SAAFL Div 3 & 3R (2009)

[Iron Fist]

Billy hasn't missed a training, and was one of the first to sign
Danny is Billys Uncle
Expect to see big improvement this year also in the Bs
Also they have a new coach, in Paul Dorian, Robo is one of the clubs favourite sons who has come home

He will be great for the ressies. He is a good coach.

You know he plays Super-rules for Portland...

wasnt he coach of iggies last year??
he has gone from coaching a div 3 side to a really struggling (from the sounds of it) div 3 res side??
whats with that???

The lack of depth at Kilburn is embarrassing. Last year their b grade was as good a hit out as a forfeit and don't get me started on the c grade. I find their recent success (or lack there of) bewildering considering the number of people on here who go on and on and on and on about how good a club Kilburn is.

I believe their C grade made the finals or just missed out in 2007 and made the GF in 2006. Check your facts Grail.

Their B grade was also competitive in almost every game and came close to the top teams such as Walkerville. Just a bit hard when the oldest bloke out there is 21.

That's a massive coup for the Knights getting Robo on board. What will Ignations say when he coaches against them? When was he appointed?

[Lozza]

well since the b's have gone from no wins in 2007 to 1 win in 2008 you'd guess Kilburn B's would be happy with an improvement to 2 wins. 4 or more wins and they'd be ecstatic

We should listen to Suri. Walkerville are the kings of div 3. They don't want to go up to div 2 and are happy where they are. Walkerville should change their nickname to the Kings, the Kings of mediocrity. This shows in their results, what happened last time they were in div 2? Straight back down and their hero Smid was nowhere to be seen!

You are the King of the div 3 board Suri!!!!

[Hairy_Cat]

I thought Pembroke were the Kings...?

[Lozza]

I thought Pembroke were the Kings...?

Many nicknames are shared in the SAAFL. Dare say there are less Kings than Cats out there. Even less Kings of Mediocrity!

[Hairy_Cat]

Spooners and Soft are personal favourites of mine... at least you were a little creative

Kilburn has always struggled in the B grade, i played over 100 games there and i did lose many of these games! However I continued to play because i really enjoyed playing for the club and the guys i played with. When we played B grade we did enjoy the 1 or 2 wins we had in a year and i for one never regretted staying and playing there as long as i did, i only moved on as GGFC were closer to where i was working and living. There are many players still out at Kilburn that would say the same, Agius, O'Niell, Baker all of who have played A grade but would have played a majority of there footy in the B grade. As for the C grade im pretty sure they were very competative 4 or so years ago. Possibly the area of Kilburn has affected this with many of the other local clubs having stronger junior programs ie Gepps Cross. Having Crackers and Robo coaching the lower grades is great for the club! Good to see!

A fair strecth of the imagination to say that Walkerville are mediocre and want to stay in Div 3 when you have teams that have been in Div3 for more years then Walkies, Iggies for one, eatern park were there few a few more years before going up this year (and well done to them). You can hardly say that being in a division for 4 years is unheard of.

Considering that Walkerville have played finals 3 out of the last 4 years, and were about 3 goals away from a GF a few years back when they were beaten by Athelstone is a bit more of an effort then mediocre. Constantly finishing outside the top 5 would be.

I agree that looking over Walkies time in Div 2 they have gone straight back down, maybe that is due to a loss of players or the players they have arent up to the standard of Div 2. But you wouldnt think they are the only team, in any division, who go up and then back down the next year. Salisbury have done it over Div 3 and 4 in the last few years, does that mean theydont want to be in Div 3? I doubt it.

[Felch]

Don't forget Walkies were 0.01% from being relegated in 2005.

[Fricky]

yep, they were very lucky not to be relegated to div 4 after coming back down from div 2

[Felch]

yep, they were very lucky not to be relegated to div 4 after coming back down from div 2

From memory, if Salisbury West had not been penalised and made to stay in D4, the Cats would have joined us in D4 in 2006.

Also, if we had of kicked one extra goal for the year, they would have been relegated instead of us.

Walkies pay out plenty to their priority boys and are too scared to make a permanent shift to a higher div because they will lose some of their favourite girls.

You have said it Suri they are not good enough to go up a div and too scared to make the changes necessary to go up.

Your 4th post..........can i ask what is your club and wonder how successful they are
Kilburn is always the brunt of inuendo, if you go and recruit all of a sudden you are spending million dollars
Some of the bullshit that is written on here about them is unbelievable
Perhaps people write it coz they have nothing better to do and know they will get a bite
So Grail we look forward to you naming your club on your 5th post...........so we can see what successful club you are from

FF you sound like a very insecure person, there is a lot of inuendo that goes on this forum about all clubs. your making it sound like your the only one that cops it. i think gX, cash haven and greenacres cop a fair pasting on here but i dont see any of those lads having a cry i think one of your own who is having a holiday from this forum at the moment dishes out plenty of it so i think its fair you take a bit of criticism bACK

each to their own i guess lozza. You think Walkerville are a mediocre club who are "scared" to go up a division, which i think would be disgraceful for any club to be that way. If a club doesnt want to go up to a higher division then they will never win a flag, which is why you play footy.

If you really want to go into clubs that dont want to play in a higher division look no further then SMOSH/West Lakes. Although they were going to get relegated for finishing 2nd bottom they were asked if they wanted to stay in Div 2 since Edwardstown were going to the SFL but said no. But a team like Scotch who finished bottom said they would stay up when they were asked. Perfect example, according to your thinking, of a club that is mediocre and to scared to play up.

On the other hand, hats off to Salisbury who were suppose to go back to Div 4 but when asked to stay in Div 3 they jumped at the chance

was a very weak effort by smosh!!
they took the easy option instead of enduring possibly another season of downs, so they went to div 3 where they will be one of the favourites for 2009!!!

good on salisbury, they are a club that dont pay much to anyone and love the chance of playing the best competition they can!!!
apart from pag, they seem like decent blokes aswell

Crap, piccachu. Everyone retaliates when their club is criticised. I'm sick of the crap written about Kilburn too. I would actually like to hear about what is actually happening at the place but I can't because people with no clue what is going on fill up the boards with crap!

Kilburn will smash Portland during the year anyway so you will get the last laugh Lozza.

I'm not from Kilburn mate. Would like to see piccachu get smashed by everyone, but from what I hear he will be injured/playing B's.

Are you kidding footballfollower? You're sledging me coz I haven't posted many comments? That is seriously the dumbest insult I've ever read. Also if you re-read my comment, I never mention money or anything else you're crying about I simply make the point Kilburn clearly suffer from a lack of depth due to their deplorable record in bs and cs. It's an observation based on fact not 'bullsh!t' as you argue.

Anyway, lighten up a bit, relax, stop overreacting and whinging like a baby. Take this forum the way it should be taken - primarily as a somewhere for some friendly banter and to hear some (normally inaccurate) goss to help us pass the time before we're out playing/supporting our team. Chill out mate.
