New Clubs for 2017

[jo172]

I can understand that if you're a club in D4/D5/D6 who this could potentially affect your nose would be a little out of joint.

On the other hand, the introduction of two strong clubs into the League, will, after getting over the anomaly of their introduction, be for the benefit of the League as a whole.

one of the potential new clubs left the league to seek glory elsewhere..like edwardstown did..now they get welcomed back with the red carpet laid out and long serving loyal member clubs get shafted! /rant_over

Completely understand your point.

I'm still of the view that the extent the addition of strong clubs will add to the stability (which has been lacking in recent years re Para Hills, Kilburn etc.) will ultimately be to the League's benefit.

At the end of the day it's one year.

This is going to seem like a pretty silly question - but where exactly is Morphy Parks located?

Closest SAAFL oval? (I'm presuming would be PHOS or Plympton?)

Just look for a -

[marbles]

@marbles - i'll accept that apology now!

Am sorry to hear the farmers are stuck in div 6 for another year

Do brighton charge entry fees at their gate? Morphy oval i doubt its possible

Im guessing marion withdrew cos saafl denied gate enty so thats half their club revenue gone

Zedman just wants go to div 4... win the big one youre in big fella

[Footy Chick]

I dont get it.

[zedman]

I dont get it.

the oval is shaped like a pasty FC!

marbles: thanks for the heads up buddy!

jo: yes its one year..and if someone else comes in for 2018 and for 2019...it will just be one year..for 3 years..

[Booney]

I dont get it.

Funny shaped oval, sort of runs ENE/WSW. It isn't North / South or East / West.

Terrible spot to try and judge a quick single....

What if it gets to hard and they can't reach div 1 or 2, they might jump ship again!

You wouldn't say that if it was your club was affected.

[Footy Chick]

at the end of the day, 2 teams would normally go down anyway in any other circumstance.

Just means that whoever is sitting 8th needs to get off their arse and start winning games (and hope 7th keeps losing)

Been through relegation and narrowly missing out on winning promotion all in the last 5 years.

It's seldom the end of the world. Found it tends to add to the motivation for the following year (albeit admittedly we've been a tad more fluid through the divisions than most).

I understand where you're coming from but if you only win 3 games for the year in your A grade history says you're going down a grade. Win 4 you're still a pretty good chance to go down.

Read the end of the CEO's Letter.

What does this mean? Sounds like they've got wind of something that might grease the wheels for everyone and the above is the worst case scenario?

[Jim05]

Terrible ground. Closest would be Plympton, Phos and Edwardstown.

Funnily enough was down there today for a job on Denham Ave which the oval is located on and had a bit of a squizz. What a bizarre oval if you can call it that, no bloody pockets on one side

[LaughingKookaburra]

Haven't played there for years. From a vague memory the goals at each end are on different angles too.

Id say the best thing lockleys should do then is to leave and affiliate with the SFL and return in 2019 via div 3

History would tell you in recent years that there is every chance of unforseen change

What I read is that a change is very much forseen.

Anyone going to fall over or leave?

Hence the Pasty, big fat wing on one side and no wing at all on the other, add in the trees hanging over the ground on the Morphett Rd end it is unique!

Marbles, both Brighton and MV don;t collect entry fee in the SFL....are you saying Marion wanted to keep charging to get in?
