An A grade game is very different to many or all A grade games Big red. I think even you could grasp that you would try to get players on board and if they are not performing would be under the same team rules and be dropped to the 2's?

Been a long time since anyones even mentioned Myponga so I guess he's got that box ticked.

Apologies RODNEY... been promised an oppertunity to be an A grade player at Myponga is what i meant. Could you see any of these players playing magoo's tho?

My mail has it that Willunga North has just recently signed a new recruit for this season? Any ideas Who this might be?

Think you and I both know Willunga North have been in talks with this guy for some time. I do believe though he is contracted to aldinga for the year and Aldinga have said they will make anyone not play who is contracted rather than clear them, the wheels are coming off I'd say, alot of tension down there at the moment.

Very very big loss though if he goes, some might say the Posse would be disappointed

Why wasn't I told about this!!!!! The Yetti is in the dark again. If only someone could keep me informed. The last person I spoke to from Aldinga was Jaquesy.

first i have heard about it aswell, i dont think your on the money there boys, but im not privy to everything

Assuming your talking about Liam Shrive to play under his old coach at Mclaren vale?

HERE IS A NOVEL IDEA FOR IMPROVING A LEAGUE AND IT's CLUBS

The EFL board last night approved the regrading of the Nunawading and Kilsyth Football Clubs for season 2010.

Severely short of club administrators and having lost a significant number of senior players meant the Nunawading Football Club would not be competitive in division three in 2010. Consequently a move to division four was requested by the club to support their efforts to build an ongoing and more sustainable operation. The Nunawading Football Club is clearly of the view that it must initially take a step back in their efforts to go forward. The board supported the Nunawading Football Club request as being in the best interests of the club and the overall competition.

The Kilsyth Football Club was invited to consider elevation into third division for season 2010. After significant consultation between committee, coaching staff and players, Kilsyth provided the league with a request to take the position vacated by the Nunawading Football Club in division three. After meeting club officials and further discussing the clubs current situation, the board supported the ambitions of the Kilsyth Football Club and approved their elevation to division three for season 2010.

The 2010 fixtures for each division will remain unchanged with the exception of Nunawading and Kilsyth filling each other’s positions in the draw.

Surely NOT Vics why dont they amalgamate all of the divisions they have into one division and have say 15 teams in it allow some of the clubs not to have juniors but keep this AWESOME comp viable by splitting the clubs that have all grades junior games from where the senior ones are SWEET

[vics01]

2 Divisions I'll have a bash now, based on performance last 4 years and future prospect over next 4 years.

DIV1 can all field junior teams in all grades and have all been round a bout last four years. C/Beach E/town are the unlucky or unknown to miss out, but someone has to.

Gives DIV 2 sides chance to build and develop towards promotion.

Buying players in does not count as successful.


This is not about ego's it is about making football competitive.

I'm with you but what do div 2 do with juniors. Christies beach and maybe hackam are the only ones with full juniors.

[White Line Fever]

i can guarantee that if it went to two divs, it will kill the div 2 clubs.

I for one would walk and go play somewhere else.

It will never happen.

Thinks thats the reason why people say 2 div's, people are doing just that.

[Down the Hill]

On a purely A grade model Vics01 your concept is fine, however the reason why I have been opposed to going back to 2 Divisions, if we were to allow all current 15 clubs to continue to compete in the SFL, is that the junior comp for the Div 2 would be a joke and these kids will gradually move on to Div 1 clubs and this would kill those Div 2 clubs altogether. Just ask some of your long time Cove members how many juniors Cove lost back in the late 90's to Brighton, Reynella etc.

I'm not an advocate for seeing any club fold and it appears there are enough kids in the SFL area to sustain 15 clubs, however if the kids continue to gravitate to only 9 or 10 clubs then the problem will continue to exist.

The solution ?

The yetti has thought long and hard for a solution DTH. He paced the cave, he had a red wine, he had a coffee and finally fell into a fistful sleep.
On awakening....on this cool fresh morning in Kuitpo, the solution, the silver bullet, the answer to so many questions, the meaning of football life or what to do in the SFL......................................

Still evades The yetti.

[MR JUICY]

I do not think a div 1 and a div 2 is the answer either - I do think the North & South concept can work if the league attracts another couple of teams into the SFL. It is a difficult one.
On the junior side of things I still have an opinion that surely the SFL would want to see all clubs field there juniours. It does seem I think that one would allow clubs to have multiple teams whilst some clubs are struggling to field one - surely for the benefit of the comp there should be a distribution process to assist in this. Before anyone gets excited about their protected species and how hard their club works - I'll pay that but all clubs are working hard in this dept and it is not easy and can take along time to see results. Just a thought!

Zoning maybe? (although I can't see too many people supporting that one) What other sort of distribution process would there be?

Unfortanatly these clubs are killing the div 1 clubs. there is waaay to big a gap betwen the top teams and the bottom teams.
South and north is not the answer morphett vale don't want to play aldinga and hackam no disrespect to those clubs. but we want to play the better sides.
No one wins when there are 50 goal beltings.
we need better games of football more often.
But I Don't know what the ansew is.

Interesting, perhaps arrogant comment OME.
Perhaps they don't want you and perhaps you could go to SAAFL Div 3. and play better sides like PAOC
No disrespect

[Backliner]

Just heard Peter Garrett has been appointed to a committee on SFL restructuring, heard it here first

[Hills]

My opinion is bugger two different competitions. The way the SFL is at the moment is reasonably ok. Yeah we have 30 goal thumpings and yeah its harder for teams such as Hackham to recruit. But with some hard work you will improve. Stop winging on forums like this and get to your club, put your hand up and start something. Post letters, put up flyers, dont winge on here about it if your not going to put in the hard yards. I know some guys/girls put in the yards and still comment, its a credit to you.

Eventually if you put in the hard yards and of course raise and spend some money you will eventually do better. Hackhams 'recruit a B grader policy" will end up working for them, as i believe Aldinga will be on the bottom of the table at the end of 2010.

[HH3]

If you take notice of whos actually commenting, most are from the top end of the comp...i dont see any lower club people "whinging" about anything...

[asert]

No sh1t either end of the scale if you don't like it go play amatuer league otherwise just deal with it. As long as you are moving forward that is like a win if u go back it's a loss simple. In the afl there are teams like st kilda who lost 2 games and melb and Carlton of old that is the challenge. Hackham are improveing each year and everyone is trying to catch up to the emus. What's the problem with that
