Just who is going to be the 10th team in D2??? - NO ONE???

[big red supporter]

My mail is Para Hills have already been asked and have to give a answer by Monday but i feel it will be declined

[Jimmy_041]

I'd be wanting something from the League for helping them out

[gothebombers]

yeah about20 quality div 1/2 players would be a start

In all honesty from what I understand SPOC would be the best equipped to come up. They have recruited very well and if only they could find a coach with any sort of credibility they might be ok

[just nobody]

Simple - if Para Hills decline the League will just progressively go down the finishing order from last year in Division 3 until one accepts the invititation. Thats how the rules are apparently. Any one who thought I was serious about Ovingham playing D2, it was pure sarcasim. They would get belted by 50 goals each week, the facilities are poor and decent players would be having shots from the centre on that little whatever they play on. Its kinda like a Playground as you could hardly call it an Oval.

[The Big Shrek]

With Edwardstown gone to the SFL and West Lakes electing to go to D3, now Scotch have told the SAAFL they also want to go back to D3 after first electing to stay in D2. This only leaves 9 teams who want to play in D2 in 2009.

Shads and Co then approached Kilburn who finished 3rd in Divy 3 last year to come up and take the vacant spot and they declined, Then they trooped off to Walkerville who have also declined to go - Story has it that Para Hills who finished 5th last year in Divy 3 will be the next asked on Monday.

Could have either Portland or Mitcham who have just come up from Divy 4 playing Div 2 at this rate.

What a shambles. Scotch have to be told they have to stay where they are and cant go back or Kilburn have to be told to come up. This is turning into a bloody raffle.

Might even have Kenilworth or Central United or Ovingham, getting a gig in Div 2 at this rate.

This is a true story with no one in Tynte Street knowing who the 10th team will be in Divy 2 this year because no one wants to be there.

Kilburn are soft cocks!!

There - Ive fixed it for you

Hamstring, I reckon this topic is full of it it because I know full well we would have gone up given the chance at the end f ladt year.

I think you are shooting your mouth off from the safety of Uni's H grade.

TBS, this has only happened in the last 72 hours. It wasn't an option at the end of the seasons. When's the grade nomination deadline?

Thebarton Oval as from tomorrow, but you're right and this had to happen one day. I still say give the Old Collegiate sides their own division and let them make their own rules as per the Geoff Herd school of "my way or no way"!

Yeah - well, the cause of all this is a District side - Edwardstown chucking their toys out of cot. Scotch are well within their rights to go down a grade. With all of the player losses, they would get belted by 30+ every week.

Then, Kilburn, the 3rd side have, apparently, declined to go up, however, for some unknow reason, I cant believe that. I would have though they would have jumped at the chance

And then we venture down to D7 where Henley talking about not wanting to go up.

Even you, CC, can hopefully see where the problem is........, but if you cant, let me know and I'll put it in big letters for you

[TIRED TIGER]

kilburn wont go up money and quality players now in short supply from what i am hearing

How's the head Rotting?

[LaughingKookaburra]

It's a very interesting scenario. Will it be a case that all the teams that were staying up will now go down and for 1 year divy 2 will have 9 teams with the bye in place??

Isn't it great that when you do use the "quote"function, this keeps coming up - Kilburn are soft cocks!!

Yeah well, I have had it confirmed that Kilburn turned it down. The only way you ae going to play D2, College Boy, is to come home and play with the Blacks

And.........I'm training in the A squad matey, so I was hoping you had the balls to come up a grade instead of trophy hunting.

Then again, no players this year, no juniors, no money, the smell of decay is evident amp;

[The Big Shrek]

You are training in the A squad are you? I read that as 'I played L grade last year but I'm trying really hard at running laps so they are letting me play with the big boys before I get told to bugger off back down to W grade, wear number 439 on my back and claim other people's success as my own'.

[Port boy]

[quote="Jimmy_041"]Maybe Kilburn have a lost a few players because I would have though they would have jumped at the chance.

If you put it in big letters jimmy make sure it reads well !

[Jimmy_041]

What does that mean?

[Port boy]

not sure, you wrote it

[Jimmy_041]

OK - BLAME EDWARDSTOWN. LOOK AT WHO WONT GO UP A GRADE. This is not Scotch's fault. It is a district side's doing, so the notion that college sides are at fault is bollocks

I still say give the Old Collegiate sides their own division and let them make their own rules as per the Geoff Herd school of "my way or no way"!'

The discussion about turning A3 into a college grade dates back to the 80's where so called "amateur" district sides were offering huge money to our players. And if you want to know why? - The SANFL was very strong and most good players wouldn't think of playing amateurs whilst they had a chance to play higher, so the district sides had to look for players from the country or amateur league. Go back and look at how many college sides (plus Uni and Teachers College) were playing A1, how many were in the State side (around 50% in most years) and how many were all Australian. The call for a truly amateur grade was to bring the issue to a head and it worked.

These days, with the money out in the open, the old collegian sides are still around but few are successful in D1 because we wont pay for current league and reserve players to play for us. And before you say it, getting a Roo, Modra, Jarman, Perrie or Bassett is totally different from paying Vassil or Gunning to play. These are young guys who can walk into a league side and these older guys wont be getting $200 per game.
