New Clubs for 2017

[marbles]

When all the SAFA Clubs came into SAAFL they all started down in the bottom Divisions and then worked there way into the division they should be in. ( even if meant winning a few fags on the way)

No they didnt lol

1996 about 15 teams joined and 3 premier division were made. These divisions were set higher than A1

The div 1 and 2 clubs chose to go up to these divs to join the premier divs

When the SAFA clubs came in Athelstone were offered Div 1 as the reigning premiers, they thought they needed time to get their head around the comp, it was then handed to Edwardstown who accepted. As it was difficult for the league to decifer the strength of the SAFA clubs, the league decided on a Premier competition because they knew SAFA clubs paid money and SAAFL was basically Amatuer back then.

Absolutely no relevance to the current situation. That was a long time ago and things have changed big time.

Spot on Yank Man.

Everybody just needs to settle down a bit the League will place them in the grade that they need to be. A few people might get their noses out of joint but once again look at the Big picture not the little picture.

The clubs that are interested in coming are well established with decent facilities. Not new clubs with nothing. They are well established clubs with long histories of over 50+ years

All ovals get upgraded. Flagstaff, Smackham and Morphettvale were bigger styes in the late 90's / early 2000's. Smackham had the worst oval south of Modbury for a century

[Footy Chick]

and that's a long way to go to find an oval worse than mudberys...LOL

No true, ours is OK

I can confirm Hackhams oval in June/July in the mid-late 90's was worse than anything I have ever seen in the SAAFL. I remember playing juniors there and then seeing the paper the next day and seeing A grade scores with 3 goals winning the game. Now it's a fantastic ground no matter the weather.

Also doesn't get the traffic of other SFL grounds

[LaughingKookaburra]

I didn't compare it to other SFL grounds but ok. I was just saying it's far better than it used to be.
