Southern Football League

courtnay fish * Does anyone know the reasons behind the league's vote against the majority?

The league is in the power clubs pockets...they get what they want. Warman is the puppetmaster pulling the strings of the other maroon coats

I think this is about the most incorrect version I've ever seen. It was a number of the "power clubs" as you put it, that wanted change.
It is actually the influence of many lower ranked clubs that get more buy in with the SFL.

[spot on]

Big day at Morphett Vale oval tomorrow. Pink day for breast cancer, with the Emu A grade wearing a pink jumper with the black sash.
Should also be a good game against Noarlunga, these two clubs always seem to have a close game regardless of their positions on the ladder.
Hope it is a successful for all concerned.

[King]

Port Noarlunga v Christies result is still not up on the SFL site. Can anyone detail the result (and B Grade, too)?

[petoe]

Surely the $hoes are just taking the piss now and pissing themselves laughing at the SFL.
Were given a special extra allowance of points because of apparent mass amount of player outs, start winning a few games and now everyone is jumping back on board miraculously . Schutz and peach come back out of retirement and tasker and now despott transfer back in, who's next? Golding surely!

Christies and Porties play today I think you will find. In their local derby

Played today (Sunday)

[Dutchy]

Looks like in the A grade 5 teams have created a bit of a break on the rest in a tight comp. FH v HV derby in 2 weeks looks like a critical game.

Well done to the Flaggies 14's rolling Reynella for the first time yesterday.

Wondering where Edwardstown are at with Under 18 team.. Notice they have forfeited the last two weeks.... Is this as a result of the spoilt brats (adults) walking out and starting their own club a few years ago??

I'm sure it hasn't helped things but with mid season injuries, exams and u/18 national championships the drain to SANFL clubs would be at its greatest about now.

Sporting Pulse suggests $hoes played with 8 points against the Emus on Saturday. 4 points under the normal allocation that the club would have received from their finishing position in 2013 and 9 points under the 2014 points allocation for losing about 20 players that played A Grade in 2013. Surely people are not concerned that 2 players that had left the club decided the grass is not always greener and came home and that 2 guys over the age of 35 coming out of retirement might be a threat. Peach played in the B Grade against Morphett Vale on Saturday and stood either Gaskin or Short at different times. Looked to me like 3 greats of their respective clubs having a bit of fun and helping kids develop while they still can, Tasker (0 point player)did not play but Schuts and Despott (0 point players and both life members at the $hoe) did.
No taking the piss at all Peteo, so don’t let it get you down.

Seen $$hoeS beat emus on weekend ..tell you what very well drilled and oiled side.. Did notice that there were a lot of juniors playing in there side which is great for the club..caudle changed the game in the last half won the game for them.. What's all the moaning about shoes extra points for my eyes tell me they have made hay why the sun shines..credit to them have built a good side with juniors and a couple of recruits ..whingers are only envious a scared of confronting the shoe express.....

Sides finishing 1-6 in 2013 receive 12 points and the rest 15!
This season the Shoes received 5 extra points (as did others) after a review from the SFL.

Yes, saw that result fior the U14's, which is a great effort by Flaggie. Looking forward to the local derby as should be good footy right through the grades.
Our A grade is playing very inconsistent footy at the moment, so could be a very interesting day.

A huge pat on the back to Simon Robinson his army of helpers on Saturday. Possibly one of the best days ive had at Emu Park, for PINK DAY. The only blemish (for an emu supporter) was that Noarlunga were just too good on the day, getting the chocolates in the main game. Word is that over $12000 was raised throughout the day for Breast Cancer research, which is a phenomenal effort. Over $1700 of that was raised to see Emu star Tim Howell shave off his beloved Dreadlocks, with another $7K being raised with the auctioning of the PINK guernseys. Also like to say well done to Booga Schutz, who I believe played his 350th game on the weekend. Great effort. All in all, a great day of suburban footy.

Fantastic work to achieve 12K for a charity. Well done Emus.

Fantastic Crowd saw a good game and raised a tidy sum for a great cause , well done MVFC , thats local footy at its best putting the result aside

Munga and Shoey. You know I like you guys but the return of a few players and at least one out of retirement back playing A grade makes this extra points situation a bit on the nose. What's done is done but the SFL has dug itself a big hole for when applications for extra points are made in the future from other clubs. Some would say your last flag was won with "blood on your hands" with about a third of your team poached from Hackham. Could a flag this year have a similar hollow feel to it. You have a star junior player who played 8 A grade games as a 17 year old last year but is back playing U18 at the moment and dominating. I thought it was players like him that you got the extra points for to help bring in some experience around.

The extra points within the SFL is nothing new and the smell of envy and ignorance are well and truly here.

The work the football club has executed to manage a loss of players from season 2013 has been outstanding and should be applauded. We haven't sat on our arse and said its all to hard!!!! We looked outside the square with seeds that where planted 12 months prior and now are reaping the rewards with tireless work of members of the NFC. (AND ALL WITHIN RULES AND GUIDLINES OF THE SFL) That said you just have to view results of our B grade side that has struggled to repeat the results of 2013 where they sat 2nd for most of the season, THIS IS CALLED DEPTH. and when you loose 20 + players its called lack of depth.

Now Young Troy has played 4 A grade games to date and has been injured over a 2 week period also not withstanding form. We have also had Gibb/Godfrey/Hogarth/C Johnson/Ross all play A grade this year that are still juniors or played juniors last year.

Now DTH in stead of negativity towards the Shoe how about some praise for being reactive and positive.

DTH I and am sure others are more interested in the conversation you and VICS must of had over the weekend?? Are you deflecting criticism towards the Shoe after your draw on the wend?

SB We all know the Shoes jumped through the hole in the fence created last year by the SFL in granting extra points last season, all though that appears to have fallen flat this season for that club.. High priced recruits are not rebuilding..

As to Saturday DTH and I did not get to chat about the draw as he was was required for afternoon tea DTH at the 1st XVIII battle for no points.

Ah, those glorified interschool scratch matches that are seen as so vital to a school's future marketing that they would refuse promising young footballers the opportunity to play league football.

I hear Brighton Black are planning to do well in SAAS this year, it is concerning that one club be allowed to affiliate with two separate competitions however.
