Well much as I hate seeing this sort of publicity for thde SFL, I actually think it's a good thing for the SFL to see what a laughing stock it has the potential to be permanently if these sort of results continue. Hard to continue to bury your head in the sand when the whole of Adelaide is laughing at your league. No amount of changing age groups will address these issues.
Also heard them on 5AA this morning taking the piss out of the result. Not a good look.

It's not the league at fault, though. It's the club. Bad decisions, bad recruitment, minimal local presence and community involvement.
Ahhhhh - no more complaints. It's easy enough to write down what's wrong and what can be done to fix things, but putting ideas into practice is going to be a long, hard slog. I know a lot of Aldinga and ex-Aldinga people read this forum, so this is for you - please get behind our club. Volunteers are always needed, particularly after the first few weeks when the eager numbers begin to drop off. Players, too - the B grade needs numbers. The A grade needs numbers, if it comes to that, but no more bloody mercenaries please. Just people who are willing to turn up to training and put in some effort on a regular basis.

Some of the comments on that article are about as intelligent as what we see on here at times.
Especially liked Dave's comment: "The person that should be sacked is the Port Noarlunga coach for running up the score. It's disgusting that they would keep kicking goals after being up by even 100, let alone 300."
Yep it's all Manhood's fault

Yes, they should have been instructed to play dead or feign injury to make Aldinga players feel better about themselves. After all it's not about winning or losing it's how you play the game. And after the game, Porties should have provided grief counsellors to attend the home team's rooms.

Sadly when you have a 300 point loss, there's no redeeming features of your club's performance and they can't see it getting any better, then you're going to get it in the neck. The question is who would want to coach that side?

Now some people might say go buy some good players. But the fact is, even despite the dollars being thrown at players they would still not want to play for a club that is struggling.
How anyone can fix this, I am unsure. Happy to hear any suggestions.
But with regards to the coach, he may have been able to make some difference but essentially it's the quality of the cattle your club has at its disposal. When a side has 4 or 5 genuine A grade footballers and the rest of the squad is filled with B grade players, it's going to be a hard slog.
I only hope that another defeat like this doesn't happen for the rest of the season for any teams, no one likes to see a thumping like that.

Would playing in Div 2 make this better for Aldinga - more even competition less big beltings week in week out? The only other option I can reasonably see is to merge.
Now before all the hysterics start about "losing our club identity" etc think about it - what is your club identity like now? Especially after the bad press you have unfortunately copped this week. You have some decent junior sides where some clubs are starting to struggle here. You have great facilities and not all clubs have that.
Wouldn't Aldinga and some of the other clubs that are struggling (Lonsdale fits in this category) rather see part of there history preserved as opposed to folding altogether because you can't get players to play for you?
I don't want to continually go on about this but some clubs need to get there head out the sand and plan for the future. I am not saying everyone at your club is in denial but there must be some that are. I know that if HV were in that spot I wouldn't want to see them fold completely - hell I'd even support a merge with the bush pigs to stop that happening (sorry Dutchy)
