2021 Adel Footy League - Division 7

[morell]

Well I for one would like to hear more from @ballsack

[MatteeG]

I saw OSB/Lonsdale had a trial game on Saturday at home- who did they play and how did they go?

[The Old Fellow]

May have missed it earlier, but the fixture has Houghton playing at Greenwith Oval rather than at home. What has happened to the Houghton Oval?

Oh, i reckon they played the Hackham Hackers, and the hackers hacked 'em

[Dutchy]

[Lightning McQueen]

Finally someone used "term" instead of "quarter" when there was 6 of them.

[Broken Down Hack]

WOW, best players for trial games, impressive

[MatteeG]

Cheers- looked like Hackham were wearing a white guernsey, no wonder I didnt recognise them.

They are getting new clubhouse and change rooms built

I reckon this Div is going to be very exciting and interesting to see how ends up. 4 clubs picking up good numbers with quality players too. So it's going to be hard to pick the 2 teams who will play off in a GF.

My prediction for the ladder after the GF is:

1. HOUGHTON
2. GREENACRES
3. CENTRAL UNITED
4. BRAHMA LODGE
5. FLINDERS UNI
6. ADELAIDE LUTHERAN
7. HACKHAM
8. LONSDALE O/B
9. MITCHELL PARK

So North to beat South with Lutherans in the middle of them?

should just split into a North and South and be done with it

well at least the Div 7 R Grand Final, that is a given

[Oldboy]

Pete Smith is a very handy inclusion for Houghton. You would expect him to carve up div 7 even as a veteran!

Veteran being the operative word

Still be the best small forward in the comp

Tell ya what, you can pretty much set your watch every year for this forum to have peanuts not understand lower division football to claim some random dude that's played a higher level who

"Would be too good for D7"
"Will tear it apart at this level"
"Surely the best ruck/forward/defender in the comp"
"Shoe in for the medal"

Or whatever. How often does it come to fruition? Almost never.

D6/7 has always had high calibre players. It's not the top end of teams that causes clubs to be in lower divisions. It's the lack of depth and consistency of talent.

What the "guns" very quickly realise is that its not tennis or another individual sport. It's a team game. And you're reliant on the talent of others. In these divisions that talent isn't always there.

If you're a midfielder, maybe you won't have that elite tap ruckman putting it exactly where you want it or the defensive team mate block for you every time. If you're a forward maybe the kicks are to the left right down up and not on your nips. If you're a defender maybe you don't get that team defensive help.

Invariably those more talented players try to do too much, fail, get frustrated and then don't deliver on expectations.

these sorts of sensible comments have no place in the Div 7 forum

He's the best defender in the comp, he can say what he likes.
