Adelaide Plains Football League

Round 1

Round one:
Two Wells v Virginia 40+
Balaklava v Mallala 1-39

[Caramels]

Just wandering if i could get a clarification on a rumour about Two Wells going to have to fill their B Grade side with 17s this week

Yes that's right.

Not a very healthy start to a season.
Might be time to reignite the discussion on joining the APFL & BL&GFA under one banner. A couple of APFL teams might have to join forces to co-exist.

[OnSong]

Pretty sure they're taking the piss.

[Freaky Tah]

If Two Wells are apparently stuggling to get numbers for the B grade how are other teams looking for their B's, senior colts and junior colts??

[GIDDY UP!]

Round 1

Two wells 1-39
Mallala +40

There has been a well documented shortage of senior colts players at several clubs.
Again though, I'm pretty sure Two Wells is not struggling for numbers in any grade

there Bs will be right as with other teams i reckon,senior colts are in deep trouble,the first 4 weeks will tell us more,junior colts i think are not to bad.I read that the barossa has the sliding rule in now,how long before its here,like i said it just confuses teams in assocations games when some umpires pick it and some dont

Two Wells v Virginia - Roosters 1-39
Balaklava v Mallala - Magpies 40+

[Mythical Creature]

Virginia 1-39
Mallala 40+

Kilburn 1-39
United Black 40+
Hummocks Blue 1-39
I just don't think United Yellow or Hummocks Red will have the same quality as the opposition.

I can't see how that would resolve any such issue, no APFL clubs are in danger, HWE struggled as much as anyone could have last season in the B's but still managed to get a team on the park each week.
There is always plenty of supporters in attendance no matter where each team is on the ladder, apart from the obvious problem at Under 17 level things are fine, even metro clubs struggle to fulfill this age group, school, part-time jobs and a bit of fluff to contend with makes it difficult.
I thought it was great how the side with the bye provided players for United last season in the senior colts, perhaps they could look at Under 18's, 15's & 12's for the future?

not trying to be negative but this would only prolong an issue that will still arise.

Wouldn't the sensible thing to do with senior colts be making it U18like SANFL? Would help the numbers issue and kids can always back up and play Bs if needed. I used to love playing two games back in the day.

It seems kids that age don't like playing one game!

[Kcco]

Pretty sure they're taking the piss.

Two wells reserves actually are struggling for numbers from what I've heard, had b graders turn up to trainings but no more then 10 in one training. Could be a long season if depth comes into it.
