in the meantime us div 7 clubs, not only at henley, but at smosh, modbury, shocs and even adelaide uni, who just want a kick and catch on a saturday afternoon, instead have to endure ridiculous opponents who are far well tuned than us, that are being paid to play, and who are men who ARE playing with aspirations of being at its club highest level.
who are we to volunteer our time to compete against this ridiculous and impossible equation? what a waste of our saturday afternoon, our petrol money, our sponsorship money, and just our season overall knowing that us kick & catch team mates might make st finals but striving for the ultimate prize is a waste of time. cos we essentially are just whipping boy guinea pigs to these other clubs
this is why div 7 clubs are falling off losing so many players because blokes cant be stuffed being smashed anymore
imagine a kick and catch comp only, where we all on the same common ground, play a best of the best kick and catch in the land. what an awesome hughly inviting league for kick and catch footballers, the clubs will flourish and ttg in div 8 is the example of this fact
and even the saafl headquarters will be impressed because their participation rate will rise, therell be more players on their books which equals more money

Hey Q funny you mention Ballatori we just realised who each other were after a couple of weeks of working on the same job site.
I think I've found a opposition player that didn't hate me! Lol

Clubs play like for like. Strong clubs play other strong clubs C & D grades, Weaker clubs play other weaker clubs A & Bs week in week out. Ends up with people and clubs playing against each who are all out there for similar reasons to achieve similar goals. Would add stability to these divisions.
The unfortunate part is having 9 team comps. Byes are shit.

So are all the clubs who are playing in c1 to 4 increasing their participation levels based on your theory?marbles wrote:imagine a cgrade comp only, where we all on the same common ground, play a best of the best cgrader in the land. what an awesome hughly inviting league for kick and catch footballers, the clubs will flourish and ttg in div 8 is the example of this fact

This is the problem, why would you pull apart a competition to cater for people who don't give a stuff.
Clubs that run a C-Grade that is not a reserves to the B-Grade soon find that it becomes a cancer in their club.

Some of the lads you play with are getting paid more than those in Henley's C grade though...

No.
Last two times we went up to D6, we were competitive. Next time I'd like us to make finals.
