home finals

[on the rails]

or why not go North and the Eagles at Richmond and Westies and Centrals at Prospect

Oh yes Locky - North plays at Ricnmond whilst someone else who we may encounter later in the finals plays on our home ground!

PS TSG says hello!

[Macca19]

seeing the poor crowd at aami

Which was?

Just over 7k apparantly, down by 2k from last season

Maybe the SANFL should 'grow the pie'

[SDK]

Lets hope the SANFL appoint someone with vision and hands on experience with the SANFL.
I nomiinate :
Centurion
Wedgie
Fester

Could do a lot worse than those guys !

[dedja]

I vote for Beavis ...

Your xxxxxxx joking!

Well Butthead has just left so makes sense

[Dutchy]

Ive said it for a few years, double headers at neutral grounds, todays games at the Parade would have drawn 10-12k and it would be a sensational atmosphere.

Do a 100% better job than that useless knob in charge now

[dedja]

Exactly, this fella is perfect for running the SANFL

[on the rails]

Maybe but Centurion for President and Wedgie in charge of catering (alcohol). Fester can be in charge of Weslo!

[MightyEagles]

It has to be at a neutral ground like the u18s and Reserves.

Why

Why not?

[MightyEagles]

Why shouldn't the highest placed side get a home final...............it's good enough for the AFL

Because we are NOT the AFL, we are the SANFL for a reason.

The WAFL also do it I believe.
Reward the sides for finishing higher
That was an embarassment to the league today, would like to know how much money the league lost today.
With no AFL yesterday if we had a game at Elizabeth yesterday and Prospect today I would expect 4-5k at both grounds and a far better atmosphere

[CENTURION]

I vote for Beavis ...

that's one vote to me!

WHAT A SPUNK!!

sounds like a plan!

Just throwing it out as an alternative, and that is to rotate finals amongst the suburban grounds like a lot of country leagues do.

Double-headers for the first two weeks. Three clubs host the first three rounds of finals, then another three the next year, and then the last three the next. Which weekend of of finals a side hosts would also be rotated, so that over a nine year period each club hosts a EF/QF, semis, and a prelim.
If a club happens to get a home final, then good luck to them.
Season ticket holders of the hosting club get in with their ticket to help promote crowds.

Should have home finals exactly the same as amateur league.

Will stop sides playing reserves in the A grade in the last couple of rounds eg: Westies and Centrals this year.

I can guarantee they wouldnt have done that this year if they were fighting for a home final

Okay, what would happen, if for example Norwood hosted finals last year, as part of the nine year rotation, and this weekend it was West's turn to host a double header final?
Westies would in effect get a home final against a team that finished indisputedly top, while they themselves finished third. If they got up in a close one there'd be many who'd claim the system is highly unfair.
Nice to be thinking outside the square, but the above scenario surely would be the end for that system. Unless you could gaurantee that sides finishing lower don't get home finals against higher placed sides.
