HFL Division 1 (Central)

[bazzw]

Yep these players have all played throughout the finals in the B grade, which was fine when the A Grade were also in. Apparently they all required permits when the A Grade were knocked out, which looks like nobody was aware of. Was anybody aware of this rule? Pretty stupid rule but I guess rules are rules.

[Armytank]

Yep, well aware of this rule, as everyone else in the hills are. I cannot believe that two years in a row Mt Lofty can make an error like this.

I wonder how long it will take for someone to blame Ironbank for this

And you speak for the rest of the hills now?

Perhaps I could have worded that better, my apologies to anyone who thought I was speaking for them.

But if they didn't know the rules this year they must have their head in the sand, especially considering last years situation.

It is a pretty simple rule really and all officials at clubs should understand it. When both teams are playing players can shift between grades at any time. If the A Grade are knocked out players in the Bs have to have played more B grade games than A grade games unless a permit is sought due to injury or work commitments etc and is granted by the HFL.

Simple as that!!

andrew moulds from uraidla got a permit if needed so they obviously new the rules. lofty should have too

Have enjoyed my time playing footy, even thinking about going again but reconsidering. Not in this league.

Ol maggie master! You must feel like a right Knob! All ya banter and you couldn't even GET THERE!!! Some other poster wrote "I'd rather make finals that be a side that doesn't" What a lot of dribble. If ya make finals and lose - IMO ya just get thrown into the same bucket as all other sides for that year. Harndorf, Lofty all in the bucket with Bridgeys and birdwood and Lobey!!

well maybe just keep ur opinion to yourself cos u obviously have no idea.. maybe learn to spell harndorf (assume ur talking about hahndorf) before u waste ur own time commenting .. comparing hahndorf and lofty with bridgy and lobethal is absurd.. no one shows any form of respect to the bottom few clubs as they do not warrant it...yet im sure every club out there wouldnt enjoy coming up against the top 4 sides in the league cos they are on a diff level to the rest..

Good 2 see the crows boys having their mad Monday up in the hills. good work lads

So its the leagues fault you guys broke the rules two years in a row?????

Note to Uraidla

stop Gigney & Roach = win

It's not rocket science

well that is un under statement. every team knows this plan but no one has been able to stop them yet. and i cant see uraidla being able to either. who plays on these forwards from the uri backs? because blackwood still have some handy rotating midfeilders down there that have to be watched also.

as The King once said,
"It's a lot easier to punch the ball then to mark it".

I'm not aware enough of the Uraidla backline to know for sure, but sacrifice a defender who sticks with Gigney while he tries to slut off the packs, and put Loffler on Roach and you'll be gravy.

It must be tough without the red squiggly line

the rules are very interesting. I can not see why a player who has qualified for B grade finals by playing x number of games in the B grade and then has played ALL their finals in B grade and NONE in A grade (ie Fleet, Broadbridge and Stapleton) needs a permit to continue playing B grade finals if the A grade is knocked out? This makes absolutely no sense at all.

Have to agree with you lovin. Even after they changed it it still doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Fair enough, I'm not saying its a good outcome for anyone......but I still don't see how you can have a go at the league for enforcing a rule that has been in place since the start of the season or more likely a number of seasons.......especially after last year.

I think you've misunderstood that bit (or I have).......as they had played more A grade than B grade they hadn't qualified for B grade finals

This is it exactly.....As I understand i they had not qualified for the B grade finals by playing more games in the Bs then the As throughout the year. Thus when the As were knocked out they needed a permit.

Except Chequebook Valley and Kersbrook

Here's a tip for Lofty coaching staff: http://www.4eb.net/hfl/L4GamesTYr.asp

Select Mt Lofty and search through the players list to see who's played more A grade games than Bs. Fleet, Broadbridge and Stapleton clearly all played more A grade games. Next, get a permit if the As are out...

Now that we all know this it will never happen again to any club.......?

[peekay]

Yes we understand that we got it wrong but what I still don't understand is that the HFL knew these players had to get a permit on the Friday and did not notify us.
