HANDS OFF THE SANFL!!!

[Barto]

In case he doesn't allow my comments to go through:

You say that the SANFL clubs oppose the AFL team reserves plan, but recently in the West Australian, Neil Craig also expressed his opposition and gave valid reasons on why it could be detrimental to the AFL clubs, yet you refuse to print this viewpoint laying the blame at the feet of the SANFL clubs yet again. These constant attacks on grassroots footy are becoming
tiresome and only serving to turn more people off the AFL brand in Adelaide.

Are you blokes seriously feeding these comments to Adelaidenow, in the hope that Rucci, the man who writes the articles you so despise, will read them and allow them to be posted on the site?

Does anyone remember the clubs that voted in favour of the U16's, U18's comp? From memory WWT were for, and CDFC against, the others?

I think West were for? Redand Back do you recall?

Interesting his quote
"Independent thinking was always at risk to the need to keep the SANFL clubs happy. Or more to the point the super voting bloc of five SANFL clubs - Glenelg, Central District, North Adelaide, West Adelaide and Woodville-West Torrens."
So other than the Port bail out, (which was unanimous), probably the previous significant vote was the under age League structure. From memory this "super voting bloc", wasn't in agreement. The vote was passed on a majority. Again he's writing something inferring these five clubs vote together, hence wield the power. Again without citing examples. In fact throw the foxtel cup in there, three clubs went one way two the other. I think the point of the above paragraph is completely false...again.

North voted for it.

I did.

The article states "Independent thinking was always at risk to the need to keep the SANFL clubs happy. Or more to the point the super voting bloc of five SANFL clubs - Glenelg, Central District, North Adelaide, West Adelaide and Woodville-West Torrens". Inferring these clubs vote together to the detriment of independent thinking.
On the contrary what was the vote with the structural change to the u16/u18s competition? Was it North, WWT for Glenelg and Central against? These clubs were not in agreement on this (a majority vote, led to the change). I believe this alone, defeats the paragraphs inference.
Even the recent Foxtel cup the mentioned clubs were divided 3 to 2 to participate.
The only recent vote that was in fact unanimous was declining the initial Port bail out, followed by approving the new financial plan.
I think if we're seeing a lack of independent thinking, it's not coming from the SANFL clubs, but from other "estates", pushing an agenda.

Well i have posted this at 12.20 pm will they publish ???


Jed post at 10.10am its about time the PAFC took responsibility for the mess they have created and stop blaming the SANFL if PAFC supporters do not bother showing up at games what do you expect thats right financial problems so the move to Adelaide Oval might not be the saviour unless patronage increases substantially.

Maybe we should start a thread: Things I posted on AdelaideNow but which did/didn't get published

[Apachebulldog]

Good idea Dogwatcher !!

[redandblack]

sjt, yes, West were strongly in favour, so that 'voting bloc' didn't agree at all on that one.

Yes, cheers. The only thing it seems, this bloc that supposedly can't think independently has agreed on, is the Port situation.
