They have had some good players come through since they have come into div 1 however they always treat local talent poorly and treat their recruits like buddy franklin, yet none ever live up to the reputation they give themselves. Recruiting from low divisions and a bad coach doesnt help. So many good players from aldinga playing in good sides in other leagues because they get looked after. AFC needs to have a hard look at itself, so many years of bad decisions. Massive cleanout needed so the club can go in a new direction. Aldinga used to be a SFL power, through the 30s they need to get back there for the betterment of the SFL.

Get your facts right mate. Aldinga had a good period in the late 80s and for periods in the 90s but that was in Div 2 so hardly an SFL power. I played in trials against Aldinga and Div 1 SFL teams during the late 80s and Aldinga were still a fair way off the better Div 1 teams. Unless the Aldinga area gets a public high school to keep locals away from Willunga High and the Willunga FC, then it will continue to be a challenge for the Sharks.

It is the silly season so lets get facts on the table.
Golding has retired and all at the Shoe thank Matt for his service and congratulate him in his new role as forward coach at South Adelaide.
Comer,Tasker and Peachy will continue on at the Shoe.
Sargood signed for 2k per week with $AM in the bush at that league I cant recall the name.
Carter has a teaching role in NSW.
Bowd at Hackham :rolleyes:


With Comer going on, does that mean NFC will have an over 45's side this year?
Good on him for going around again!![/quote]

heard tonight at the emu that they also have a new coach with mitton acting as mick malthouse to all grades?

people are dying everyday, and you guys deem celebrations and happy times in peoples lives, as false and impure

next season could be your last and if you win the div 2 flag then you conquered every challenge put to you and my friends you deserve a massive week on the piss you also deserve season of memories to cherish for the rest of your life

if the whole of the SFL is as bitter as you two fellas then good times are far far away for anyone

football = recreation

recreation is a happiness that takes our minds away from the fact we're all dying

dont deny the greatness of achieving all that can be achieved, as you are belittling those who are already dead.

OK. You've either still been on a bender for way too long, or you have lost your namesake.
On one hand you say football is a recreation and on the other you talk about the ":greatness of achieving all that can be achieved". Which is it?
And yes, we are all dying, or you can look at it the opposite way is that I am living longer every day. No bitterness here, just reality.

you blokes would win a division 2 grand final and after the game would refuse to sing the song, you'd proceed straight to change rooms, pack up then drive home.

"sorry fella's its not a flag its an 11th, as i refuse to enjoy this achievement, it is deplorable and im going home immediately, do not expect to see me at club tonight, im going home to polish my garden gnomes, will see you all next season"

I can only prey for the great supporters & volunteers of the mighty marion rams that someone at their club is pushin for a spot in saafls div 7 next year to become a club of hope, excitement and sheer belief where good times and growth are immediately in reach. Rather than staying dormant and useless to constisent routine defeats in aleague that is content to reward only the richest and maintain the weak entities as prisoners set for a long continual decade ahead of grinding deprivation with zero hope full of regular disapointing and sour nights at the football club for all players, families and friends week after week

I actually do agree with what Marbles is saying. Whats the point of playing against teams that are that far above what you can do, its not funny.

I played for Hackham for 3 years in between playing for North Haven, and I got pumped week after week, no matter how much effort I put in. I could hardly walk after the games, and fell asleep as pressos most weekends because I was that exhausted. We had our first win in years against Aldinga while I was there, and it felt like we won the grandy.

Having gone back to the SAAFL, where things are done way better in relation to equalisation of divisions based on performance, I can appreciate how ****** the SFL is in relation to that. What is the point of slogging away, week after week, knowing there's no chance you will win, no matter how hard you play. Poor performances lead to trouble with recruiting kids, and better players from other clubs/leagues to play for you.

At least if teams are playing competitive footy in a lower division, there are both wins and loses and the morales better. People arent playing half the season and then packing it in because there's no point.

The SFL is never going to get better if the attitude is that Div 1 football is all that matters.

I am starting to put you in the same boat as Marbles, I'd be worried if I were you. No one has said don't celebrate success, you and Marbles seem to be hanging on to that notion, what we are saying is moving a club to an easier competition is not the right way to go about obtaining success. As for your statement about Div 1 being all that matters, the entire Ammos set up is centred around teams gaining promotion to obtain Div 1 success so I'd hardly think that is any different to any SFL clubs aspirations.

I don't know too many other situations in life that when things get too hard you can just choose to do an easier job/course and get the same result so why would this be any different?

Answer me this, Marion go to Div 7 get to the GF and lose but still go up to Div 6 and things get that little bit harder, again. Do you hang around or join another club in Div 7 so you can chase that flag?

Would have no problem with a club moving for financial reasons or even to bolster their chances of retaining juniors. If the main reason to go is to have a small chance of a flag, at most likely the detriment of your junior program, then it is a ridiculous suggestion. Marion is the only weak club at the moment that might benefit from a move to Div 7 the others would just lose juniors to other local clubs.

I agree, moving JUST to win a flag in a low division is stupid.

Its about playing where you can compete, so you're not wasting everyones time. Moving up the divisions takes time. Years and years. But if you're make a GF in Div 7, theres excitement and pride around the club. That motivates people to strive for more success. Instead in the SFL, things get stale, people stick with the same old way of doing things. The gap gets larger and larger. Then its going to be a struggle to get any low team competitive and keep growing into a decent team. They may have a good year or two, but then things just revert back to the same old ways.

Its really hard to attract players to teams that get belted every week. I know. I was very close with the people at Hackham that were doing that impossible job. But I know of teams in the lower divisions of the SAAFL that attract some good players, as well as develop their own, and make big runs at moving up the divisions.

I reckon if Marion do move to the SAAFL, they will win more games, retain more players, RECRUIT more players, develop juniors and have more success in holding onto those players. Over the first few years they could build a good foundation for a successful club.

playing for a footy club isnt free, ya gotta pay up to play ie membership fees & subs

without this revenue, clubs wouldnt exist

now if your a committee that has decided "well we'll take your money to play with us, but you gonna get zero success here cos we aint gonna make sacrifices to provide u with a chance of the ultimate success, we'll just take your money so we can survive and your gonna get lots of disapointment here buddy

isnt that a betrayel to the commitment of the client? isnt that poor customer service?

if your in a pool of juggernauts where your no chance of success for next decade, and down the road theres a whole other pool of battlers who play the game at a level you can compete, then isnt it an obligation on behalf of your clients to go play with the boys who are your own size? else if this whole time your committee ignores this alternative for a decade of disapointment, shouldnt every player be refunded due to failure to provide the best footballing environment possible in the area

otherwise your just like a water bottle company who making u pay for spring water and all the client recieves is crappy tap water

So what you are saying marbles is.....Port Magpies have been shocking for a few years now and they have no chance of winning an sanfl flag in the near or far future.

Do they head back to the ammos in search of div1 success.

Think not.

You say the powerhouses of the SFL are consistently successful and they are the only teams that can win a flag.
Reynella in the 90's were terrible, both Mvale and Happy Valley have also had some pain too.

Your arguments are crap!
