Ch9 AFL Division 6 - 2015

[The Bedge]

It would be remiss of me to not make mention of yesterday's hosts Smithfield.

A lot of poor perception surrounds the Smithfield footy club (as does Ingle Farm), people seem so quick to want to judge without seeing first hand and base their opinions on rumours and innuendo or incidents years passed, but I must say the job Smithfield did yesterday was first class - the hospitality before, during after the game, the facilities, the management of crowd etc.

Gracious in defeat in the B grade in front of their very large supporter base - wouldn't have been easy for them after their season but the way they conducted themselves was a massive credit to themselves and their club.

Even partners and family who attended I spoke to couldn't stop praising the Smithfield Footy club - despite all those rubbish rumours they'd heard.

Nice ground, good facilities, quality depth in the playing group and one of the better supporter bases in the lower grades, I'm glad they've gone up - 2x years, 2x promotions - well done and good luck for the future..

Further to this, their committee has always been very welcoming of visitors too I've found.. It's almost like a little bit of country hospitality has reached as far down as Anderson Walk.

6 days out from the big dance and there is no venue yet? Wow....

Ok, you said that 2 posts ago.

SFL, needs 1 or 2 grounds for GF's.

Under normal circumstances, SAAFL needs about 8, with staggered GF's this will be reduced.

I mentioned in another thread that Thebby, Alberton, Richmond and St Marys would most likely be used.

We've found that the clubs playing in their own GF's tend not to want to host GFs.

In some cases, the league just won't let them because of sponsorship requirements or previous indiscretions..

It'll be released Monday morning - lets face it - who needs to know a week out where you're playing? It's not like you need to prepare for interstate travel or anything.

Alright, still doesn't make sense to me, just name a venue for each Div GF, Im sure thats the way it used to be a fair way out.

Anyway, please make it St Mary's

Go locks!

Divi 5 at St Mary's Dutchy

Richmond, Kilburn, Flagstaff Hill primary school car park, not bothered to tell you the truth..

Since I can literally see Kilburn oval from my driveway I wouldn't be against that, but Richmond oval would be nice also

Thanks Zartan, much appreciated. Well done to your guys on a great game and we wish you all the best next Saturday. We wanted to set things straight between our clubs from the start this season, we've had our troubles in the past, but we're two good footy clubs with a lot of good people in them. The way both clubs players, officials and supporters went about it this season not only showed it can be done, but how it should be from now on.

Richmond Oval being used for SANFL reserves, plan B?

WWT v Port Adelaide @ City Mazda stadium 2:10pm Saturday.. So yeh, pretty sure

[Footy Chick]

right then...plan B it is!

unfortunately I'm not privy to plan B at this stage.

You'd think volunteers from PNU, Salisbury and Kilburn would have other plans for Saturday and ROCS reserves are still alive.

Out of the regular amateur league hosts would have thought Kenilworth, Mitcham and Hope Valley would all be keen

[Footy Chick]

sending smiffies and TOS up to Mitcham borders on cruel

I reckon you might be getting a phone call tomorrow.

Kenilworth already probably has D5 which leaves us but I'd say a couple other league grounds would be getting phone calls first.

Golden grove have a gated ground.

Don't be afraid to call Prospect Oval either while you're there.. About as central to all teams as any
