State top 10

[asert]

week before amatuer season rd 1 so youd think theyd be pretty well full strength. i know its only a trial but top four sfl would be around the middle of the pack div 1 along with mt lofty willunga and prob tanunda. any other leagues im not familiar with. i guess we will see when div 2 towns come in this year with their wallet open. they should do a knockout state tournament for all teams who want to enter so that everyone who has a chip on their shoulder about how good the league or team they play is

Its impossible to gauge and will never be solved.

The Div 1 and 2 Amateur leage sides get a good hitout every week so they become better in tight and tough situations and each week they play against quality footballers. This doesnt happen in the country as most clubs have their 5-10 good players then it drops away on the flanks and pockets. That would be the difference between say Goodwood Saints and Tanunda.

You can only beat whats put in front of you on the park. If you want to challenge yourself then put ur hand up for the association game, zone games and test yourself against the best players from around the state!!!

They would be destroyed by middle of the road div 1 teams such as Gaza, Gepps and TTG.

Honestly, these teams like Willunga and Tanunda look good because they only have to try every 7th ot 8th game. Guess it's easy to look really good in a bad comp.

Guess it's easy to look really good in a bad comp.

Just in reference to that comment (And not who's the best/strongest - I don't really care)
I for one don't class GSFL as a 'bad' comp.
There will always be winners and losers and stronger teams than others.
At least people are playing the sport.
Kids are 'off the streets' etc, etc, etc.
We have strong numbers in every club in the GSFL.
People will have different ways of measuring what makes a 'good' comp and a 'bad' one.
And it won't necessarily be always based around 'winning' or being 'the best'

Proud to be in the GSFL

modbury play Mt Lofty ever year in a trail apparently and last year Lofty knocked them off by about 5 goals i believe and modbury dominated the Div 2 competition all year. Lofty would definately be considered SAAFL Div 1 standard

they are playing them again in two weeks. but the side Modbury had in the normal season compared to the side that played lofty is a ten goal different team

Id say so was Lofty's considering they got torched by Uraidla the next week in the first round last year. Uraidla finished 5th.

Lofty are a quality side, but it all depends on the coach... He leaves, they all will follow....

EV have you got any idea the coach at Lofty Ben Coleman was his first year at the club last year. They (Lofty) have won 3 premierships in a row its not the coach its the players, 3 years ago Lofty were Struggling, it was because of a good president that got club rolling again. You would be surprised how many players, quality players want to be apart of that club. Its not about the coach.

Didn't actually. Hats of to them for keeping all those recruits and returnees that happened to start arriving the first year of the previous coach.

GSFL top 2

the barossa should be considerd a better standard of comp that the hills considering we beat them in assoc games most years.

Why? All that would show is the top 21 in BLG beat the top 21 in Hills. In leagues consisting of over 200 players i dont think that means anything. Depth is the key to a strong league. Besides, isnt the ledger 3 to 5 in Hills favour?

I think the BLG will get a rude awakening this weekend when the hills smash BLG, reason being this year it is compulsory to play for association, the squad looks scary on paper.

[BALLHOG]

I think the best team in the Hills Football League is Hahndorf they beat Mt Lofty easily on the weekend and would take it up to some Div 1 sides for sure.

[ohh i dunno]

gee thats an early call I wouldnt discount lofty yet come finals time I know where my money will be.

I wouldn't write off the BLG so quickly mate, they have a core of 9 teams to chose from as Hills have 16. Several new players and players who have experienced this footy before to play. Its a long way back to Barossa from hahndorf, could be a massive party!!!
