SAAFL Division 6 & D6R (2012)

I think you are spot on Tosser re changerooms. Starplex required one change room for the swimmers as the pool Is still open during the start of games.

Yes, college teams and C grade use the change room 50m away from the opposition change room.
Have never seen a huge issue with the distance as most teams run a few hundred meters around the oval even when the change rooms are next to the oval they play on. I think it's just a mindset.

The only issue I see is during half time there is a bit of a walk back to the rooms.

Q is right, opposition have access to the soccer pitch also, which is a big plus for opposition.

I guess take the good with the bag.

I guess you're not a team manager or trainer then and have never had to carry anything?

Hey Tosser- where do trinity train. Sounds obvious but there are 4 campuses

Gave us a footy lesson for sure but don't thank them for it HBF . Got a couple of questions for Tosser or anyone from Trinity.Was the large police presence on Saturday because you had a police officer playing or was it an Ingle Farm thing???? Also when i went into your change rooms for a quick slash during the game i noticed a brand new changeroom right next to yours not being used yet opposition teams have to change 500m away in a far inferior changeroom/toilet. Is there a reason for this or is it just a ploy to make it harder for the oppposition?????? Nothing untoward intended here, just curious about these couple of things.

lol, worst part about getting changed in those toilets is when five blokes decide to have a dump before the game [/quote]

i concur Q!..i have seen those rooms as well old farmer and was puzzled myself..maybe we should stick a toilet in a shed on goodwood rd and make them get changed there?

surely when visiting colleges play against trinity college they dont walk/hike from the ladies changerooms hundreds of metres away?? home changerooms must have a visitors room at a college?[/quote]

Since I'm the only one from Trinity on this forum I'll try to answer the best I can. Not sure about the police presence. Not something I was told about. We regularly have police drive past during games to keep an eye on things but they don't usually hang around like they did on the weekend. I can only assume that the committee may have organised it specifically due to the serious incidents that have happened during the last 2 clashes with Ingle Farm but it was not a discussion I was involved in. With the away changerooms, I know that it was difficult to get STARPLEX (who own the swimming changerooms as part of their complex) to allow us to access the 1 changeroom that we currently use due to the general mess that comes with a footy team, and they were reluctant to allow a mens footy team into the female changerooms due to the fact that some females still access the toilets in there while the footy games are on. Certainly not a deliberate ploy against opposition teams. I realise that the away teams getting changed so far away is a problem but it is the best we can do at the moment.

As for the college teams ... not only do the visiting college teams get changed where the rest of you guys do but even the trinity college teams themselves have changerooms under the main building in front of the soccer pitch probably 30m from your rooms and do not have access to the rooms that we use.

I am not privy to many of the decisions that the committee makes but to the best of my knowledge what I have written above is accurate. Hope this clears a few things up.[/quote]

hasnt been a problem for us the last two years

Can anyone from the farmers let me know if Lynch is a chance of playing again this year??

I wouldn't say no quite yet. Might be available very soon. Been running again for a fortnight

Ingle Farm don't deserve to stay in div 6 and in all honesty I think the close results have only masked the fact that they are still struggling and lack serious depth at the club at the moment.

HBF - you mention the handful of games you lost by low margins, how many have you lost by say 40 pts plus? How many players in your B grade and C grade would you feel comfortable in stepping up through the grades right now?

The Farmers have definately improved, but not by enough to warrant continuation in this div. Perhaps if players hadn't been injured and had been able to field a consistent side each week it may have been different.

Skelton was a let down for the Farmers - big ruckman recruited to support Gannell but his ego was too big and heart too small and left the Bulldogs caught with their pants down.

Lastly, what happens if a side below wants to stay down but the side above wants to go down? Who gets right if way? Use Ingle Farm and TTG as an example..

I'm sure a few weeks ago you were on here saying that YOU PERSONALLY would ensure that IF don't get relegated.

Now you are talking about IF as "them" not "us"

Going get a bit tough?

Was thinking the same thing Ashman, not quite sure what has happened out there with Phantom but sounds like a return to Ovingham with Deeman maybe on the cards?
Phantom you are still out there making sure things change and u move up the grades mate?

Phantom ain't going anywhere !! I think that he is just showing his frustration of a difficult year.

Ashman, Rumor is Phantom Gossiper has quit the club for the rest of the season because he refuses to attend team meetings on a Saturday morning before his game

[Footy Chick]

you're only telling part-truths Moses.

PG may also be choosing the "good dad" option over the footy optiion

[Phantom Gossiper]

Geez are your lives that boring and uneventful?!

My comments about Ingle Farms season where from an honest/outsider point if view, obviously I like all others would've liked to avoid relegation but unfortunately it hasn't worked out that way. It has definately been a frustrating season.

I'm not going anywhere, ill be involved with Ingle Farm next season, despite results abd dramas over recent years its a wonderful club with some great people and amazing facilities.

However it is true i won't play again this season, the coaching staff are trying to implement changes and standards and I respect & appreciate that and unfortunately I can't commit to those requests at the moment - footy is not my top priority in life.

Hope this clears things up, now how about talking abt this weekends games?

[The Informer]

I agree with Phantom on this. To be told that you have to be there by 11.15 for a meeting or they will find someone who can and play them is a bit rich.
Some people do have life's away from Football and may like to spend time with there family in the morning before heading of for a day of football.
I dont mind that clubs bring in rules but a rule with 4 weeks to go?

Report time has been 11:15 all season, but some people choose to be very late every week. I do understand some people LIKE to spend time with family before football but when 4 or 5 latecomers are upsetting preparation for the rest of the team, a stand had to be taken.

Only once in the past 8 or 9 weeks have we not been smashed in the first quarter, kinda coincides with only having 2/3 of a team there & ready to go on to the park 20 minutes before the game. The lateness has been getting worse over the second 1/2 of the season.

Whilst we now have no chance of making finals, it does not mean we throw in the towel and go through the motions. We will continue to try and improve both the way we play footy and the manner in which we go about it, including our preparation.

I feel for PG and the other few who it may affect, however, getting a team READY for the first siren is our priority.

[Q.]

Would've thought most clubs would require their B-Graders to arrive between 11:15-11:30AM
