Re: SAAFL Division 3 2014

I think this is a bit hard to cop with Brahma Lodge electing to stay down. In my opinion the club had built its successful years based upon recruiting players from other clubs with there money and having a couple of successful seasons.

Did the club recruit guys who would stay around the club in the long haul or just jump ship when more money was offered?

Did the club build a culture where the players want to stay at the club no matter what money was thrown around by others?

Now Brahma Lodge are in the same position of many other clubs in the area who don't have the money to pay the same amount as Brahma had done in the past and are asking to stay down?

Is it a right to have a successful season each year or do you have to take the pain to make the successful seasons feel better.

I think Brahma should be made to stay up and feel the pain that a lot of other clubs have felt in the past.

Re: SAAFL division 6 2014

And there second choice ruckman wouldn't be going anywhere as he has played there for years and been training hard this season.

Not too sure who u think is the second choice ruckman?
Thought Nathan was #1 and Rhett was #2?

Oh Rhett, he played one year at Mawsons with a few C grade games, a few B grade games and a couple of A grade games.

I thought Chilli was #2

Re: Your guide to ANZAC day matches

Here is a simple question i would like to know the answer too.

If it isnt a money making exercise to play on the day before 12, then why do it?

IMO people should pay there respect to those that served and gave us the life we enjoy today.

And dont tell me playing a Div 712 game of footy at 10.15 in the morning is paying respect.

Re: Your guide to ANZAC day matches

Was once a special day to play. Now seems more unique to play on the Saturday. Should only be local rivalries or GF replays. Some of the games being played are just ridiculous.

I agree. Should be no more than 1 per division and the preference should be given to the Grand Final replay.

I agree also, too many clubs just see it as a chance to make money which is a disgrace.

Re: SAAFL Division 7 2014

i hope this week u realise that once a player plays in the higher div, throughout the major round, he is no by permitted to return back to the lower division

meaning once you play A's in the finals, by no way can you return to the bgrade

Incorrect


to my knowledge if both grades play on the same weekend, yeah he can play.
once you play in a losing A grade final you cant go back the following week to play B's.
if thats worth anything.
Yes you can if you have played the majority of you games in the season in the B grade.

Re: SAAFL Division C4 - 2014

Congratulations to Mawson Lakes on their fine efforts in making the C4 Grand Final by winning every final game by 10 goals after only winning 10 games in the regular season (one was a forfeit) and twice having to forfeit themselves, strangely enough against Lockleys & Ingle Farm. Fantastic turn around =D>

And the problem is, our B grade made the finals, we picked our B grade team to play and the guys who wernt picked then played C grade final, the B grade lost by a goal i think it was..

Were we supposed to tell these guys not picked by the B grade that they cant play C grade?

Re: Ch9 AFL Division 3 - 2015



If Kilburn and Brahma Lodge come out and win premierships in 2015 with a bunch of fresh players the situation will only become even more comically farcical than it was in 2014

Does the above actually apply to Kilburn though?....They just got relegated in consecutive seasons to end up in div 4.....If they get a team together and crack it for a flag in 2015.....not to much wrong in that I would think.....unless you were making a point other than being assigned a Division for whatever reasons.


No different to payhnam in recent years really. May not have got flogged by as much but they flew up divisions then crashed back down just as fast and have now risen again.
You don't go down 3 divisions in a row with out losing a whole bunch of players each year. And ya don't come back up unless you get players back of fresh new faces . Good on kilburn and brahmas if they can win the premierships this year

Brahma's situation is different, they are selecting which grade to be in, they should be in Div 4 this season instead of Div 6 .[/quote]

Sometimes you just have to bite your tongue, very easy for a few guys to go back there now knowing they are in Div 6. Well done Kilburn.

Re: Ch9 AFL Division 6 - 2015

I can understand why BL have taken the road they have, yes, they will cop some criticism, but having done it the hard way previously with Lockleys, It definitely took its toll on the committee, and the players. In saying that, Lockleys have had an amazing turn around since the early 2000's. In 2000, we finished third in div 4, but then followed a mass exodus of players back to the country. In 2001, we didn't win a game, 2002 we won 1 game, found ourselves in div6 with a very limited junior program. To the credit of all involved, a great deal of hard work from loyal club people, worked tirelessly to really kick start the juniors. I'm not sure of the numbers they have now, but Lockleys are seeing those kids, now coming through, and playing some really good senior footy, and now have consistent numbers for 3 senior sides . They did it the hard way, and I'm really sure all that hard work will see them gain the success they deserve over the coming years.

And that you can respect, not clubs who just bring out the big cheque book and then rub it in the faces off clubs who don't think people should be getting paid in Div 6.

These blokes who jump from club to club for money are just killing the hard work of loyal club men.

To be honest and i probably live in dream world, but in Div 6 i don't think anyone should be paid.

I think you can look after subs and throw in a club polo and that.

Give a beer card for use Sat night after the game and 3,2,1 for the best A graders.

Yes my club will be in for a tough season but at least you will have players at the club playing for the right reasons and enjoying there football with mates.

If clubs are going to base there success on how deep there pockets are then we are in a lot of trouble.


If you are good enough to demand big money in this grade how about you go play a higher grade and test yourself?

Re: Ch9 AFL Division 6 - 2015

there really was only 1 who played c grade all year that was A grade quality and that was Clegg. O'Gorman played c's as it was his first attempts at playing after serious knee surgery. Reid is a near on 50yo who, once injured, decided to play the last qtr of the yr with his fellow 50yo mates because they all prob will retire. And nisbet played C's because McCammon was the A grade ruckman and Santos was the B grade ruckman.

Clegg wanted to play with his best mate Nisbet. We'd much rather them play together in the C's rather than leaving altogether.

any other stupid questions?

Clegg played 6 C grade games after joining the club mid season, Rob O played 5 C grade games and Reidy played 7 C grade games then they all played finals.
Reidy works away quite often and is a old hack these days, Shannon joined the club mid season and Rob O was coming back from a knee re construction.

Re: Ch9 AFL Division 6 - 2015

On another note about Mawson Lakes so called stacking up their C grade towards the end of the home and away season. They did nothing wrong by the league. Its allowed for every club to play players in any grade the players feel like playing in (he he he bit of a tongue twister). If that player has the skill to play in a higher grade but chooses to play with his mates. Or if he hasnt been available for most of the seasaon due to work or family committments. Well that's their choice and no-one should say a bad thing about it.
I say congrats to the C grade and Rob would've been feeling quite good about his chances with the list of quality blokes at his disposal. Any club would do the same if they were in the same position. There is no rule that says you cant have quality players playing a lower grade. As long as they play the right amount of games to qualify for finals then they are doing the right thing. I say to those on here that are whinging about Mawson stacking their C grade. GET OVER IT.
I know that at least two players where granted qualifications/permits because of a flaw in the Sporting Pulse system that allowed Mawson Lakes to submit teamsheets for their forfeits gifting them enough games to tip the scales in their favour. Probably a few others managed to get enough "games" this way as well.

Also if you want to keep going over old ground maybe if you didn't run up and down the wing complaining about it all game and actually got the footy things may have been different.

Brahma Lodge by a country mile in div 6 dont think any team stands a chance against them
LOL! So cute... Brahma Lodge pussy cats - average team, full of above average attention seekers, coached by a glory hunter who failed at two clubs in the past two seasons in THE SAME DIVISION.

Winning the flag is nothing to hold your hat on knowles - no different to forcing Ingle Farm to D7 so youi could be a "premiership coach" - you and your club cheated the system and you are going to cash in on the SAAFL kind heart..

Ingle Farm were relegated to D7 after finishing ninth.
Were given the chance to stay in 6 I believe.
Maybe he felt the club went ready for Div6 and had recruited and prepared for Div 7.
