2021 Adel Footy League - Division 7

[Burner]

Tell ya what, you can pretty much set your watch every year for this forum to have peanuts not understand lower division football to claim some random dude that's played a higher level who

"Would be too good for D7"
"Will tear it apart at this level"
"Surely the best ruck/forward/defender in the comp"
"Shoe in for the medal"

Or whatever. How often does it come to fruition? Almost never.

D6/7 has always had high calibre players. It's not the top end of teams that causes clubs to be in lower divisions. It's the lack of depth and consistency of talent.

What the "guns" very quickly realise is that its not tennis or another individual sport. It's a team game. And you're reliant on the talent of others. In these divisions that talent isn't always there.

If you're a midfielder, maybe you won't have that elite tap ruckman putting it exactly where you want it or the defensive team mate block for you every time. If you're a forward maybe the kicks are to the left right down up and not on your nips. If you're a defender maybe you don't get that team defensive help.

Invariably those more talented players try to do too much, fail, get frustrated and then don't deliver on expectations.

Really good take. See this happen all the time, not the walk in the park some expect

these sorts of sensible comments have no place in the Div 7 forum

He's the best defender in the comp, he can say what he likes.

Looking the fittest he’s ever been after a massive preseason

Good post.

weird because an Ambulance station is about 2 minutes from the oval more then likely still in the hospital car park waiting to be seen to

Probs got stuck in customs at the border.

I’d like to see any ambulance at a Station unless they are changing drivers. Been that way for 10+ years...

A cracking first round fixture.

I don't think there will be a lot between the top 5 sides, Greenies to be the smokey for mine, Units will go well.

Greenies will have arguably the best midfield in the div

Good post.

How fit can one be with only one working knee?

Houghton by miles, they have recruited heavily and the whole Club, even Q has been on a media ban in the pre season

Except for his fetish for no club shirts at a rival club

Units have also recruited almost every decent footballer in the Northern Suburbs and they at least have club shirts in their announcements

everyone else playing for the 3rd step on the podium
