Port Noarlunga v Reynella - Game of the round easily. Wineflies to win.
Flagstaff Hill v Cove - Falcons
Ironbank Cherry Gardens v Happy Valley - Vikings
Morphett Vale v Christies Beach - Christies by over 100
Noarlunga v Aldinga - Shoes by over 100

[UpThere]

Agreed, but I think the shoes dingy game might be close.

[Happytowatchlocal]

Port Noarlunga with the win of the season.

Looking at the current standard and results of the GSFL and the SFL has the time come for the leagues to combine and have two divisions? OR maybe the SFL clubs bite the bullet and move across to the Adelaide Footy League.. The top few might be around div 3 level the rest will find their level.

Porties looking like the early favourites so far, with Reynella just behind them.
Valleys look placed to cause an upset if either of those two slip up.
Flaggies are just going at the moment, injuries and form seem to be mounting against them.
Christies look to be most likely to make the 5, barring a late surge from the Shoes.
Cove the best of the rest.

[Frank Gallagher]

Valley's definitely the favourites at this stage. Throw a blanket over Porties, Flaggies and Reynella.

I got blocked for calling out their match previews that were clearly done by AI, the sad part is I have missed nothing of importance on their socials since then!

Absolutely lost the plot with this stuff havent we.

Breeding a generation of kids conditioned to expect that you should never have to lose or feel discomfort.

Life is going to hit them with a tonne of bricks.

It probably has some place in the lower age groups, but definitely not U17.5

Kids need to learn about being a good winner and a good loser. Valuable life lessons. Sport teaches that very well. Take that away and it will certainly be a disadvantage growing up

Yep, 100%. U13s would be the highest grade I'd have the rule applicable. The funny thing is that PlayHQ still has the proper score and all the goalkickers anyway, so it's still available for public consumption.

Some of these U17.5 kids are also playing senior footy, and there's no bloody mercy rule there!

Vikings - Sharks Vikings could stop playing at half time and win
Falcons - Shoes Falcons easy
Cobras - Wineflies Wineflies bit of a game maybe
Saints - Port Port and good to check where the saints stand
Ironbank Emus Ironbank

No idea on game of round SAints and Port Noarlunga maybe

I think Reynella win pretty easily. Game of the round maybe Shoes/Falcons

No real standout games but Shoes need to put up a fight if they want to stay in touch with finals.

[UpThere]

Few reality checks upon thumpings this weekend

[wenchbarwer]

No real standout games but Shoes need to put up a fight if they want to stay in touch with finals.

To be blunt, they had the absolute snot kicked out of them. I worry for their future, I really do. They played in a GF in 2023, and look lightyears away from returning. The usual bunch of mercenaries they employ look horrid, Mott looks like he has the weight of the world on his shoulders (and played like it), and from all accounts there was quite a bit of squabbling amongst the Shoes players during the game.
Their B grade looked like a bunch of C graders at best, and their 17'5s rely on 9 top-ups from Cove.
Combined scores of the 3 most important grades for your senior club were 69 to 422.

This is what happens when you focus on buying flags (and failing) instead of developing juniors.
