what do you think about the pathetic attitude of your permiit holders, especially one having played in the winning kinlough team last year??
when i heard this i thought to myself 1. why would these players want to play that grade and
2. why the hell did they get the permits??
BW is clearly a talented player and could EASILY get a game in B grade
as for TH he played in the kinlough team last year!! bit of an injustice when the side you played last week, brings up a 14 year old who has to stand both on the wing??
obviously the days are gone when permits are only used when it clearly disadvantages the team to have this player playing in there side??
rather pathetic 18 year olds would rather run around with kids and think they're tough??
Didn't the permit rule get changed a few seasons back? All 18yo's get a permit, but can't play a's and 17's on the same day iirc. Think there is also a set number of A grade games played and permit is revoked. All teams use the rules differently, dependent on how much they value their A grade fielding their best side.
The "18 year olds getting a permit" was a one-year thing, because of the grade change from under 14's to under 15's, no players were going from that grade, up to under 17's, while the older under 17's would have gone to League and Reserves footy, thus meaning the under 17's had a massive shortage of players.
The rule where they were only able to play
either under 17's or League/Reserves was absolute crap, IMHO.
Under the current permit rule, if a player is
on a permit to play in the under 17's, then he cannot play in Reserves or League football, otherwise he loses the permit- if he plays in a higher grade whilst on a permit, then the higher grade is considered a forfeit, as they are playing an unqualified player.
