Greenock Football & Netball Club reforming

[carloss]

Would it be better for them start with a single side in the SAAFL first and then go from there?
Or is it too far out?

SAAFL were receptive to the idea I think.

But they are gathering momentum with numbers, so they probably don't see the point.

As for too far out, no idea.

No chance of happening, the Apfl can barely accomodate Hamley bridge let alone another team.

I'm only going by what the club is reporting. I doubt they'd say anything otherwise.

Unless Hamley Bridge won't be around much longer....

I know what they are reporting but it just isn't feasible, Hamley won't be going anywhere, they are paying the price for chasing quick glory.

I did hear rumours a while ago of the schlungers making a comeback. Very surprised to see a thread about it on bigfooty!

No way I could go for them if they were in the BGLA, but I’ll watch the progress with interest.

And is anyone able to get past the paywall?

Tempted to pull on the boots... only live 10mins away... I just miss Saturdays playing football... beer... deep heat... at 38 I might be a bit past it but..

Did this club ever get going again? or did COVID put it to a stop?

Not yet. I think Covid may have been a bit of a factor. I'll find out some more information

I know a few of the lads up there and they don’t seem to think much is happening.
No one knows what is going to happen with the APFL in the next year or two either but I’d think a few country leagues doing it tough might be looking at a merger

Yeah same mate. They basically told me GFNC has gone quiet due to Covid and lack of support from local leagues which is sad.

APFL are going alright with 8 teams but with Balaklava again looking to leave the APFL (they applied to join the NEFL for this season but got told "thanks but no thanks"), one wonders when push comes to shove.

Most of the league's are Ok for now, although the EP is in trouble - the Mid West League is basically done with Wudinna United and Central Eyre merging and the new club has been allowed to join the Eastern Eyre FL, and West Coast and Wirrulla have joined the Far West league, leaving Elliston and Western Districts.

They weren’t told no , the sanfl wouldn’t allow balak to change leagues

Correct
The NEFL was more than keen for them to join.
If Balak left I think it would possibly drive Mallala to join the BL&GFA and that would be the death knell for the NEFL.
Think there will be a big shake up of leagues in the coming years

 

[Heardy_101]

A majority of the NEFL clubs voted no from what I heard....

 

[Heardy_101]

Honestly, Hummocks Watchman and Balaklava joining the NEFL wouldn't be a bad thing although I don't fancy the Eudunda Robertstown roadtrip, that's for sure.

Currently the Eudunda to Snowtown trip is the longest in the NEFL, Balak would be 10-15 minutes closer to Eudunda than Snowtown is. Likewise Port Wakefield to Eudunda.

 

[Heardy_101]

BSR and Blyth Snowtown have the honours of the longest road trip to the Saints (Eudunda and Robertstown). Quicker to drive to Adelaide.....

 

[Heardy_101]

In fact the Saints roadtrip is the only one in the NEFL I haven't done yet.... And I really don't want to lol. I'll stick to Tigers home games

I think we're talking about two different BSR FCs lol

 

[PoppedCorn]
