Re: SAAFL Division 7 2014

Great win by houton over uni. are all the uni boys in brazil?

feeling for smosh boys, 30 goal loss. sure they chose to come to div 7 (if not forced too) but 50 blokes again just want a kick and a catch on a saturday arvo made to play highly tuned paid agraders. what a ridiculous competition ...

Re: Young coaches.

Not sure if it counts bu I coached a winning Div 8 team at 22 way back in 1990. It was our 4th side that year.

Congratulations to Darren "The Jerk"" Graetz who plays his 500th senior game for the AUFC this Saturday in division C3 (the scum) versus Pulteney old scholars at University Oval.
May well kick his 1400th goal as well.
This is an awesome achievement and it's been a pleasure to have been involved with ...

Re: Ch9 AFL Division 7 - 2015

Can sum1 explain why the Div 8 grand finalist are not in this division or are they gonna be when it's finalised
Because div 8 was setup as a nominal grade for those clubs that had c and d grades so that these sides could play at the same grounds hence reducing volunteer pressure. It was never ...

Re: Ch9 AFL Division 7 - 2015

Exactly what I said before finn. Why not put SW in with us?

Because why should D7 be where one team clubs have their year of grace?
Div 7 is the grade where the lowest a grade sides play. My understanding of the c1-4 divisions is that they are so named as they contain c grade sides of higher ...

Re: Ch9 AFL Division 8 - 2015

Times to sing the club song on the oval:
1 - you have to sing it on the oval when the following side is still in the change rooms
2 - after winning grand finals (or finals possibly)
3 - when the opposition supporters have been so shitehouse that you want to show your pride in your club (contentious ...

Re: Ch9 AFL Division 8 - 2015

I generally try to select 23 rather than 25 if possible. I think 23 is decent in that it allows extras to play but doesn't make the coaches job ridiculous. I also believe that the a grade divisions (div 7 and up) should select 22 each.

Re: CH9AFL Division 2 2016

Saw something today at the SHOC v SCOTCH game that caused much debate in my talking circles. Behind was scored and the ball went on an angle and bounced back in to play. The bloke kicking out picks the ball up and whilst running back to the goal square does an innocent chip to himself....

In the ...

Re: CH9AFL DIvision 4 2016

We're coming across to the SAAFL next year but I've been reading the SAAFL forums for several years and it seems some of you blokes care far too much about B grade success and flags. Not much use making a B grade grand final if your A grade get relegated.

Re: 2016 C Grades thread - general discussion

Salisbury Nth C1 train Wednesday nights. It is clear every other side trains with there A's and B's (More so B's at a guess) some very well drilled sides in C1, The standard has massively surprised me.
Uni's c1 side trains with the div 7 side on Thursdays and with all lower grades earlier in the ...

Re: 2016 C Grades thread - general discussion

have no idea about that to be honest, if they were put higher and requested lower then it was a poor decision by the league. They do have form in the c and d grade in doing that in the past.

I think that at the least if your a div 1 club and you have the numbers then you should be in C1 as a ...

Re: Adelaide Footy League D7 - 2017

Given the current rules state that clubs have to forfeit from their bottom grade, I can't see why they're dropping what is essentially their c/d grade. I would tried to maintain sides in 7 and 7 res and drop the bottom side. It also seems remarkably quick; two weeks in and done. What's to stop clubs ...

Re: Adelaide Footy League D7 - 2017

finn, help me out.

Before the game I said to our coach that the Southern end of your ground always has more goals kicked than the North, to the point that when I was coaching I played a +1 at that end to start with. The term I used is it almost works like a funnel. Pop it up and the ball seems to ...

Re: Ch9AFL C GRADE Divisions - 2017

Think you'll find it's their average losing margin - Bad luck that their first two games were against the competition leaders.

Re: Ch9AFL C GRADE Divisions - 2017

Congrats to Wayne King on his 300th game for The Blacks in c1 tomorrow. One of about 6 or so players do achieve this in the club's 110 year history.

As the song the club sings about him " what were his parents thinking?" However
