Will the SANFL fixtures for 2012 be out earlier this year?

Glenelg going for 14 rounds straight we only 1 Sat arvo game, good for us Glenelg fans that love seeing grass roots footy!

Week nine is the state game, so for the majority of our players the week off.

My guess: The SANFL is forced to design its program around the WankTel cup. That a sovereign competition has to pervert its operation in order to accommodate the vagaries of a pretend competition is simply arse-backwards. What is more important - a balanced SANFL draw, or a "competition" whose raison d'etre is to give AFL viewers something to ignore in between AFL matches? If the FakeTel cup cannot be reorganised properly - ideally outside the regular SANFL season - then it is high time to tell the AFL and Foxtel to jam their plastic cup.

Couldn't agree more.

Bravo.

Well because under current structure any Foxtel Cup team could play up to 4 games, they need 4 byes.

Interestingly if Port or West make the Foxtel Cup grand final they will play 27 games in 28 weeks
with only one break for the state game.
- 3 trials
- 20 league games
- 4 foxtel cup

If they finish 2nd to 5th and do not win the second semi
to win the premiership they would need to play 31 games in 32 weeks,
state quality players would be up for 32 out of 32.
That will take some managing.

For South they only play 2 trials so its 26 games in 28 weeks for the trials / foxtel / minor round
