Southern Football League

Was appalled by the attitude and body language of the so called Bomber superstar.

Looked as if he did not want to be there. Maybe foxing any possible state selection in order to play for bombers. Although that would be nothing new with the clubs attitude to rep footy.

The great man was not feeling well all week and could consider himself lucky to even be lining up!

[asert]

Pretty sure Gabe Phillips never played juniors at all

[Bag The Points]

Don't get too carried away with an association game meaning you are a better league or more competitive league. It's almost irrelevant in proving that.
A good stat I like though is, look at club of origin in each assoc. team. In the SFL they only have 1 who originates from the GSFL (pistilli) where as GSFL have prob a dozen or more who were recruited from the SFL.

I could be wrong but it looks like Carroll & Munn are the only 2...

How many of the SFL's best players played jnr footy for there current club?

Post the final gsfl side as I don't know it, but a. Harvey is another, m. Hodge and technically portlock is as well.

Juniors from SFL that I know of:
Tyler Harman no
Trevor Rigney Yes osb
Gabe Phillips ?
Wil Bradley ?
Joshua Ramsey ?[/b

I might be wrong, but didn't Josh Vick originate from Cove colts?
As for Ramsey, he definitely did.

Vick is gsfl from Goolwa. As for smith didn't get a kick obviously was the wrong wording, I should have said wasnt very impressive. The way everyone carries on I was expecting a big, commanding key forward. Got a lack luster performance against an average gsfl back line. I think it's clear after the past 2 years that the sfl is inferior to the gsfl.

I think at the top end the SFL may be inferior, but I think that the SFL team lists run a lot deeper than the GSFLs.

Given the difference in the scores on Saturday, the debate about 2 divisions will come up again.

However, that may not be the answer. Are there too many sides in the SFL and the talent is spread too far.

Should the SFL be looking at a 12 team competition?

Mr McSpaz in response to SFL v GSFL result: 'The Southern League is full of great players and great coaches - but the league itself is bulls***. Selection panel needs to have a look at which of their selections actually played football over the last few weeks, and then they need to have a look at themselves.' Can't disagree with that.

[jonno]

Can someone tell me where Brighton boys Todd Johnston, Will Rivers, and Chad Norsworthy were on Saturday?

Above is the number of times each player has featured in the top 5 best players to date. This definitely has contributed to the 80 point drumming handed out by the GSFL team. Going by the numbers above , the coach has overlooked the players that are inform this year, to only pick a handfull of players who have been in the best players more than 4 times so far this year. The above SFL team selected is out of form!

Hopefully the SFL will change there mentality towards these association games & start to look at players who are inform on a year by year basis. This might build the interest from players wanting to play in such type of games as we all know you need a name to be able to play in the association team. At the moment no-one cares about these matches because it doesn't matter if you are in the best players every week, you won't be picked unless you have played at SANFL or AFL Level.

I am intrigued to know how the GSFL team best players would stack up against the SFL team!

[vics01]

SHOULD Association Football an under 23 or 21 game? Give lads a chance to show their ability and skills to SANFL or higher grade scouts. I imagine that the SANFL people at the game on the weekend would have walked away very disapointed.

RAP You are right about the talent being spread thin across the SFL. It seems that some players who at best are B grade or sometimes C grade players are getting A grade games against A grade footballers as the results show at times. A sad state of affairs, don't know what the answer is.

BUT which clubs do you suggest go by the wayside?? Will cause a storm

[LuvsFooty]

I would suggest that the gsfl would have had similar stats in regards to numbers of times in the best. I was concerned about our line up because I didn't think it was the best, in form 22: It wasnt until parsons (who kicked 7) got a late call up, that we had one of our leading goal kickers on the park.

But the difference isn't that. The SFL has too many players from too many teams, meaning that most clubs have minimal representation. This makes it hard to bond players and work on structures. Must be a nightmare to select a well balanced team when you could probably make an argument for 2 or 3 per club. If you look at our side I think we had 5 players from both Willunga and Langhorne creek. So at that first training you already have 2 groups of 5 who are guns and know eachother inside and out. They then bandy together and drag the other guys along for the ride. Come game day, there is no learning names or wondering who will lead and hence the margin because of a better structured line up

[field of dreams]

Interesting points LF. After seeing Creek in full flight the week prior, the thought did cross my mind that perhaps we should just put them up to play the SFL- pretty sure they would have got the job done based on the actual side. of course that's not what it is about.
I played in a winning association side (2 games on the long weekend vs hills, rmfl and sfl) many years back. It was fantastic to meet, train and play with so many talented guys, but I reckon my home side( which was pretty dominant in that era would Have got the choccies too.

Your theory gets blown away by the fact that Vick was named best on ground for SFL, yet he doesn't meet your criteria.

[White Line Fever]

It's not a secret that the GSFL is a far superior league to the SFL.

Goolwa who only won 1 game last year and finished last could push any team in the SFL and be a chance to win.

White line fever lets not say silly idiotic things like that. Sides like Brighton, noarlunga, morphett vale, reynella over the years would not have finished bottom in the gsfl. That's basically what your saying. Brighton beat div 1 sides in trials. I will admitt the bad is bad. But the top 4 sides on there day could match the other comps best. Let's be serious. Bring in two divs like everyone has been saying. What I've seen a lot of the best players in the comp didn't play sat due to injury or other commitments. Up to 5 or more players in any comp changes any side.

[White Line Fever]

Strong reading.

My point is the worst in GSFL can still play good footy and if they were 'on' could be a chance.

9/10 times Brighton would win.

But aldinga will never beat Brighton.
Impossible.
