2026 Adelaide Footy League - Division 5

[Jimmy_041]

Wont lie, initially I was a little dirty - mostly because I was hopeful of luring a few across to Ingle Farm.. but also a lot of is was FOMO on what Greenies were (potentially) getting - players, sponsors, money, equipment, volunteers..

But the longer the week goes on, the more content I feel - partly because Greenies aren't in D6 for starters - but for too long it's been spoken that we have too many clubs (particularly in that North-East region) and every year it's clubs fighting over players. Mawson Lakes have done well to survive as long as they have with no juniors and no atmosphere at their ground.

This merger / acquisition whatever you want to call it, won't make Greenacres some magical powerhouse, but it will make them structurally stronger and it'll hopefully have a flow on to other clubs in the area with one less club to compete for players with.

Stop being so positive and bring back angry Bedge. Dont let the A grade coaching role change you.

You're all so mean.

Can't wait to merge with Pooraka.. we can drop the Bulldogs from the 'farm and just be "Ingle Farm Bulls". Always hated the colour green too, so happy to swap that our for Blue or Red.

We will keep Lindblom though, can run half our juniors out of there during the season.

I think Poo Farm sounds better.

Any whispers on what the name of the new club will be?

What would all the Northern clubs do in the offseason then, with less clubs to steal players from?

Have it on good authority they'll be known as the Greenacres Dragons and wear black and green, and play at Edward Smith Reserve.

Only thing that will change is Mawson Lakes will be formally recognised within their constitution.

I'm considering re-naming them SPOS v2.5

Yeah that's not a merger. At all.

Can see what they are trying to do, and that's 0 point every Mawson lakes player Without changing the Dragons Identity. Cheeky and worth a try but defs not a merger lol
