Just out of curiosity... anyone know why Henley play in Div 7 as opposed to playing in C1?

Should be a cracker of a year!!

because they have a C & D grade?
ie Div 7 requires a 1st & 2nd side...

because they've been in div 7 for the at least the last three years and have nominated as a club to be in that division. just because a club has a c & d grade doesn't mean that they have to play div7 (or higher) - mitcham have c4 & c5, tea tree gully have c1 & c5, modbury c2 & c5 for some examples.
but, yes, 2008 should be another good year in c1 which can have some pretty handy players running around in it.

Who's coaching Seaton C grade & how are the numbers look'n?

Gaza v Seaton Ramblers
Broadview v Salisbury North
Tea Tree Gully v Rostrevor OC
Goodwood Saints v Gepps Cross
Adelaide University v Port District

Shouldn't Uni's be in C2 coinciding with their A's

I see they do have a C2 side, that would explain !

UNI's should have (imo)-
D2 & Reserves
D4 & Reserves
D6 & Reerves
D7 & Reserves or C2 & C4

um no. we've had div 6 for a few years as our c grade and they've often made the five but not the gf, we've had div 3-5 teams (c grade sides) in the late 80's but came religiously near the bottom - now with greater talent in these grades i'd suggest the results would see uni finish bottom.

last year we were relegated to div 7 from div 6, won c1 but finished outside the finals in c3, fourth or fifth in c4 and bottom in c6.

c1 sees out our fifth side take on div 1 c grade sides.

to answer the div 2 grades and c2 - the amateur league stuffed that one up with shoc's, athelstone, smosh and henley joining uni in runnin g their c grade in div 7. i'd have been happy for that system to continue as i believe it's been the best system in the many that the amateur league has tried over the years.

by the way how unusual were last saturday's results with 40 points being the smallest winning margin then 73 then 3 well over 100 points.

Their C grade would get killed in div 4

Salisbury North have about 40 blokes to choose from.Ant word on any of the other teams.
I can't see broadys c's seeing out the year they are a joke, waste of time even playing.
They were kicking the ball the wrong way half the time

are salisbury north much different to last year though?
i'd expect tea tree gully and goodwood to be strong.
port districts had some very handy players but the team seems to lack a little depth.

Cos they were made up of deaf guys. Good on em for having a go i reckon, just a percentage booster for other teams. No harm. they applied for a C7 position but in the amateur League's wisdom they denied it.

Yeah i heard districts are struggling for numbers, should be alright with all the port magpies juniors being pushed thru the higher grades, expect to see them in the finals mix

Yeah there's a few old boys that have come back to the club but I have not seen any other teams to compare them against.

travesty that amateur league forced the broadview club to play c1 with their mostly deaf side. they try hard and have some fun but getting pounded week in, week out will only demolish any confidence or spirit that they may have originally had. i'd think they'd still struggle even in c5 but at least they'd be in the game and probably win a few.

Agreed, they are still enjoying it and great numbers back at the club on Sat nights but if the league won't change their stance next year, i think it could be all over, which is a shame cos it is a great initiative from both parties.

i'd like to see them in perhaps c5 if c7 is considered too low for the occasional non-deaf player.
