X, why not just name the club?


It's only my opinion from what I have seen, I could be way off the mark but I doubt it. Let's just say it won't be the Southern Eucalypts


But there isn't any Southern Eucalypts in the comp. :roll:

Indeed, with the demise of Ovingham you'd suspect they'd be the next bottle to fall

North Pines must have won x-lotto on the weekend, some big clearances in today.


I think you will find they were just holding on to them, either deliberately or lazily .
They had the bye last week so had an extra week to enter them

I've heard the league officially offered Kilburn the chance to move to Div 7 yesterday, but was politely declined by the club.

Yup think this is probably the biggest reason. They can cop hidings this season in Div 3, but next year they can look to rebuild and recruit, knowing it's easier to get back to the like of div 3 from div 4 than it is from div 8.

Biggest challenge now is to fight out the season..

I agree. They get a few in either this week or next week due to lads that go to uni and have been away.

Its his opinion LM and he can't be begrudged it (and I'd bet my house that it's not only his opinion either)

Every team has their reasons for doing what they're doing because they validly believe the decision they've made will keep their club alive.

Kilburn believe that going down will kill their club.

Brahma believed the opposite.

Perhaps everyone should be saving their praise or condemnation until we find out which one worked

To add smiley faces to a comment regarding a team folding is poor form, that's my opinion.

Brahma & Kilburn's woes have been brought on by themselves to some degree but we all live and learn, I'm sure they had some great Saturday nights over the past few years and some reunions to be had in the future.

omg a whole thread was created to push the notion that 50 goal thrashing cannot continue, and a even a poll to further express that everyone believe its BS that theyre still in div 3 with less than one side. the threads existence is to have them removed. i merely an observer, and its the clubs payment **** ups that has dug this hole

my projection is purely mathematical

i bet putting them in div 7 would even give wingfield a win :D
