The two years we played against them in div 5 I didn't find the players dirty at all it was mainly the supporters that caused all the trouble.
I always thought they were a good side back then as well, had some quality young blokes amongst their side, really was a shame when they lost them all and dropped away.
Really when you think about it, they've done a tremendous job given the hurdles they've faced to not only avoid folding but come back from a 1 team side back to 2, and now looking dominant again.
when your a club that continually allows shots on goals to roll into shit creek i think this takes it toll on your respect for the footy
if the southern end of the smithfield oval can be modified to prevent every ball from rolling down into shit creek then the footballs can remain golden fresh and not waterlogged destroyed and devalued by having to be bombed into the streams of shit creek
if the club can take a higher regard on the footy so to might the players lol
about 4 big very capable blokes down there, who likely would rank in better than any of our boys and most times u blokes got it down to them they rewarded yas on the board
midfield easily more run in them abd thats the difference between a cgrader & an agrader
good showing raiders & good luck in the 7 pure agrade divisions next year haha

but it was error error error error, good kick, error, error error, mark, handball, error, error, error, turn over bang houghton goal
I thought your guys skill level was actually not too bad!!!
I reckon ya decision making not quite as good. You seemed to play the far side wing alot, you wanted to kick it back out there when you already had possesion in the corridor!!!!! Then try to play up that side to goal.
Also you could have done more damage in the third quarter when you had an extra guy on the ground if you sent him up forward!!!
All in all you guys were very competitive though and dont look out of place in Div 7!!!!!!

agraders performing well at the top & the cgraders in a league of their own filling up the numbers happy to be your bunnies, not!!
north pines on the rise, how high up the ladder can smithfield get back up to? pending results
Adelaide Uni are still a chance to finish top of ladder, they are a C grade side mate!!!!
Facts don't do well in marbles world. For him, adelaide uni and Henley struggled every year they spent in div 7. They didn't get promoted to div 6, that was a conspiracy wrought by the scientologists to take over the world, one afl club at a time
Where's Bill? Yeah... Hmm... Bill is on the Villa Quatro, on the road to Salina. I will draw you a map.

eveyone agrees it should be...
As v As & Cs v Cs only
so wooper-dee-dooper-dee to past achievements of the mighty blacks and mighty sharks
henley were dog shit in div 6, ttg didnt even turn up, shocs refused to be promoted and uni with their stocks/depths can go close to winning more than 5 games once a decade. writing on the wall there & there
uni with 7 sides are surely rated an exception if the A-Comps require an extra side, theyd be welcomed??

Did henley, shocs, ttg and the blacks still sing the song when they conquered div 7? Or was that an exception?

What's more marbles is that you know that Henley and Adelaide Uni have the greatest depth amongst c's and d's. All you want is cheap,flags. No other club would match you in you plaything super C's. You would be the false kings of C-Grade.
Sprouting your carings of "lower clubs" is false at best

tea tree gully are a formidable opponent beat us most times
sacred heart would have more wins than losses over us
modbury are ahead off us in recent times
smosh are young with a lot of talent and could beat us on their day
adelaide uni would probably win the flag most years, but who cares its about cgraders playing cgraders
PAC a storming to huge depth and wouldnt fear us
# even in cgrade super league henley could struggle to make the finals right now
the main thing is its cgraders playing cgraders and who ever wins who cares, at least it will be fun, appealling and un-dreaded, with the relief of not having to play clubs with devoted training senior agraders
let adelaide uni win the flag every year - I DONT CARE
happy to be your bunnies, not!!
