Nek Minnut, Brahma Lodge in Div 8R

Are you trying to tell me that they had 4 teams last year including a D grade in 8R and this year after their A grade reached the GF and earns promotion they have one team playing 8R

No i was taking the piss.. they seem to be going down a grade a week - from 3, to 4, now 5.. joking that soon they'll be in 8R

[Boosh]

Clearly a joke!

But you can keep that statement and change Div 8R for Div 5.

So they are in Div 5 now. I did check Div 4 and noticed their absence. Kind of makes their last two years of GFs pointless. I can imagine the outrage of the rest of Div 5 if they make the GF this year. I would assume this is an extremely unlikely scenario though

[Phantom Gossiper]

Correct

Would get rid of the bye in 8R...

Hope Valley are looking for a trial game for a combined C/D grade, maybe 4 or 6 quarters on Friday night March 28th or early Saturday March 29th. (11am) At this stage our ground is unavailable, but that may change after the weekend depending on whether our D grade cricket side wins their Semi Final or not.

PM if you are interested

How are the numbers looking out there for the C's and D's, S Demon?

Assume Bundy has brought a few out in his debut coaching year...

[marbles]

i'll put it out there and say that PNU's C-Grade squad could beat any current C-Grade squad in the SAAFL?

Why???

[jo172]

i'll put it out there and say that PNU's C-Grade squad could beat any current C-Grade squad in the SAAFL?

I think Uni, SMOSH, Henley, Sacred Heart, Flinders Park, PACOC, TTG, Golden Grove, Old Iggies and Modbury might have something to say about that.

Let alone the perennial C1 strong teams like Walkerville, Goodwood and ROCS

[Footy Chick]

Yeah, that's like saying Mighty Mouse could beat Superman, Batman and Spiderman in a fight

Yeah numbers are really good at this stage. We have signed over 30 new players to the club as a direct result of Bundy being the coach. I would say around 65 players for C's and D's so far

[marbles]

well c squads are normally just a bundle of whos ever around that year and how big the surplus is from the a & b grade squad that determines whether your c's are a powerhouse or a not so hyped place to be

currently ya get impression PNU is the place to be, the in crowd, the channel with all the ratings lol

but i will retract on my projection and instead state that PAC c-grade would pump any other cgrade in the saafl, considering i saw at least 80 blokes at their agrade bgrade preseason night

So if you had attended a TTG preseason night, you would be making the same statement about us, considering there are large numbers out there also trying to play A's and B's.

You also don't know how many of those numbers will stick around once they realise they aren't getting a consistent A or B grade game.

Big call considering very limited information...
