At the end of the game as the Salisbury North coach was addressing his side and about to do the awards the Edwardstown coach was waiting to the side for a chance to personally address the team, he commented on their conduct on the field, the way they played the game and then wished them all the best for the rest of the season's and told them to go on and win the flag, it was excellent to see, well played sir.
He could've been pissed off that his team took their foot off of the accelerator but no, he was more impressed that Sal. North found the extra gears.
Is that the game Huddo Cluse kicked 7? If so we will he back out at Centrals anytime soon.
Yes, he played the best game I've seen him play, the delivery was brilliant but so was his reading of the play, finding space and one grab marking.
He didn't play any 16's @ Centrals this year as he had a fall and hurt himself late last year, he only recovered just prior to the SANFL Junior season, he just had "one of those days".
I was doing the votes and in the 2nd quarter I said to a mate early, that moves him up to 3rd, 5 minutes later I said "Nope, he's up to 2nd now" then he had the BOG wrapped up around midway through the 3rd quarter for mine, he could've kicked 10.

Had a bit to with Huddo, great lad from a ripper family. Glad he's finding the footy again.

@Pag.
Couldn't agree more. Absolute ripper family.....and Huddo is extremely passionate about his sport. Would be great to see him one day play senior footy at Centrals.

Curious to know how everyone's juniors are travelling for 2023? Hearing a lot of teams struggling, folding, or combining age groups just to stay alive. Going to be an interesting couple of years for player retention, especially in the premiership grades..

Yep, we are struggling not necessarily with numbers - although there has been a slight movement away from boys/premiership grades, but also workload. It seems excessive. I've been organising a carnival this year and every club footy ops person I speak to says the same. Retention, transfers out, permits are all hard work. I do wonder if the SANFL are noticing a drop off in numbers - perhaps not with clubs burgeoning in the extremities - and if they're willing (capable?) to do anything to stop it.

The biggest reason why clubs will die is volunteer burnout, our junior coordinator before this season was retired and basically did it full time, now the roles been split into two and the workload is huge.
Senior football is just as bad, APPs reports, salary cap reports, the workload is way too much!

Having stepped down from involvement in a committee just over two years ago I can't echo this enough.
Spend an extraordinary amount of time filling out forms just so the SANFL can send them to some paid external consultant to review.

For those involved, has it been better when the SANFL took over the juniors or was it better when it was the old leagues? Metro South, Metro West, NEMJFL?

NEMJFL or whatever it was, was much better. By streets.

Yeah, my lad was in MWJFL and then SANFL and I too much preferred the SANFL. It was a bad watch in the MWJFL, one week they'd lose by 20 goals, then the next week they would win by 20 goals. Much more even in SANFL

You are talking about playing conditions. I was referring to the administrative side.
Obviously the playing conditions are better when it's opened up to the rest of the metro area, but the admin is much worse.

Anyone on here with links to the juniors of Tea Tree Gully, Edwardstown, Glenunga or Lockleys?
Interested in an explanation on the re-grading of the U17.5 Girls competition. TTG were undefeated in 4 games in the Div 3 comp, yet got relegated to Div 4. Edwardstown were 2nd in Div 3, but got promoted to Div 2. Lockleys were bottom of Div 4 but got promoted to Div 3. Glenunga had the same record as Edwardstown in Div 3 but were unchanged.

Don't get me started on re-grading...contrived bullshit
Kids openly saying on the field they are deliberately losing early games to stay down. Coaches resting star players.

That’s happened for years in juniors MW in boys, one club notorious for doing it.

We got this in U12's this season - last year Eliz beat us by 10 goals in U11.. this year they got graded to the bottom U12 div.
This year:
Rd 1 - 90 to 0
Rd 2 - 99 to 0
Rd 3 - 94 to 1
Rd 4 - 123 to 0
Re-graded from D5 to D4
Rd 5 - 83 to 3
Rd 6 - 90 to 0
How they started in the bottom grade to begin with is beyond me.. but they're taking the piss.
