If you are a really competitive and good side then E1 is for you.
Otherwise for the rest of us, just wanna enjoy the day without having to drive to Safetbay.

I played a handful of games in E3 last year and the top 4 teams hammered us by over 20 goals on nearly every occasion. The deck clearly wasn't even.

For what was supposed to be the lowest grade of Ammos in Perth there's plenty of blokes who seem to enjoy getting 35 touches against hasbeens and neverwillbes rather than having a crack against guys at their own level.

At the end of the day E Grade is meant to be the social grade for blokes who don't take footy that seriously...so sure it might not be quite the gravy train it once was for some, but at least the league is trying to even things up. This year my boys are the only team NOR in E4...but we have to cop that and if it means the comp is more even than fair enough.

Wow some close games in the E grades.
E1
Rossmoyne (E1) 19.24 (138)
Whitford (E1) 1.2 (8.)

Noranda (E1) 8.5 (53)
Swan Districts (E1) 22.6 (138)

E2
Kingsley (E2) 32.18 (210)
Bassendean (E2) 0.3 (3)

E3
Ellenbrook (E3) 5.3 (33)
Beechboro (E3) 22.19 (151)

E4
Canning Vic Park South Perth 4.2 (26)
Safety Bay 19.14 (128)

We lost to bayswater by 25 goals.

E4

Forrestdale (E4) 4.4 10.7 19.10 20.15 (135)
Kelmscott (E4) 0.3 0.3 0.3 0.3 (3)

Another close game.
Why they didn't put the all single team clubs in E1 and E2 is beyond me.
Well at least they get a chance for a flag.
They will then move up or not.

Go figure with Safety Bay, last year they were in E1 and playing ok footy.
Now in E4!!! Bewildering stuff.
The administrators of the E leagues have not done a good job.

Safety Bay should not be in E4. Will go close to undefeated

Got to agree I found the jump up 2 grades for us was a bewildering one considering we finished 3rd in E3 and found ourselves playing the E2 Grand Finalists. After seeing Norando get pumped I am wary of how the rest of the season will go considering they obliterated basically every team by 100+ last year.

It's impossible to get it perfect, but such a jump for a bunch of drunkards who don't train and have a kicking efficiency of about 8% should make for an interesting season. Oh well, as long as there are cold beers it will all be good.

Does anyone know if your club nominates your preferred grade or if the league allocates it?

I know alot of clubs jump at the opportunity to go up whilst others are more than happy to stay put.

Dunno, maybe that explains some of these crazy jumps?

pretty sure E Grade is allocated
