I'm aware of that, thanks.

[gothebombers]

but saying that pag, i dont agree that you should be fined as other clubs just nom and withdraw anytime.

[Pag]

I don't necessarily have a problem with it mate, if it's going to disrupt the C Grade competitions and fixtures. I was just saying the club is hopefuly of being able to put 84 guys on the park each week, hence we have nominated. We might end up being able to have it, which would be great. But if we can't get the numbers, we'll cop the fine on the chin.

So it looks like 8 teams. Pretty sure the fixture still needs changing as some teams are playing the same team four times at the moment.

Yeah I noticed that too, but I think the main problem was making sure that there were four teams who could play at home with A&B Grades away. Not sure how else they could do it unless they can find more neutral ovals?

should be fine - teams with a c and d grade play a double header
ie uni's c6 team starts at 12.15 then the c1 team will play the afternoon game.
draw should just be alternate weeks to the a and b grades.

I understand that, but the D Grade can't play at home if the A&B Grade do. So say for example Salisbury, Mitcham, Broadview, Flinders Park and Port District all have home games in the A Grade that week. Theoretically, all 5 D Grades should play away. Can't happen when there's only four games for the weekend. These are the weeks when they'll have problems.

[finn]

the different grades of the a and b grades certainly throw up some problems -
potential triple headers perhaps when those d grade away games cause problems?
perhaps a sunday afternoon game if it fits with the juniors?
neutral ovals are probably the last and worst answer.

certainly i wouldn't like to be doing the programming.

[LMA]

Yeah the draw is an unusual one I know Pt Dist play Flinders Pk and SMOSH 4 times each and the rest of the sides twice, it could cause some discussion come finals for the sides who draw the yet to be determined top sides 4 times.

Who has every else drawn 4 times ?
Also Finn, are the Uni's in this grade the Farmers ?

[power09]

wouldnt the draw change though so a team is played a maximum of three times?

[gothebombers]

the venue s is the reasoning behind the draw....speak to kylie at the saafl and she ll explain it all to yo

[Pag]

Salisbury play Mitcham and Modbury four times, everyone else twice.

[gothebombers]

i think if you have a real good look at the draw...coz theres only 8 teams and most are diff divs for the A grade...it was never going to be easily set up and i think c1 only has 9 teams...which also makes it hard to structure...dont forget the A s and B s play home , the C s and D s are away..when the a and c d grades dont match..where do they play...i dont think theres really a strait answer...will always be some club will have a hassle , if ya get me drift..

Yeah they were always going to have trouble. At least they programmed to play the teams in same divisions on the same weekends as the As, Bs and Cs. We play Mitcham (As, Bs, Cs & Ds) in Round 7/16, and SMOSH (As, Bs, Cs & Ds) in Round 9/18. I'm assuming it's the same for the other clubs.

[gothebombers]

id say thats why they prog...it that way...never gonna be easy pag...guess youll be ok unless your playing c or d gr

nah, the c6 grade are affectionately known as the scum - theyll be a heady mix of talent too busy to train and players who fall over when trying to kick. generally a good bunch of blokes.
and if you're very lucky you'll have me umpiring at uni home games.
just ask punky.
