Adelaide Footy League D7 - 2017

[Lightning McQueen]

Reminds me a lot of Paralowie, Just got renovated club rooms and not enough people doing what was required and all off a sudden the club folds and a soccer club moves in the next week basically.

A whole 3kms away.

Yeah, soccer clubs would swoop on their ground in a flash.

Just hope the clubmen of North Pines understand that once the club is gone its gone, nothing annoys me more than playing over 200 games at a club and not being able to go back there.

Draw has been updated with SPOS and Flinders playing this week instead of both having a bye (crisis meeting looks like a formality at this point). Not sure how the league can do that mid season but probably better for the 2 teams to be playing than not. Lots of implications for the ladder if this continues for the rest of the year.

What implications would that be though? NP have won 4 matches and 2 of those were forfeits and the two matches they did win were against the Crabs and SPOS...

Probz looking at the uneven draw as some clubs will play the crabs 3 times and some only twice.

It wont be a simple case of whoever was playing either of them teams will play each other otherwise they may end up playing the crabs 4 times.

Yep that was my point. We would end up playing CU and SPOS three times, back to back weeks in both cases (and extra trips out there as well by the looks). CU probably won't affect the ladder but I bet Adelaide Uni wouldn't be happy about SPOS getting an extra game against us and the free win with the PAOC bye seeing they had that last game. Uni's extra games would be against TTG and Para Hills, not exactly fair.

Yeah it's a tricky one but if you don't agree with the way it's been done, what would be your solution to solve the problem?

I don't reckon there is a fool-proof one.

Have to have two byes, unfortunately. Or shorten the season.

[The Bedge]

Or shorten the season.

Do that. Re-jig the draw, bring the season forward a couple weeks and finish early.

Win/Win for everyone.

[morell]

One day people will listen to me mate

I don't reckon there is a fool-proof one.

I don't have a fool proof solution either, was just putting it out there for discussion. At this point I think you need to leave it as 2 byes, too far into the year to do anything else about it. If the draw could be changed to shorten the season I think everyone would go for it but I doubt all the games would align to do it.

R.Hansen
I.Graham

Put their club before themselves and field two sides for the rest of the year as they did a fortnight ago.

What about a random draw?

How the hell are div 6 and 7 the most populated threads. Surely there should be more interest in div 1 & 2 but those threads are ghost towns. Thankfully I get a bit of interaction in div 5 especially if I dare talk the Rams up.

Anyway as fate would have it another juicy division 7 nugget has been unearthed today with one of the coaching alumni being offered a role at a league club in 2018. Probably a no brainer one would think that he will have new home next year.

I heard from a bloke who's sisters friends Auntys vet who gets her milk from the milky down the road who sold him an Dare ice coffe once that Dustin Martin hasn't signed at Richmond as he is awaiting an offer from Para Hills.

I heard from my sisters friends cousins yoga teacher that the offer is dependent on how much the great man Holland demands on 2018.

My mail suggest he is barley holding up as we speak. Only just half way mark of the year.
