SAAFL Division 6 2013

[One Eyed]

Two of the three outs at WOS did not play in 2012.. Surprised Edwards came up at all is a league player at the bays

Purely speculative ladder

I stopped reading here. But I did hear Collingwood are joining Div 6 next year. Not to worry they're no chance as they're negative 3 for recruits.

We have this debate every single year, but I will reiterate, clearances mean naff all when push comes to shove. It really is a case of the proverbial "not seeing the forest for the trees". You need to look at the overall picture and see not only the recruits and their standard, but also where the team was before the recruits. This is why I still rate Mawson Lakes, Lockleys and CLG over Rosies despite the raw numbers in the clearances.

If we are starting at a much lower level, which according to several independent sources we are, then we will need those +13 recruits just to stay in division 6. I can categorically tell you that only 4 or 5 of those recruits will be playing regular A Grade. Yes, Weekley is a great player, however I don't think any of the others would be at his standard. Hope to be proven wrong though!

[sprinttospace]

ours is more 1 out 0 in
dean didn't play a game for the club i don't think, matt fox has never played a game, mckenna 5 b grade games late in 2012, keast half a season in 2012 - last time he left BOS we won back to back flags, here's hoping history repeats itself.

I'll go out on a limb and suggest Aysh Simper will have a pretty reasonable impact at this level. If nothing untoward has happened to the bloke since I last saw him could well be as good as if not better than Ben.

[morell]

He is going to be handy no doubt, and maybe I am bias, but Benny is my favourite.

You don't win 6 Best and Fairests at a club and not get mountains of insta-cred and respect.

Aysh simper is one of those blokes that will go straight through anyone to get the footy. Always running at 100%. I know if he'd done a full pre season and trained at brighton he would've played A's. A very very good get for MP, his physical game suits div 6 extremely well.

How about Ty Corey, pretty impressive stats here - Ty Corey

Or regular A Grade Div 1 player Chad Francis??

Should be the cherries on the cupcake for CLG to push into the top 2 or 3 given their already strong squad.

we finished 6th morell..and have lost the BFG!..plus riddler has stolen alex rochow from us!!!

Ty will be a good player coming back to the club this year but his stats are from the BHFL not Div 1 SAAFL..
5 A grade games and 2 B grade games for Francis in a season makes a regular Div 1 player does it?

your deflection once again alerts us all that you are attempting to hide from the spotlight

Not at all.

We're starting from a lower baseline that you blokes.

Just look at theses comments from the neutral esteemed populace of the SA Footy forum:

A further comparison is that Woody South would have smashed Mitchell Park

Mitchell Parks will lose more matches than they win. IMO

I like the look of Lockleys for the flag, and Mitchell Park for the spoon

I wouldn't be suprised if MP were relegated

I reiterate. You need to consider the bigger picture. Weekley and Simper don't take us from relegated to finals side. They take us from relegated to hopefully not relegated and a chance to build again.

CLG were very, very unlucky not to make the 5 last year, adding a couple of very good Div 1 capable players should see them push into the top few. I think it is you who is deflecting.

[Q.]

Mawson Lakes did very well last year by adding only a couple of quality A-Graders. Mitchell Park are, at this point, seemingly setting themselves up for a similar year.

[moses]

Oh well once again the season is done in Feb, 16 recruits into the Div are going to win the medal so i better let John know to strike a few extra medals for the night.
Some recruits may have only played 6 A grade games and 2 B grade games in Div 1 and may not be superstars but what they are is 2 points!

Look forward to the CLG v MP grand final!

So Flanigan will win the Medal & Rosewater will play Mitchell Park in the GF. Call the season off now I see no point in any other teams or players playing.

make up your mind moses!!

i say MLFC v WOSFC or RFC is likely and have since the start of the year..is that better?

[moses]

Rosewater have told us all they need to pick up a lot more so y wouldn't i believe the great man Horse, Clg v MP for me know.

[morell]

Mawson Lakes Vs Lockleys for mine. CLG a close third.

[morell]

daish

Has some health issues, in serious doubt, still very young.

francis

just had knee surgery

wilde x 3

only one has trained semi regularly... Doubts over other two.

plus some of the others played SFL or GSFL..

yeah in the b's, c's or u/18's.

[zedman]

ok morell..good luck..we will see soon enough..you guys will be fine imo..

whats your top 10 then moses if you dont rate MLFC, LFC or RFC to be in the GF? pretty silly leaving MLFC out i would have thought? finished 3rd in 2012 and lots of quality recruits..

[Gatt_Weasel]
