Afterthesiren wrote:I'm hearing C grade maybe re-named "Sunday Football" suggesting games will be played on Sunday. Just wondering what others think but from my clubs point of view Sunday football is the most difficult to organise.
a) Most players don't want to play Sunday particularly after going out saturday night and for those with families Sunday is usually set aside as a non football day after attending Saturdays football.
b) Volunteers regarding trainers, timekeepers, team manager, boundry and goal umpires are also hard to find particularly if they have already given up their time on Saturday.
If this was introduced I believe it would eventually die a slow death as it did in the SFL. The majority of games should be played on Friday night or Saturday night after the A grade. The odd game on Sunday at Milang and Uraidla is acceptable but this shouldn't happen week in week out.
I think we'd struggle in Pantherland if most games were played on a Sunday. Friday nights are easier for us as many of our local players work in Adelaide or the Hills so it isn't a special trip. The games are over in plenty of time for the young lads to start their week-end on a Friday night. The odd triple-header on a Sunday is fine a couple of times a year and it's a good reason for a family day out. Where'd you get your info from ATS?
Just a thought and wondering what others (particularly those involved in C grade) think???

Not quite true htr - it was agreed before the game that both teams would play 16. We did have a full bench (or extra as we had a full team) and did rotate (to let people play), which meant we were fresher, but didn't have a full team on the field.

Hmmmm......Did Ironbank have 16 though? I heard 15. Even if they did have 16, 22 players rotating against them seems a bit rude. Ironbank are no threat to you guys ladderwise; surely lending them a player or two wouldn't have hurt. We've done it. C Grade is certainly competitive, but let's not lose sight of the fact that it's there to ensure senior players get a game, not a hiding.

HOWEVER, your boys were good, & I believe it's easy to pick at least ONE of your best - a guy with a shaved head (?) that seemed to patrol the back/halfback line & who's delivery was VERY good.
It was a better standard than I expected, a good game to watch.
