How is 3rd v 6th better than 4th (Trinity) v 1st (Ingle Farm). Expect TOS v Ingle Farm to be a very close contest. Should be a cracker

Ingle Farm would be starting firm favourites I would think..

Thought I'd seen most things in a football game...until Nick Leck went for an attempted atomic wedgie of one of our players during a tackle and ripped his jocks clean off, leaving him and I laughing at his fistful of red underpant.

CLG's B grade side was pretty good on the weekend. Had a couple of blokes worth points playing in their B's which probably helps

Our club has played in nearly every div over the past 5 years and I think the premiers of a B grade comp would be very competitive (top half) in an A grade comp 2 divs below and would back the B grade premiers to win an A grade flag 3 divs below

....but you haven't played in Div 6. Recent history shows you have to be a very good side to win a premiership in Div 6 and all of the teams that have been promoted give good accounts of themselves in Div 5. The grand finalists over the past 3 years are;
2015 Smithfield v Lockleys (both unbeaten in Div 5)
2014 Blackfriars v Rosewater (Blackfriars 3rd and Rosewater 6th following year in Div 5)
2013 Westminster v CLG (WOS premiers and CLG 3rd following year)
A 3R or 4R side might be competitive against some of the poorer performing Div 6 sides, but seriously let's not think they could beat the top sides. The Blackfriars Div 6 from 2014 was sensational and no 3R or 4R side would have got near them.

wholeheartedly agree. While our B grade has been successful at both div 6 and div 5 level over the last 3 years. It's ridiculous to say that we would get within a bulls roar of a Brahma Lodge or Ingle Farm this year. Even knocking off a Houghton or Salisbury West would be highly unlikely IMO.

PAOC and Unley are C grade sides and they are knocking off A grade teams currently in Div 7

There may not be a huge separation from Div 5 and Div 6, but I don't think you appreciate the strength and depth of the strong clubs in the 2s and 3s.

I don't know much about the div 6 clubs, but I do know clubs in Div 4 and 5 and they would really struggle against reserve sides from slightly higher up. Say Pembroke have the best Div 3R , I think they would beat, or at least be super competitive with a Glenunga or Pulteney in Div 5 and beat top sides in Div 6.

PAC and our C grades would probably take some games of clubs in Div 6 given there results so far in Div 7. PACs 2s last in Div2R would have had a serious game with Salisbury in Div 4.

Exactly. They are winning by a lot too. PAC C grade would be very competitive in Div 6

I'm sorry this hits a nerve with you and and others in DIv 6... but that's not what I said....LOL.

The Div 4R premier would be very competitive in Div 6.
I would back the Div3R premier to win Div 6.

Sorry I misinterpreted - I took 2's and 3's as D2 and D3 - not B and C grade..

Posted: **Tue Apr 12, 2016 5:08 pm**

I don't think a C-Grade of a Div 1 club has ever played finals in D6.

So the statement "The Div 4R premier would be very competitive in Div 6" is massive stretch of the imagination.
