Sweendog you going to name those 4 sides then? Marion, MVP and Brighton already named but whose your 4th side? Anyone want to take a guess?

I reckon Marion will go, MVP wont go till they are forced out and that wont ever happen, Brighton is a toss up but why wouldnt you want to go to a comp that gives you a decent game each week

We can all sit on here and take pot shots at the SFL but I reckon it's time clubs took a stand and forced a vote to go back to full day of footy on a Saturday which was the best thing about the SFL. The SFL wont ever do anything about it without being forced because they are run mostly by Lonsdale people.

Clubs with 5 sides on Saturday
Reynella
Brighton
Flaggies
Happy Valley
Christies
Cove
Noarlunga

Clubs without 5 sides on Saturday
Porties - no 18s
MVP - no juniors
Aldinga - no 16s
Lonsdale - no juniors
Hackham - no 14s or 18s
Marion - no juniors

Anyone from Porties or Aldinga want to fill us in on whether you will be putting 5 Saturday teams on the park next year?

Keep hearing Hackam to fold next year anyone got an update on this?

I think most of us agree the current model of the SFL needs to be changed or we run the risk of losing clubs gradually.
The league is a ship without a captain at present, we need leadership before it's to late. Craig Warman has been a great servant of the league for many years and has a done a very serviceable job of what is a tough gig. I don't think there would be to many league Presidents umpiring juniors on a Saturday morning! Great stuff.
But he's not the man to steer the ship through the rough waters we currently find ourselves in, I really hope he can see that!

Changing the subject, Reynella's U/16s did not lose a game last season and are currently undefeated this year. Has a team in any grade gone through 2 seasons undefeated in consecutive years in the SFL?


Morphett Vale B Grade went back to back undefeated Premiers in 03-04 and dropped their first game in 05 mid season to Brighton. Brighton then went on to lose to them in the Prelim after being undefeated prior to that.

This is the post that makes the most sense of all. Yes SFL Board are spineless but they need to be challenged, i think the problem with Challenging is that each SFL Board member gets a vote and Mr Warman has surrounded himself with Croonies that will always vote for.him.

As for the 5 sides i agree, maybe a slight exception could be Under 18s. I believe if strong enough the Board could say to Aldinga and Porties start working now on filling those missing sides.

Marion and MVP f##k off, and Lonsdale and Hackham merge to fill.at least 4 sides or else F##k off.

Up to 4 teams to walk to Saafl next year!

I reckon that has been said every year since I joined this forum.At least the Blackwood to join SFL rumour hasn't been thrown around for a while.


I know for a fact that Brighton is seriously looking at amateurs next year.

Their off!

If it is true I told ya!! Big backward step in my opinion.....their success in junior ranks over the last twenty years has a bit to do with the all day package of junior and senior footy on the same day and venue. That is going down the gurgler.

Does there need to be an SAAFL league vote re Brighton for this to happen? If so has this vote even taken place yet?

Wow that's a great effort especially considering its B Grade.

Reckon there would be some Happy Valley junior sides in the mid to late 90's with similar stories in undefeated periods.

That B grade team was seriously good. Skillful and hard. Was on the receiving end of some decent beltings from that group.

I heard div 7, but I believe the club had a meeting last night & the decision was to made to move to the SAAFL, with only paperwork with the SAAFL to be done.
Players are being informed that for next year the club will be in the SAAFL when sorting out any kind of contracts.
Key club members will walk if the club is not in the SAAFL next year.

Correct. Don't know about the div 6 part though. I heard it would be div 7. I heard it at the SANFL Sunday. It had to go to vote at the club first. I thought personally it was odd considering they are 20+ km south further than the closest club in the SAAFL.
