TOPIC:

I guess the message is to either take it a bit more serious and train/warm up, or dont play at all.

I have been on the "giving" end of a couple of 10 goal hidings this year and we find that once the team we are playing realizes they are going to lose, thats when a win turns into a percentage booster. Most teams can match us when they really apply themselves, yet our percentage suggests differently.

To those teams complaining about being "bumped up" a few grades, I would take it up with your president as im pretty sure a few were asking to be bumped up grades despite their ability for whatever reason.

So, because we get bumped up a few grades I should stop playing? The whole ethos of our side was to come down, train when/if you can and have some fun playing some social football. Half of our team work away so they are unable to train.

And I can categorically tell you that our President did not ask for us to be bumped up at all. We weren't consulted and only found out when the fixtures were released.

I know there is nothing that can be done and whinging about it is pointless, I can only hope they reassess the way they grade the E Division next year.

My club is in E1 after being in E3 last year and being the coach I know for a fact the President made many requests for it to be changed. Palmer didn't want a bar of it saying the E grades were even.

That's Bullshit!

I'd be confident any team in E3 last year put in a complaint about this years fixturing.

No but I would say maybe you should play a bit better!

The cuts me deep joomla016. All my life I hoped to be a talented footballer, able to create magical plays on the field and win the respect and adoration of not only my team mates, but the opposition and supporters.

I once dreamed of being able to compete in the lofty heights of E1, where only the elite play, alas I have not been able to master the game of football at these dizzying heights.

Every night I pray to Thor himself that I may be able to get better, but due to full time work commitments and many outside influences I just can't find the time to transform my skills to the upper echelon so that I may hit a target by foot.

However, if you are offering your coaching services I am usually available for a kick around on Sunday mornings (hangover permitting) so if we could pencil something in for this weekend that'd be great as I fear, playing against the top side, we are going to be in for a thorough walloping on Saturday.

Cheers mate.

where's the like button!

Damn Viper, I was looking for that too.

Crikey some more close games in the well structured E grades...
E1
Brentwood Booragoon 5.7 (37) - (should of been put in either E3 or E4)
Swan Districts 26.11 (167)

E4
Forrestdale 3.8 9.9 13.11 20.16 (136) - (should of been put in either E1 or E2)
Dianella Morley 1.0 1.2 2.2 4.4 (28)

Wanneroo 2.1 (13)
Safety Bay 27.18 (180) - (should of been put in either E1 or E2)


Hopefully the sides on the receiving end of the floggings can stick it out and hope that the fixtures are sorted next season.

Don't worry about Dianella Morley - we'll be fine.

Yesterday was a tough game against a physical Forrestdale who are a single-team club.

We are the DM thirds, so any players in form go up to play ressies or league - single team clubs don't have that issue.

We had a win by about 20 goals the previous week, that's just the way it goes.

And our guys did not stop trying yesterday, however tough it was looking on the scoreboard.
