AFL Reserves Discussion...

[dedja]

... except he wanted to meet up at The Gums

[klaan]

Josh Francou spoke on the issue at yesterday's SANFL lunch. Not sure people on here would like all that he said. Sat on the fence overall but;
- Happy that Greg Edwards and Bohdan Jaworskyj will make the right decision for NAFC.
- Can see why it is important to have a connection to the AFL.
- Time for AFL players to be out of SANFL teams.
- Either way the competition will be strong in 2014.
- Sympathises with the hard liners

[Aerie]

Francou reiterated what Godden said earlier in the year, wanted to see everything in black and white. So according to some, that's two clubs who are in favour of the idea...

[kickinit]

Personally I think the SANFL will cave. We always do. But I'm hearing mixed reports.

But two things have got me stumped .

Why are free to air stations all of a sudden interested in SANFL telecasts when they haven't been for 20 years. I can pick their individual motives but can't think of one reason they would share.

Why is rucci actively lobbying against AFL reserves ???

Some people know alot more than us is my conclusion.


I found it interesting the crows have reportedly started talks with vfl but a possibility of entry for next season. I dount it but believe that would be a great sign for SANFL if true.

do you really think this is true, seeing the crows havent even started talks with the sanfl

thats the position of every club. nothing has been put on the table from the crows or power so how can a club be saying yes or no.

Well they wouldn't be the first SA club to go behind the SANFL's back would they?

[CUTTERMAN]

Interesting, I have been contacted by Rucci, through a 3rd party friend, he told me anything we need to help the cause, just ask him.

Beware of Italians bearing gifts?

still crying over that? why would the crows be going to VFL first when they have the chance to be in the SANFL

[Jim05]

Not crying at it just stating a fact that the Crows could go behind the leagues back.
Maybe they know what the outcome will already be and they have probably realised that they will be playing in the ressies next year. The Crows need the best outcome for their players and this may be playing in the VFL

Good - let them go. That wil make the SANFL decision so much easier. I will wait with interest as to how they get the top up players they need if they are examining the VFL alternative given they haven't proposed anything yet to the SANFL nor has there been any clue as to top up players if they stayed in SA?

Just a thought... if playing in the VFL, it would be far more cost effective for the Crows to maintain some top-up players in Victoria rather than fly them over for a reserves match every other week. Would mean that the drain on the SA talent pool is lessened, in an average sense.

No I highly doubt they will contact vfl.

Just confirmed on 3aw that Crows speaking with VFL and AFL re NEAFL.

Confirmed with whom, Adelaide or the other bodies?

You were telling us that it was a done deal a few weeks ago.

and I also said it was sarcasm. I've also heard that all clubs have already voted and its 6-2.

Exactly. He isn't exactly going to come out and rubbish the arrangement.

It is relevant seeing this issue has been bought up. It also shows why a kid wanting to play AFL football wouldn't have a issue if he had to change clubs.
