Park, St Pauls, Brahma Lodge (or Henley), North Pines, Ovingham.
possibly Wingfield & Adelaide Uni

I'd suggest SHOC would head to c1 & c5, Athelstone to c2 &c5, smosh to c3 & c5 (unless they stay in div 2 then c2 & c5). I'd also suggest that we may see uni's c1 team head to c2 to reflect the division 2 sides.

Unless of course the saafl bring div 8 & 8res which would see ttg, modbury, golden grove, athelstone, shoc, smosh, adelaide uni, mitcham as the sides with 4 or more grades.

I personally like the reflective system in that it gives c grade players the occasional opportunity to play with the higher grades in triple headers which I'm yet to hear a bad word about.

gee finn , its almost word for word what i wrote..the c2 uni side from last year, what was their story. did they play out the season....but your right that the c1 uni side should be in c2 next year to mirror your As. b lodge will be in div 6

[finn]

c2 uni side is from roseworthy - struggle for numbers during holidays as most go home to various towns but they finished 4th.

[The Riddler]

Hey Riddler will you blokes still be playing your games at St Pauls School Oval? I heard a rumour that you guys may be playing out at Mawson Lakes.

A decision hasn't been made yet, the club still has a few things to sort out but as soon as something is decided I'll let everyone know.

[Q.]

Don't do it Riddler!! We are hoping for at least one close away game next year

[Footy Chick]

St Pauls would be closer than Mawson Lakes wouldn't it? Just a short trip down Grand Junction Road..

[Q.]

Sure is FC. "Don't do it..." as in don't go to Mawsons.

[milo keraghan]

haha!!!your a deadset cat riddler!!!

Oops, read it wrong... I thought you said "do it!"

[ballbags06]

Flinders Uni have been training for about a month now, good commitment from a div 7 side. Have a couple of Seaton A grade players and a ruckman who has won a few premierships with Willunga training. Dont know about the Willunga lad but the boys from Seaton are pretty keen.

['00'02'03'07]

cool if they have a few ex seaton a graders then they should be competitive this year then. What are their overall numbers like?
