Southern Football League

[Luke15]

So what are peoples thoughts on the benefits of the week off?? Is it that beneficial??

Both Semis were hard fought in hot weather and Brighton have 1 less day to recover where as Flaggies have 1 extra day to recover.

[Down the Hill]

Six or seven day recovery is a myth at this level and probably more of a myth than reality in the AFL even though coaches try and convince the punters otherwise. 6 days plus travel for both games either side of the 6 days may have some basis in the AFL. We had a "long trip" to Aldinga yesterday so who knows if we will recovery from the extra 10 minutes in the car as opposed to playing elsewhere. The challenge for our lads will be clearing the sand and dirt from their throats after yesterdays epic final that will be remembered as "Sandpit Sunday".

DTH
It's one thing to change venues on the same day such as what happened on the Sunday of week 1 but already too late to try and switch days for next week. Players, coaches, support staff, would have already made plans with work etc. around what day their team is playing next weekend. And I can assure you that Noarlunga and Brighton won't be moving from a Saturday Preliminary.

Would have thought it would make sense for BDOS to bring their sides from Sunday to Saturday to have the whole club feel and triple your supporters for the day!!

Pretty lame the made plans for the day excuse..

I hear you Vics and agree with the obvious logic - but assuming any swap would not change the current A grade listings - that would mean 16 teams that would be affected by a swap who would have known for 2 weeks what Prelim Final they were in. Even the teams that played the weekend just gone have known what day their Prelim would be for 2 weeks, if they got that far.

The SFL and clubs should have seen a strong likelihood of this coming after the first week of finals and flagged a possible change of Prelim days well before last night and this morning. I believe it won't be changing and I can assure you BDOS had no say in that decision.

Anyone able to shed light on latest round of "Future Directions" talks that are happening with the SFL and the clubs?

Heard on weekend there have been a few meetings already but haven't heard much else

Any progress being made?

A little bit of this and a lot of this

Any rumors yet of a replacement?

Heard there are some big injuries at the Shoe and the Pigpen?

Shoe injury's doing what?? At training? Or maybe wading through the onk in bare feet?? .

Flaggy's would have a few changes I would think.

A. Carey back to NT for cricket!
Appeared a few of Flaggy's big blokes injured last week.
Maybe 3 or 4 changes needed.


Winey's very quiet.. Both Mcentee's playing? should be a cracker game.

Didn't continue or fell on his sword? did he still have a year to run on contract?

His decision according to facebook

[The Big Shrek]

Edwardstown to div 3 ammo's?

[banterfordays]

Beat them without Carey once, can do it again

3 Changes

How does the ammo's work out that Edwardstown slot into div 3?

there is only nine teams in d3, so this may be a sweetener to get Edwardstown back???

B Grade - Reynella by 26 points
18 - Reynella by 5 points
16 - Reynella by 30 points
14-Bushpigs by 28 points

Not sure where you are going with that one Shoe Boy. And no love for any of our teams AFC9798 although granted that 3 of our 4 Prelims are against the Vikings.

Weather looks perfect for a great weekend of footy. Light winds forecast for tomorrow so hopefully the September wind at Bice Oval isn't too bad. Might depend on how much hot air is coming out of LGIL. Sunday forecast is for stronger winds which will add an extra element to the games at Porties.

Correct weight DTH. I won't back against them, but most nervy about the 18's game. Should be a good day. In A Grade, think it will be close, have a lot of respect for the way your boys have played this year, but Noarlunga have so many options. Good luck.

Sorry, I forgot there was still football being played this week.

Watch out for random Mexicans hovering around Bice.

16 - Reynella over Bushpigs One of the best 16 sides I have seen for a while.

Agree they are very good, but we have got within 3 points twice now this season, gives us some hope.

16- Valley by 21 points

HV will smash Brighton in the 16's
