Good, then thats all you need to worry about then. Spend less time worrying about what other clubs are doing and more time worrying about what mitchell park or whoever has to do to get into a higher division.

I cant believe this whole thread is about Modbury having a better D grade than their c grade. If their D grade is that good, surely you would all be happy they are playing in div 7 res and not in div 7?? I assume there are only one or two sides in this div that it is their C and D grade sides playing so as clubs shouldn't you be worrying about how your A grade is doing? I would have thought that is more important to where your club is at?

That would make for quite a boring forum wouldn't it? Every club in their own thread waxing lyrical, isolated and seperate from the broader football community. All that would do is breed ignorance.

Maybe if more people gave a shit about others and the sport we all love we wouldn't get situations like the MFC D grade.

Or maybe I am just too idealistic for a sport run, organised and maintained by stodgy, uncultured, bogans only concerned for themselves.

Agreed, it's ridiculous that people have this continuous notion of 'mind your own backyard'. The reality is that we all play in the same league and the decisions that other teams make affect other clubs. To say that people should just sit back and watch it all go by is ridiculous.

I cant believe a certain player that has won 400 odd Association medals hasn't been mentioned yet...

If other clubs were ordering hits on rival players, dealing drugs, bribing umpires and officals, something against the law I'd take issue with it, while teams are fielding sides of various abilities both good and bad I'll keep my nose out of it and worry about my own backyard.

I am very surprised no one has made mention of the difference between the step from a Clubs A-grade to their B-grade, and the step between Cs and Ds.

The step from As to Bs is always going to be much larger than the step between the Ds and Cs.

In Modbury's case, it is no surprise that their D-grade playing other clubs Bs grades are comparatively better than when their Cs play other clubs As. Simply put, their class only increases the small D-to-C step, while the other clubs have the bigger step up from Bs to As.

Other clubs have the cream of the crop playing in the A-grade, the handful of guys that are head and shoulders above everyone else. The guys who take it seriously, train hard and generally have some footballing ability, where as Modbury are just fielding a bunch of mid-level C-graders. Of course they don't have that much success.

To me, it's no surprise that a D-grade can be more competitive in a B-grade comp than a C-grade can in an A-grade comp.

I've been battling all morning to understand the relevance between your comment and the topic you raised?

i was bought up to respect the other side on the field, however on the other hand i couldnt care less what there selection process and what there grades do... you just have to beat them and if you cant well bad luck...
