SAAFL Div 5 & 5R (2009)

[Scout]

wow bulldog so other teams are just making up numbers.Top 4 in Div 4 or higher !

[gothebombers]

bulldog. i was reading plympton and hope valleys c grades are now in c4. what do you think

[LaughingKookaburra]

Bulldog they are talented but not a top 4 div 4 side talented. I see over the past 2 years the dogs have had plenty of numbers on the track and still have not gotten out of div 5. We've played North Haven and a couple of other top div 4 sides over the past couple of years in trials and they were ultra impressive. Mind you we have also played teams like Unley and knocked them off. Only trials but gives you an idea the top 4 sides are strong.

sorry i mean hope valley and plymton

I believe that's the word around the campfire. Seems a bit strange to me. C4 not ideal for HV

[maddog009]

very strange indeed..hope v and plympton both should be c5 but youll find maddogg that when teams ie ingle farm, clg nominate a c grade then on the deadline pull the team out, it kinda stuffs the whole system up, if you get my drift...but wait, i know what your gonna say.....ingle farm have changed there mind again because they had 60 out last weekfor an internal,,,,,,so if i was a valley boy or a plympton lad, id be pretty pissed.....but 50 or 60 is a looot of players hey

Plympton are playing North Haven in a trial match.. Will be very interesting... Have picked up some very good talent!! I agree not quite Div4 top 4 yet....

[LaughingKookaburra]

From what I hear North Haven are seriously struggling, so i'd expect you to knock them off...

[Phantom Gossiper]

so m b f....is ingle farm having a c grade or what this year.....

Yes I.F will have a C grade.

We have to accept that it is going to be difficult for some clubs to work out whether they will have enough players to field a C grade. No point getting pissed off about it. How can Ingle Farm's procrastinations on their C5 team result in HV and Plympton being slotted into C4? If they have been moved up into C4, wouldn't it be as a result of teams pulling out in the higher C grades?

Had to laugh last night, apparently in our pool for the Loxton carnival we were put up against 3 div 7 sides, one of them being Angle Vale, we asked to change much to some players disgust.

We had draft C4 fixtures up at the club on Tuesday night. Think we got them from SAAFL of iscore. Should be a pretty tough comp for our c grade I reckon! Will give it a crack though.

Expect Paul Niven to get the best out of his playing group at I/Farm this year. Very experienced coach that knows footy. Think they will do a lot better than what most people think. I would expect them to make the 5.

I've heard they're trying to push you guys into the top div.
They still need an extra side, maybe you should bring up your seconds and give them a go at them....

You coming up LM?
I'm hoping to get back from Adelaide in time for the early arvo matches. Spewing I won't be there for Saturday, woulda loved a bevvy with some of the guys from here.

When we went up in 07 LM (as a Div 4 side), we had Blackfriars (Div 6), Peake, and Flinders Uni(C Grades). The division above us had A2 sides. It's not the best spot to be in.

from memory you only just snuck home against our lads by a few points.
its a well run weekend and a great trial game set up just to get the cobwebs out if nothing else.
is it on this weekend or the 14th?
