Welcome to the forum, but I hope your spelling gets better???lol

So it appears Brighton have lost Norsworthy as he is trying his hand at Sturt. The question is if he doesn't play league footy, will he back at the bombers.

Also hear that Brad Hunter had somehow managed to package himself into the Ellis boys package (from victor) and will be playing where they are next year. So do these two players make much of an impact on Brightons chances next year, I know I saw Norsworthy's name in the paper regularly and was a key player in their midfield but hardly seen Hunter's.

Probably because they are the better decks in the league and as previously mentioned can cater for car parking etc....

Seriously, would you rather play/watch a final at Morphett Vale or Noarlunga - One has the best deck in the league, good catering facilities, parking and an oval that is suitable to watching good footy, the other can hold 20 cars an average deck and an oval you can kick past centre on from kick ins!

In saying that i think some other ovals could also be used - in years gone by Reynella was used and I reckon Hackham would be alright also.

Aldinga's deck is crap! You know a final at M/vale wouldn't be so bad - not saying I would prefer it because it is a crap deck but the atmosphere would be better as it is a smaller ground & people would be crammed in if you not what I mean!... Sometimes playing on a smaller ground suits other teams rather than playing on a bigger ground & in finals its tight & close, the smaller grounds could produce a closer game than you would think... That is 1 of the reasons I think the home team finals should be at the home team ground until the Grand Final... Catering facilities would be an issue at some grounds but I am sure something could be resolved to accomodate the extra influx of crowds... i.e. bring an extra cart/stand in etc...

If they don't change it or give the option - I don't see why they don't use Hackham or even Happy Valley's ground & there is still plenty of other grounds they can use instead of being the same grounds every year..

Aldingas oval 1 of the best in sfl, really good size and the surface is pretty solid. It's not the surface that makes an atmosphere its the supporters, if your playing and there is no atmosphere it's probably because you supporters decided not to cum and support, imagine going to watch a qualifying final between Cove and morphett vale (lots of supporters) at Hallett Cove oval, no parking area, really small ground, in my opinion would not be a good atmosphere, but play at aldinga or porties get lots of cars around the ground all tooting their horns makes for a great atmosphere

Aldinga's food is crap as well. They also run out of food before the main game most times too. Never have i had a decent feed at Aldinga. More often than not the local Deli is by far the better option.

Are you guys serious?!? I know I'm one eyed, but theres always food still cooking half way through the A Grade, better than some venues that come to mind. You don't fall down cracks, get concusion when you hit the deck, slice yourself up on the centre, get ridiculously muddy or kick half the oval in one kick at Shark Park. There is a reason why we have no problems getting finals at Aldinga, it's a REASONABLE oval, not the best but a long way off from a bad deck.

[Archer11]

You cannot be serious!! There are about 3-6 ovals far more suited to playing finals football and have far better facilities than the Shark Park. The association only provide you with these finals to help prop you up $$$ , not because of your facilities. How about Port Noarlunga (where all grand finals should be played), Noarlunga, Christies Beach, Brighton, Marion, Edwardstown. In my opinion the Townies should have a chance to use there grounds as well.

[post mortem]

Until the SFL works it out and splits the comp back into 2 divs it's going nowhere. The powers to be have no idea. Marion, Aldinga, Hackham, Lonsdale, Morphies and the like will never match it with the top 5. And it's the junior teams that are hurting. Junior teams being flogged by 30 plus goals each week will only turn kids off footy. As for the power house teams being allowed to have 50 kids in one age group on its books is disgraceful. Junior teams should be limited to 35 players per list with excess sent to the struggling clubs for the benefit of all. Get rid of the 4 team junior Sunday comp and spread these kids amongst the battlers. Time for the league to have some bite and tell Edwardstown that when they were invited to the league they had 2 years to bring their juniors across. Where are they??? Bring them over this year or p*#s off!

[Bag The Points]

Archer, you can't be serious. Finals at Edwardstown ????
You can't get you car in, and if you even take it you get a parking sticker
Shark Park caters for cars --- end of story

Im with you on the Edwardstown subject

[spot on]

Archer I can't believe you are serious, Aldinga is at least equal to most of the clubs you mentioned above if not better. Both Port Noarlunga and Noarlunga are clearly the best two clubs for ovals and facilities in the southern league which you probably agree with as they were the first two you mentioned. The only negative for Aldinga is the size of the visitors changerooms, but this is a problem with most clubs even Happy Valley after building a new one. However this is just my opinion. I think Aldinga gets a lot of negativity because it is percieved as being a long way away, I quess it is if you are coming from Brighton, but then that works in reverse also.

[Snaparazzi]

Anyone checked sportingpulse for the program for next year yet?

Of the top 4 sides -

Reynella - Brighton, MV, Cove and Noarlunga x 2
Brighton - Reynella, MV, Cove and Happy Valley x 2
MV - Brighton, Reynella, Happy Valley and Port Noarlunga x 2
Cove - Brighton, Reynella, Noarlunga and Edwardstown x 2

So going by that and last years finishing Cove have the easiest run of the top 4, interesting to note that Cove play Towns at Towns twice within 3 weeks i think which seems a bit strange?

MV and Reynella have to cop the BYE either side of the long weekend break, wouldn't think that would suit either team?

Oh well, it's out and i guess each team will make the most of their draw to benefit them.

At this early stage is a race between 4 again, them being Reynella, Brighton, MV and Cove, can't see any of the bottom 4 cracking these 4 powerhouses! Brighton being the only team in that group not to win a flag in recent times!

If true then a bummer for both clubs involved.... understand its Easter and the SFL will have the week off but the experience of running out on ANZAC day is great feeling as a footballer. Oh well!!

Think you'll find it's more to do with the fact MV are not in this years clash so it isn't warranted, with them returning to the big dance this year you'll find that the true Anzac Day clash will return next year.

Yes, you are correct with it Being the Southern Football League but we have to face the facts that these northern clubs are a part of our league and the venues would be suitable to play finals football. We have to embrace these new clubs to our association and share the finals around.
