Anyone know where the U12 carnival is being played this year?

From the programming it seems OSBL have lost it but no news where it has gone?

King may have had a few reds by the time he posted.

Apparently a good comeback in the last by the Falcons in the As.

Yes in deed, King had enjoyed a few reds (as he is now!)
Nevertheless, the elder Bush Pigs have endured 25 years of snide comments against the FHFC.
Now it’s time to gloat.
If you don’t like it don’t read it!

This much is true King. Hope the boys fire up this Saturday, MatteeG is keen for a few quiet ones, and a few loud ones at $4!!

On a positive note there was a huge turnout for Hank Middleton on Saturday which ended with a great win over Reynella. Unfortunately things turned sour soon after that after the A grade sang an alternative version of the club song which Hank had suggested at the AGM few years back resulting in the captain being called in for a meeting.

To All Current members and Past players,

On the 23rd of June, following a great win against Reynella Football Club I asked the players to sing a non club song to honour Hank Middleton.
I did not think of the ramifications of my actions at the time, it was past player’s day and many of the past players and members had come into the change rooms, and were looking forward to singing the HVFC club song with all the players.
On behalf of the playing group and to all who attended the day, please accept my sincere apology.

Was it really that bad he has to make a public apology?

Nearly all of the comments suggest people were fine with it. Overreaction from the Club to force the Captain to make a public apology.

When your captain has plenty of offers to play elsewhere and ties to Noarlunga the best way to keep him is to force a public apology. Club is being run by idiots

[phossil]

In hindsight probably best to have sung club song then Hank's. Anyway all intentions were good so shouldn't be an issue. And shouldn't cloud purpose of honouring Hank.

They have known for a while. The oval had a clash already too with under 14 girls and under 15's both programmed at the same time. It's being sorted out from what I've been told. Girls and Ladies when some ovals free up during Carnival finals and 15's after would be good, that's my preference. But it's a long enough day as it is for organizers and volunteers.

[Dutchy]

Fair enough, interesting that OSBL get to fund their 2019 AdFL season from the SFL clubs that attend on the day, thought it may have been moved.

Maybe all the money they make out of the day will be going to their SFL activities (Women's, girls and Sunday juniors)?

Do Christies host SFL finals to fund their Adelaide Footy League Female teams. Or Happy Valley? Or Aldinga? This is sarcastic BTW, good on them for placing their teams in a suitable League.

Where would be an alternative venue be that could have 5 ovals running and room to set up camp for 20 plus teams?

Their sub juniors are still in the SFL so may be run by their minis committee

Not sure the women's teams have a payroll, but anyway play on.

Pretty sure Affiliation, umpires, strapping, guernseys and footballs etc aren't free.

[Down the Hill]

Come on Dutchy, your SFL bias is starting to rank with LGIL. Clubs must do what is best for their playing membership and their demographic along with the expectations of the league or leagues they are in. Brighton left the SFL for those reasons and so have others. Whilst others have affiliations across more than one league seniors and juniors. If the leagues and the SACFL allow it then so be it. OSBL has the largest space for multiple small ovals, they are still affiliated with the SFL in the age groups represented in the carnival so why shouldn’t they be entitled to host a carnival still.

[Dutchy]

Have no problem with them hosting, other might though. Good on them.

"No problem with them hosting"

Is that you Pauline?

I have no problem with them hosting the carnival, but I can see that others might.
