Q as a captain or anyone with any empathy for for team mates or brothers will soon see that its not an enjoyable day out for the individual
Sitting more than a quarter on the bench is generally a depressing day out for anyone who busts his ass all week waiting for the big game on Saturday

consider henley and shocs, im sure each week up to 10 players at both clubs at present are being told, "nope sorry we cant fit u in this week" - so at 2 clubs alone a total of 20 footballers on a saturday afternoon are just sitting around wanting a game spectating, staying loyal hoping to get picked next week
what would the total amount be on a saturday afternoon across these divisions? with approximately 50 teams involved (D8, D8R, C1, C2, C3, C4)
would 50-100 players simply not playing each week due to not being picked??

ON Saturday for the first time I can remember we had to leave out one player from our D grade, we still have about 5 out from the D grade that will push more out barring injuries above. If we were in a 21 player comp we would have more each week - wouldn't be enough to field a 5th side though, not just the players but support staff are stretched thin as it is. We had about three guys play very little on the weekend but our game was a close one against Unley so this contributed - If we get the 5 I mentioned back in without injuries above there would be a higher amount of rotations off the bench IMO.
This is only a luxury most teams have at this time of year - wait till it gets cold and wet and injuries play more of a part, these guys become important.

We only had 18 to choose from Thursday night for the D grade, then 2 pulled out on friday. Called in some favours to get a side together to give SMOSH a game.
So technically we had about 16-18 players miss out on a game, but mostly through injury and work. When absolutely everyone is available in all grades I would say we would have 15 or so players miss out. The realistic chances of having no injuries or unavailability's higher up is about 0.0035%

A baby calve is a calve. The baby cows are going well - could say you have baby calves. Much much smaller than a normal baby cow.

We had this guy today - single worst umpire I have ever seen, it made no difference to our score line but he was disgraceful. At one point our ff was lining up for a goal and as he was walking in to take his shot this clown is in his face - I don't know what he was saying nor know why he needed to be there while he was having his shot. From where I was he looked as though he was walking alongside to put him off his kick - after he missed the goal our player had a crack at him and then got sent off. PNU are good enough side to win without the help of an umpire and IMO takes gloss away from the players who have a crack but will always be tarred with the "cheating" help from an umpire. It's just how it is in lower grades I know but I hate when these guys show an obvious bias to one particular side - I know we have had our fair share of ordinary umps - this is why I know that it can be just as embarrassing for the side they favour too. I know a few of pnus side felt this today.
No easy games at all in D8 and D8R so far this season - results are hard to pick and makes for a good comp. I am very sore tonight!
