2025 Adelaide Footy League - Division 7

I feel like Flinders Uni are really up against it as a footy club.

I'm not sure how many rural kids/interstate kids go to Flinders for uni, given it's a bit out out of the way. The new train line helps but it's still hard to get to.
Plus, the new campus in the city would mean the non-Adelaide kids going to this campus wouldn't have any connection down south.

The other clubs seem to have it covered right through the grades and/or standard of footy.

I feel like the attraction of playing there is always going to be as a social club.

From the outside looking in it seems they have had a fair turn over of coaches the last few years. Seems that they have a new coach every year. Cant have stability in a club if you’re changing coach every year. It would be tough being a Div 7 club and coaches seem to want to coach higher once they have a year of coaching A Grade.

You would have to get a coach who is willing to do the hard yards to build some structure and the club would need to back him in for a few years to get players and give the club some identity onfield.

You'd think so.. but footy's a funny game.

Expect Brahma to improve on last year, Hackham have been inching closer to the mark for a few years now and Flinders Uni is an unknown quantity.

Mawson Lakes + Central United should remain competitive.. and Mitchell Park are due for a return to finals.

Smithfield is probably the only side I struggle to see showing improvement to be honest.. although their B grade played off in a GF last year so who knows.

Typical Bedge post—it's the same comments every few posts. The only thing that changes is the division or the team. It's starting to get a bit repetitive, mate.

My repetitive post was pretty accurate - Elizabeth dominated, Brahma improved and finished 3rd, Hackham got close, Mitchell Park played finals and Smithfield got the spoon.
