Brahma should put 'SWFC' on the back of their jumpers as a mark of respect to the club they've amalgamated with.

cool story bro

nope, there is an oil well under the club - wait till you see the new rennos, now the council have nearly finished after 10 months

I for one would like to hear more from @ballsack

[hollywood7477]

Haven’t heard any Parkies updates in a while. I’m assuming a few people have stopped visiting the local watering hole? @the apprentice @Hollywood7477

Don’t visit any watering holes. Got told by the father of the lad!!!

Spreading rumours about a div 7 footy club and you’re not drinking? That’s probably more embarrassing to be fair. I feel sorry for you.

So a 19 year old that lives at Sellicks Beach is going to travel all the way to Mitchell Park to play for free!!! Hmmm ok yeah it’s a rumour

I was travelling to K.I for free at the same age. So the logic there doesn’t really add up too well tbh.

How long ago was that cos things have changed Buddy!!! If you think they are going to play for free then ur very naive!!!

[morell]

Ballsack is Mitchell Park's footy director

I've got no idea if he's playing for free or $2000 a week, but Sacky would

[Ballsack]

Regardless of if he is or not;
Firstly it’s unproven, therefor a rumour.
Secondly if we’re going off age and distance travelled, the argument makes no sense..
So from that we can establish that old mate Hollywood mustn’t have a very exciting life, if trying to be a div 7 news breaker is the best thing he has claim to. Hence why I still feel sorry for the bloke to be fair.

Blokes that play GSFL reserves will come up against a teams that would beat D7 teams easily. Good on Mitchell Park attracting blokes to their club that they think will assist in their current position and as long as they are sticking to salary cap rules then what’s the issue? Just because people think they won’t get a kick then it’s worth slagging off on an Internet forum? It’s not AFL and every club in Australia has at some stage done some recruiting that people question. Play on...

Should start a poll or play a simulated match?

Really good point. If you are a club that's just lost a few in the off season and there is the option to bring in some talent from a country league that can do a lot for a playing groups morale heading into the season. And as stated, a decent reserves player who cant regularly crack into the Senior side, can still have a decent impact at Div 7 level. Let alone three blokes.

indeed, I was talking to the B grade coach of Plympton and he mentioned about playing a final out there - I quizzed him on the lighting situation and got a very blank look

Can tell the real footy people

I’d prob ballsack the footy director at a Mitchell Park if he’s paying b Graders to play for his club. With all the players he’s lost you would think he would try and recruit A Grade footballers not b grade but hey if ya wanna be a mediocre club recruit mediocre players

Didn't Flinders Uni recruit a bunch of B/C graders from Mitcham last year? Looks like they had a reasonably successful season.

Going back a few years now but when Modbury's C Grade were part of the Div 7 Comp (up against some pretty hand sides like Smithfield, Houghton, North Pines etc.) we managed to play finals and did so on the back of "C Grade" Footballers when our club was Div 3 at the time. Not sure how much the quality of the Div 7 comp has changed since then but if you added some solid Reserves Footballers into our side back then, they would have been noticeably handy inclusions. I think its pretty naïve to assume that you need to target A Graders from country and metro leagues in order for them to be worth spending any dollars on at Div 7 level.

You've obviously never watched Money Ball.

[morell]

This whole conversation is utterly absurd

I've known A graders from the GSFL I wouldn't pay petrol money for and B Graders I'd sell the farm for. Heck they've been D7 footballers that have won much higher level association medals and played div 1 on coin.

It's almost as if footballers are human beings and have a variety of reasons why they play at the level they do. Who woulda thunk it.

Having seen the players in question train and have a scratchy, I'm more than comfortable in their ability to contribute to our A Grade this year. Payment or not.
