Agree, far more embarrassing by Fitzroy
Disagree. It’s A grade football. Celebrating and carrying on like taking a picture in front of the scoreboard after the game is a seperate conversation…
It's division 6 non professional "A" grade football
As soon as they got 40ish goals up they needed to practice some circle work and throw the magnets around
Putting up 82 goals is pathetic and demeaning. Only thing they achieved is to humiliate people who are no doubt volunteering their time to keep their club alive. Absolutely no need beyond that.

There were many personalities in my playing days
Some of the players were Phil and Steve Barrett and a rover Sammy Heywood- Smith [ Smith in his last name?]
These guys were all boxers as well being hard tough footballers.
Getting thrashed is going to happen to clubs at various stages
FWIW The Elizabeth boys may not realise at it now, but they are kind of famous
The players in years to come will have a yarn or two to speak off

The Bedge wrote:Alright here's my final solution... Move Elizabeth from D6 to D6R, and have a bye in D6.
Benefits:
More balanced competition for Lizbeff
Easier to move players between B/C grade and field sides rather than with B grade bye.
A graders get a couple extra weeks off to freshen up.
Downside:
Earlier games (10:15 and 12:15) - perhaps tinker with start times so home clubs aren't heavily impacted.
A Grade missing two games during the season - who cares, not any different to B grade at the moment.
Some clubs may only get one game for the weekend, or if they forfeit, get none - well that risk remains even with them in the A grade comp.

Rd 12 for instance they host Houghton, or Rd 16 Ingle Farm, or Rd 17 Rosewater.. imagine Rosies going out there Rd 17 needing to win and suddenly being met by a team of one off guns all for promo purposes.
If they play B grade, less impact on clubs - might still cost a club a finals spot still, but clubs are build around their A grade and promotion / relegation is around the A grade.

This is a good point, heard yesterday Daniel Gorringe was gonna put his hand up for a game. Whilst he's no megastar, he'd be pretty bloody handy in Div 6, you'd think. Elizabeth have 12 of 15 points available, too, so that could be 3 or 4 guns

Yep the Joel Selwood one is gaining momentum as well. Could be all rumors however.
Srey from marmalade is an ex Elizabeth junior and its not unfathomable to think they will get a bunch of lads together to have a run, wont be a huge performance difference but none the less.

Great point, you don’t want another scenario like the SFL in the mid 2010’s when the Footy Show flew Shane Crawford to play for Aldinga. They deliberately missed 3-4 opportunities in the previous rounds to play the top 5-6 sides and they waited to play OSB Lonsdale who at the time were also struggling. From there players I knew said pregame preparations were treated poorly by the Chanel 9 production team and left players waiting around so Sam Newman could do a skit. Crawford dominated and Aldinga won which I thought was a disgrace from the SFL for allowing that opportunistic circus to take place at the expense of OSB. Nothing stopped them from doing in the weeks earlier.
