E Grades 2023

So has Lynwood/Ferndale pulled out and only putting in a colts team?

Lynwood Ferndale have been struggling for numbers for a few years in the E Grades. I umpired them 2 years ago and the only had 15 so it would not surprise if the club folded.

Lynwood in e2 and wce colts.

Fixtures are out FYI

Why would Lynwood Ferndale bother playing in such a low grade. Winning a premiership in this grade would mean nothing. Pretty weak from the clubs administration.

The alternative would be to not play at all Jords.
Very difficult to come back from after players leave or retire.

At least with one senior team on the park, they’ll only need to have the core of their colts graduate into senior footy and be able to field league and ressies in a few years.

Lynwood Ferndales Colts won’t want to play E2 football. They will move to another club before they play E2.
There are 73 clubs in the PFL and Lynwood Frrndale are the last ranked club in the PFL so they are ranked 73rd in the PFL. They can win every game by 30 goals in E2 and they will still ranked 73rd. So basically it is a waist of time beating up on Clubs 3rds and 5ths. Players who don’t train or have little skill. Surely someone at the club has some pride.

I heard a club has just pulled out of C1 this week and is going into E 1 which will leave C1 with 9 teams.

So SNESA join E1 and Nollamara are out. C1 now left with 9 teams. Not great for any club to drop teams.

Ventured down to watch forrestdale v balla yesterday. I am amazed that forrestdale are still allowed to field a team after the way they go about their football. A dozen+ late head high free kicks and several yellow cards in the first half had the umpires warning them of reds if it continued in the second half. Apparently it was ‘football’ they cried but hopefully the league puts them on notice come 2024.

WOW Sugarkane I must have been at a different game on weekend, not sure your comment about several yellow cards is anywhere near accurate but hey that is the joy of this forum as it allows anyone to come on here and talk shit about other clubs. must have been disappointing to see Balla loss to the bottom side

I had a chuckle reading your post Sugar so I rang a few mates to rag on them about being thugs and there was only 1 yellow card issued not several ?‍♂️. I told them I preferred your story.

If you’re comfortable saying there were no yellows then good on you mate.

ah yes. Always handy dropping back a handful of ones players and ring ins for a farewell match.

oh sorry my bad I didn’t realize I said there was no yellow cards in my comment before… taking the loss hard I see, enjoy the off season like we will
