2024 season

Saw a cracking game in Div 2 yesterday, Ghan v Adelaide Eagles. 2-2 draw. Decent standard displayed by both teams, great end-to-end football. Looking forward to watching Eagles more this season when time permits.

[Redflag1]

The Downs v Modbury game was a cracker too.

Finished 1-1, a really late goal to Downs who were down to 10 men to salvage a draw.

Both keepers saved a penalty each.

Sunday div.2 looks like a cracking league this season tbf. Could be some absolutely belters in there along the way.

Adelaide Atletico looked impressive, did they sign any new players this season, i didnt recognise anyone.

Probably adjacent at Fitzroy Footy Club again. Not ideal, but couldn't find an alternative pitch.

Who's playing where today? I might be tempted to go down for a look.

Had a free afternoon and went to watch Angle Vale VS Elizabeth Downs on Sunday afternoon.

Frenchy was the ref, and as usual had little to no control of the game. Really lucky no one got seriously injured.

Game was hard, with both Teams missing some easy chances. Nil all at the half. 2nd half Angle Vale had the momentum, however the game ended 2-1 with Elizabeth Downs for the win. Poor defending on the right cost Angle Vale with both goals.

Tempers/behaviours of some of the Elizabeth Downs "supporters" and players boiled over at the whistle, poorly reflecting on them. It was unnecessary.

Overall a really good afternoon of old fashioned hard football.

Angle Vale have built something huge, with year on year promotion, and clearly a well run set up. Bar and food prices were cheap, quite the opposite to most venues, certainly NPL. Food was also delicious.

The crowd was really big, so could see this new rivalry really developing.

The food at angle Vale has been quality for years now. The people in the k1tchen do a cracking job for their Thursday night meals - as well as game days.

[Redflag1]

Big Crowd at Para Hills East v Tea Tree Gully too.

A game with little chances, TTG missing a penalty with the last kick of the game to miss out on a draw with Easties getting the 1-0 win.

Young match officials who all did a very good job.
Was great to see.

[Prince Nuggett]

Travelled to watch PHW and The Downs on Sunday - as a neutral of course. Downs keeper incredibly lucky not to receive a red card for retaliation and sparked a melee. Very lucky indeed.

Good quality game with the Downs on top for the most part. PHW look to have a couple of handy enough players and could do some damage.

Opened this thread to post about these 2 playing each other in the Cup yesterday at Ghan's ground, what a game for Div 2, the promotion race is going to be interesting this year

Eagles probably went a little over the top when the final whistle blew, but great players and supporters for both sides on display yesterday, glad Steve was the ref, others have shown they can't deal with the pressure games like this bring.

Ghan defeated Eagles 3.1

[nathanburns15]

AKFC v Virginia game abandoned yesterday, anyone know the story?

[Farpost]

At the half-way point Eagles & Ghan clearly the standouts of Sun Div2. Their skill and speed well ahead of the rest. Barring any major on/off field incidents blowing up (surely not??#!!), I suspect these two will pull away from the pack as the season goes on. They have the ability to well & truly test the sharp end of Prem A next season, if they retain current squads.

BUMP
Sunday Div 1 going down to the wire this season.
Downs slipped up over the weekend and with the 3-point deduction they've received it's now very tight at the top.
Big game against Gully coming up

[Nice One Cyril]

Do they have finals in SAASL?

No

[Black Panther]

That's the best system.

Unley copping a 3 point deduction for abandoning a match against Downs - Angle Vale probably breathing a sigh of relief as it puts them that bit further above the drop zone.

Angle Vale will need to hit the ground running next year if they want to stay up.

[Redflag1]

Modbury took it right up to TTG on the weekend and unlucky not to get a point.

Gully will want to be a hell of a lot better this weekend or its going to be advantage Downs.

Heard there was some commotion after the game??? Any comment....?

Nope

All friends again in the clubrooms afterwards

[Frank Costanza]

Congrats to all those teams that have either won their leagues or sealed promotion with a couple of games to go.
Sunday Div 2 going down to the wire with regard to the 2nd promotion spot

Sunday Div 2 going down to the wire with regard to the 2nd promotion spot

Ghan deserve to go up, keeping a +35 GD with the worst keeper in the League - I'm sure he's a nice guy but couldn't catch a cold

PHU play Beograd and West Beach
Ghan play Vale and Gardens

West Beach play Eagles and PHU

the West Beach vs PHU game on the last day of the season could end up being huge for all 3 clubs

[Farpost]

Adelaide Eagles & Ghan clearly the most talented teams in Div2 - they are both capable of mixing it with the big boys in the Premier division.
I suspect any of PHU or WB's challenge next year (if promoted) would just be to avoid relegation. WB couldn't meet that challenge in recent times; Unley are coming straight back down, and Modbury, whilst staying up, haven't challenged at the pointy end of the league.

[Farpost]

Regarding challenges for next season - what will become of the once mighty Gardens?

[LUFC_MOT]

Div. 1 and Div. 2 could have very different looks about them if multiple clubs that nominated for Federation all go..

I think once the formal announcement happens it will change the outlook on next season

[Redflag1]

The clubs that do go, how long will they survive in Federation?

Wait and see the junior fees triple, it might just be a death wish for some clubs especially the ones that want to remain in amateurs as well.
Where are they going to get the extra players, qualified coaches from? Pitch useage, wear and tear.

Interesting times.

All seems a bit rushed to me and not well thought out.
