Re: Silly Season

What happened in the Cichinowski final? Downs putting 7 past Jets (I don't Jest!) - after being thrashed themselves earlier in the week by Ghan? Unfortunate if any truth in Unley rumour. A bit late for League to start rearranging fixtures now - looks like a 9 team Premier div? Downs chose to rest p...

Re: Silly Season

Modbury Jets splashing big cash on players, going to need it to be competitive in Div 1. I think you are referring to the fake jets aka modbury soccer club. Modbury Jets have won div 1 for the last 3 seasons Comparing Saturday Amateurs to Sunday amateurs is like compaing the SPL to the EPL. I don't...

Re: Nothing to see here.

We should rename the A League, which google constantly confuses with me looking for "a league", with something more descriptive, say, Australian Football League, AFL for short.

And we could call the SAASL, the Adelaide Football League, AFL for short.

Yes but that's just caused by the poor performance of their A grade through the season, not the review of this C grade game.

Re: Intra State Association Series

Saturday 2-4 Sunday.

Hopefully next year they do it at the end of season as a round robin. Maybe CSL were in the same position but I know both Saturday and Sunday had player availablity issues, as players were either away or focused on winning their leagues.

Pitbulls want to move to their ground, so that they don't have to play on a school oval with no real facilities / bar etc.
