Midfielders are not the only players on the ground

One of our sides played a game early in the year and we only had 18 players, it was arranged that some from a younger side (within the rules) would come and play after their game had concluded. Due to different game times the two lads didnt get there until 3/4 time hence only spent less than a 1/4 of the game on the field.

Result one gets 3 votes, the other gets 2, i can only presume that the lad that had over 30 possessions and 20 marks must have got the 1 vote

IMPORTANT NOTICE regarding CHANNEL 7 NEWS article

Yesterday Channel 7 news ran an article pertaining to suspected fraudulent activity within the senior official ranks of the Metro South Junior Football League. This is the league we were part of prior to joining the SANFL Juniors in 2016.

We would like to reassure all our members that the Kenilworth Football Club or any member of the club ARE NOT involved in any way but unfortunately our club was included in filming of the story without the clubs knowledge or authority.

As part of the transition to the SANFL Juniors competition we have be working with the other clubs of the Metro South Junior Football League to finalise all matters pertaining to the leagues operations. The equitable resolution of these matters including the reconciliation and audit of financial accounts has been paramount. As part of this process clubs were made aware two weeks ago of potential irregularities in the financial accounts. Upon notification of these irregularities the clubs agreed that the matter should be referred to the SANFL and Police. Until a full investigation is complete and findings are communicated any reference to fraudulent activities are yet to be proven. The SANFL is handling all enquiries and overseeing the investigations and are handling any media enquiries. We are confident that with the SANFL's support and the Police that this matter will be resolved and dealt with appropriately.

The Kenilworth Football Club and all clubs affiliated with MSJFL are fully cooperating and assisting the investigation as required. No members of the Kenilworth Football Club are involved in this investigation and we are extremely disappointed with the implication of our club in the story. As a club we are committed to ensuring that a resolution to this matter is found and we will communicate any updates as appropriate. Unless you hear it from the Club you can assume that any information you hear is unsubstantiated.

We request that if any member has any concerns or queries please contact Football Director John Schulz.

I don't know what the rule is on this Brodlach, I went looking on the SANFL site but it did not say a number specifically, but it does say this -

8.8 GRAND FINAL SQUAD SIZES
8.8.1 Under 12 to 14 Competitions, clubs must declare qualified and registered player
numbers by Tuesday midday of the week of the Grand Final. Once notified SANFL
Juniors will advise all clubs of the numbers to play on Grand Final day.

My son played in an under 13 GF on Sunday for a club with 27 qualified players. The opposition club had 27 players who had played at least 1 game for the year. They had 24 that had played the required 6 games under rule 8.7.1, the other 3 played one game only according to the official team numbers. My sons team had 27 who played the required 6 games. I can find nothing in the rules that states the maximum squad size.

The upshot of it all is that 3 players from my sons team had to miss the GF on Sunday so that both teams had an equal number of players. The boys were rotated fairly all year to give them all 12 or 13 games in a 16 game season and then come GF day 3 miss out.

IMHO this must be addressed. How do we expect to keep boys and girls playing our great game when that happens. From under 15's or 16's on then play equal team sizes or limit it to 22, they are older and more mature to understand but it would still be very disappointing none the less to miss out.

Pretty well the same rule all over for Junior footy in Grand finals from what i can remember from my Junior Pres days. There is a select number that can play only, from memory think it was 22 and the rest were permitted to be in the environs in Club polos but not playing, that was in the NEMJFA, just not certain about the actual numbers

3 extra can sit on the bench in full gear, warm up, go out to coaches quarter time address but not play. That was in 2010 unless it's changed.

I know there are a number of clubs out there that are happy to take your subs and then string you along by telling you to keep training but you never really get a whole lot of game time. Even when you do get selected most of your game will be on the bench. There are plenty of clubs who will give you plenty of game time and are great clubs to be involved with. Sometimes parents won't take their kids to a certain club because of certain reputations of the seniors. I think in many cases the juniors is run by people who are fairly separate from the senior side and do a great job. Reputation is something that hangs with your club for a very long time even after you make many changes and it becomes a great environment for juniors. At the end of the day all your kid wants to do is play footy so take the time to look into the clubs around you. You will find that many great people are running these junior clubs.

Nothing in the news article mentioned Kenilworth?
