Adelaide Footy League D7 - 2017

[morell]

Yup. Can only claim ignorance I suppose. My favourite is the classic underrating of the SFL and GSFL every year. I recall some posters on this site claiming Brighton were D6/D7 standard.

Prove it.

I really do hope some of the people that complained earlier are reading this.

To be fair, they are paying for a MUCH better standard than Div7 ammos.

Like OSB and Marion coming in to D7 next year?

I do agree though. That's why I think its fair enough. $10 for an afternoons entertainment is good value.

$15 for a GF is good value as well, considering the rest of the year is free.

Back when I was playing & we'd recruit someone from amateurs you could just about guarantee the 1st game of the year they'd be like WTF is this shit, paying to get in to local footy.

Was that players as well? I know some league charge players as well as spectators

My strong suspicion is the loudest complainers are the "once a year" attendees.

I would suspect your strong suspicion would be nothing but supported by the non-anecdotal evidence jo.

I heard that there is more than a chance and that the SFL have told OSB and Marion point blank to move on due to not having U18s

Not true. We actually filled every compulsory grade (8/10/12/15/17.5 B A ) this year. In fact we are guaranteed a spot if we want it.

Rightio, I'll throw that mail out with the Target catalogue then.

Yeah you cant quote them now because the thread is locked.

Yep. Players & club members get in to home games free as part of their subs/membership but all pay at away games. U18 don't have to pay & parents of mini colts & junior colts who leave by half time of the senior colts get a couple of $ refund
Gate takings from H&A go to the clubs, finals takings go to the league

It's a tax deduction though, cos every player does a tax return on their earnings from football [emoji23]

These might be them

Reading the last 4 pages makes me want to throw up. So all us loyal SAAFL clubs get stuffed around and have less chance of a little bit of success, but more chance of being demoted, just to accommodate 2 SFL teams. And One that left our comp, but now wants to come back. So glad i have worked my ass off since October to try and succeed.
Leave em in SFL or start in div 7. Why should we suffer.

S Demon that is the wrong attitude(cop it sweet my arse)you should be fighting tooth and nail to stay up over these johnny come latelys.You know how hard we fought to get to Div 4 and shouldn't be forced to go down. Hope the Valleys lead the charge to have these new clubs start in 6 or 7 and earn their promotions like everyone else has had to do.Imo the league is trying to get too big and are forgetting the clubs who built and stabilised the great competition we have.

West Croydon are currently undefeated and have belted some sides in Div6 and are in Div6 because they deserve to be on previous years results. No new teams should be given a leg up and go ahead in to Div5 let alone any other higher grade.

if Brighton were to come into Div6 would they have the same team.im sure sfl teams would try to recruit off them and some players wouldn't want to play lower grade amateurs.see how badly they want to come into our comp by starting them low

[morell]

Thanks LGIL.

[morell]

Then there was that Ditchy peanut who claimed Brighton would struggle to make the finals. Good call that one.

To be fair none of those posts put Brighton as D7 standard.

They're just posts from people who were unhappy about Brighton being offered D3 (and MP being offered D4) which has not necessarily been the standard for new clubs entering the League.

As a matter of curiosity how is Brighton's standard this year relative to last year? I imagine getting blokes like Juniper in would be fairly helpful

[The Bedge]

Exactly jo! I don't think anyone actually thought or believed Brighton would be D6 or D7 standard - they're a powerful club FFS..

Manipulating crap to suit your arguements again morell

No doubt they didn't actually understand what they were saying, but the fact they thought the premise of a now D2 club playing in D7 was reasonable highlights how little idea many people north of Cross Road underrate the Southern Leagues - which was another example of my overall point that people complaining about $15 for a GF ticket are obviously ignorant of how other competitions are organised.

Rubbish.

If you say " I think Brighton should play D7" then you think its appropriate that they play D7. Which is utterly insane and highlights their ignorance on other comps. Which supports my argument completely.
