The League is a joke...discuss!

[CENTURION]

and when it's over, who will some people sook about then?

[Sojourner]

People talk about looking at Central and following their example, yet little seems to be being done for the other SANFL clubs to bring their training facilities up to the same standards, or to organise their revenue streams to bring in similar turnovers of cash. Both of these things can be done if clubs are prepared to put the work into it. Central will likely stay at the top of the competition until other sides can at least match them in resources. The Eagles are the only club I am aware of that is looking at putting in the same style of facilities in their ground upgrade and including the full lap pool as a part of the training complex. Clearly this is the standard to be reached for the other clubs, rather than lower the bar, lets see what the other clubs can do to actually make some headway towards reaching it.

Centrals
play well
recruit well
retain well
are well supported
If they dominate for the next 1,546 years sobiet
The club has earnt success after being an unrespected and underachieving club in the 20th century

Quite simply the best club deserves to win flags
As some of the CD barrackers on SAFOOTY post, its up to the other clubs to raise the bar and bridge the gap

Eventually like the Roman Empire, Gheghis Khans army, Hitlers regime, they falter at some point and struggle or demise
How did they all falter ?
predominately the other nations lifted thier game and beat them

perfectly said, end of thread.

Funny that what is said above is exactly what csbowes has been saying this whole time yet everyone is jumping all over it.
All 8 clubs need to toughen up or the dominance of Central will never end. I don't care if it's my team or someone elses, just step up FFS!

No, he said that the SANFL is a joke and boring, that's the problem. I and thousands of Central supporters went to the footy every Saturday up until 2000, We didn't win jack shit, lost all the finals We managed to scrape into but I don't think that ANYONE ever said that the comp. is a joke and boring! We go the the footy because We love the footy! We cop the good with the bad.

Exactly, he said the SANFL is a joke, which led to the belief that the league should do something about the situation.
He did not say the eight other clubs are a joke and should lift their game until his original opinion was questioned.

Going by his first post in this thread he does say straight away that it's up to the other 8 clubs to lift their game. I did come into this thread late though so I may have missed some earlier banter written by Bowes that led to this thread being started.

Spot on Centurion.
Was there too when we had good teams and failed in the finals. Was there when we were average, when it rained, when we were thrashed. The last 10 years has seen the CDFC achieve incredible success. May it continue. The SANFL is not a boring comp. Before the finals started every team in the top five was capable of making the Grand Final. Finals games sort out the weak from the strong. Pure and simple. If you can't handle it, find a new hobby.

Let's not forget that Centrals haven't won the flag yet!

If Norwood or the Eagles win the flag everyone will be saying how great it is and that SANFL is alive and healthy.

This thread is a joke, my comments in this thread apply here too

One word.... BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!!

This league isn't fast becoming a joke... it's well and truly there. No wonder no one follows it, we're stuck in a re-run year after year and anyone who says this is good for the league is kidding themselves.

... and before Central fans come down with the "oh it's just cos your club is crap" type of stuff, I don't blame Central, it's the other 8 clubs, just woefully hopeless at competing in general and as a result, the league is a bloody joke.

I love my club, but admittedly, as each year goes by, I become less and less interested in football in general. The AFL is overly corporate and the SANFL has become a one-horse race season after bloody season.

Let's be honest, who really, apart from Dogs fans, has any real interest in the grannie this year?

WELL SAID!

NFC not interested in the Grannie? I assume CS was referring to the Grand Final.

The thread title (which I know were CSB's own words) have killed any hope of a good discussion here. The OP does say that his issue is with the other 8 clubs. Unfortunately he also says that the league is a joke which it isn't. Mrs Hondo commented yesterday how the Norwood v Centrals game looked to her like an AFL game (standard and how strong the players looked).

We all keep saying it's up to the other 8 clubs to catch up (which it is) but why is it friggin taking so long. Have we given up the premiership each season before it even starts?

I had a similar rant last year after the finals when some opposition club supporters said we should just stand back and applaud Centrals instead of being angry at their teams for losing finals. Do Centrals need supporters of the other 8 clubs applauding then as well?

I'd like to see more anger from the other 8 clubs that Centrals are taking all the premierships.

Interested should we get there of course. I've been to every GF since 2001. But this competition would have to be the most predictable sporting comp in the world.

So you had Norwood finishing minimum Top 3, Sturt fifth, Glenelg straight sets (maybe a little more predictable)?
