sunday comp is directed at school footy getting them to play club also

[flaggyfalcon]

why don't the league grow some plums and only allow teams to have 1 junior team per grade as well. This might help some of the teams that struggle to get juniors get them. This is a problem for clubs that work hard then lose a kid to morphett vale or reynella. I know of at least 3 kids that play sub juniors at lonsdale that have been approached by Reynella and asked to play out there as lonsdale is a crap club with no future. Until the league stand up to the so called power clubs then the league will not adress the balance between top and bottom, which i think is what everyone wants.

absolute rubbish Farva.. but thanks for acknowledging flaggies as a power house club as we are lookin to field sunday teams in 14s n 16s.. But seriously u think all the kids playin in the sunday comps r comin from clubs like lonsdale hackham and marion??? Flaggies for example have been fielding numerous teams in 4/5s and 6/7s comps and then when the kids hit U14s and 16s some only get to play 9 games a season.
I think the sunday comp is a great idea, gives all the kids plenty of playin time while still playin and training with mates

Mate just letting you know we field teams in every grade every week. The ones without juniors are Aldinga, Lonsdale, Morphy Parks...

[flaggyfalcon]

mate got nothin against hackham, just dont agree with farva argument that most of those playin in sunday competitions are comin from weaker junior clubs.

Yeah id agree with you there. I think its more the fact that when those kids start playing footy they either go to the closest club or the closest competitive club. Eg some kids living around Hackham Footy Club would rather go to Morphett Vale. Plus theres the fact that kids want to play footy with their mates. So big groups are likely to go to one club instead of individuals spreading out across the clubs.

I must have missed it, where in Farva's post does he say that all the kids playing in the Sunday comps are coming from smaller clubs?

Just to set a few things straight
1. No side that fields a team on Sunday in the U/14's or U/16's doesn't field a saturday side. They are M/Vale, Cove, Happy Valley, BDOS, Reynella.

2. Marion is fielding an u/16 and Aldinga an u/14 side.

3. Twisties, OSB, and Edwardstown are the sides not filling sides in the colts (U/14 - 18).

[Esteban Vihaio]

Easy fix - Scrap the Sunday competition and use the second sides to fill the gaps like they used to. Has worked fine in the past and gets rid of the bye.

There are 13 teams in the u/14 and u/16 saturday competitions, if you added the five teams from the sunday comp, you will lose the bye, but
1. you will 18 have teams, so teams will play at different venues from the seniors more often!
2. BDOS and possibly Cove with their college kids, may not actually be able to fill a second side, meaning you may be stuck with the bye anyway
3. The kids playing in the second sides will get pummeled week in, week out; And a lot of those kids will give up the game or move to another club.

I also belive the last time they played in the same comp M/v second team rarely if not never played on there home ground

Well i know that at least 2 of these clubs are considering only having a sunday side due to the 6/7, 4/5, 2/3 not changing to 8, 10, and 12. So they dont have the numbers with out college kids.

did liam harris from osb/lonsdale play for port noarlunga v mc laren on the weekend? and has a clearance been put thru by port noarlunga to clear him yet?

[a2m]

No liam harris didn't play against us on the weekend...

1. If that is the issue, play the 2nd teams in a separate competition (ladder) yet program them in the gaps to smooth out the draw (they have done this in the past), may make the div 2 juniors unbalanced and a little complicated to program but the focus is on allowing the kids to play games and the premiership for this grade is rather meaningless anyway.

2. Brighton and Cove both currently fill a Saturday side - I do not see what the issue is here

3. Some kids in single team clubs get pummelled by the first teams of multiple team clubs - that is football and maybe that will make some of these excess kids want to join the single team clubs and even out the competition as a result.

4. If the kids are worried about not getting to play at home, suck it up, either play for the club you want to and work harder to make the first team, or join another club if you want to play at home.

Pretty simple really

Pretty simple really

1. I'm sure a premiership to the sunday juniors or saturday div2 would mean something to the players, parents, and coaches even if it doesn't to you
2. Brighton and Cove can field two team with college kids and probably only one without. Would you prefer these kids to have ties to the SFL or just Sacred Heart when they finish high school?
3 and 4. I'd rather have more kids playing and enjoying football, resulting in more seniors than a few people getting put out on a saturday. Kids want to play competitive football and with their mates; if that is not their, often they'll go play another sport.

Ask yourself, Are you more interested in having more kids playing football or having a few people put on a saturday.

Perhaps you should "suck it up".
