Some interesting names on the list, some surprising, some not so...

Who do you think is interesting Phil ? Any reason you didn't want to share your thoughts ?

More a general comment as I don't usually look at that SportingPulse website, but it looks pretty detailed and dare I say, interesting...

[HOORAY PUNT]

OK ...mmm.... refer quuestion 1 ?

What do you find interesting then ?

[Jimmy Ricard]

Interesting to see that Cody Hicks has finally moved on from the Eagles. I would have thought he would have been a good chance to follow Fuller to South.

C.Hicks, S. Davoren, J. Stewart and S. Fairclough all to KNTFL

Yeah interesting Joe Anderson to Sturt

also Cameron Stokes to Sturt has been cancelled

not uncommon I have found in the past. IIRC Sturt have had some paperwork issues with Sharples and Fittock coming back down for the winter season

There is an article in the Messenger about the young lad who played for Golden Grove last season Templeton? he will be playing in the trial games with the Dogs looking to secure a contract for the 2011 season.

Has played a fair bit of basketball in the US and has incredible running capabilities for someone of his size, apparently the Crows were looking at him but couldnt recruit him due to some technicality with the rules regarding players from a non football background.

Bulldogs trial basketballer - By Matt Turner

I think a while a few Norwood supporters were talking about this lad as he is from within their zone at Golden Grove...

I'm pretty sure one of the Dogs league players was/is going out with Jacob's sister which may be the reason he went out to Elizabeth for a run?

BP, why don't the normal SANFL zoning rules apply to this guy? Is it because of his age or his previous sporting background or something else? I'm pretty sure the original Advertiser article described him as living at Wynn Vale which would put him in North's zone.

Cameron O'Shea who South picked up from the Power is pretty impressive and I keep hearing good wraps on him....bit of pace and grunt and one to look out for South supporters!

Sounds like captain material to me

I vaguely remember something along the lines of, if the club doesn't retain you on their list for a period (maybe 12 months), you can play elsewhere - almost a "free agent". Perhaps no club had him registered and he's over a certain age he can choose where to play.

Someone I know played juniors for Eagles. At age 17 he joined the army for a year. When he returned he could play (and did) for another club.

In amateurs if you don't play a game for your registered club, don't require a clearance to play for another club after 2 years effectively becoming a Free Agent as such.

he was being looked at under the three year non-playing rule but didn't fit the criteria due to his three'four games with the golden grove b grade.

Also, Crows were advised he wasn't eligable to be AFL listed as well under the 'Alternative Talent Rookie' as he hadn't played high enough of a level of College basketball...

please clarify that Cent? are you saying the club didnt want him?

THE Club, not the club. The CDFC said no thanks.

Ah, gottcha

I'm still lost[/quote]
ok, I'll type slowly. Brad told me he is looking elsewhere, I rang The CDFC, told them he was looking but The CDFC said they weren't interested, they don't need more players like him.[/quote]

Ahh, there you go, the 'I rang' was missing before 'the club". That makes it easier to read. No reason to type slower, just ******* type properly. [/quote]


I thought it would be odd for Vassal to quit because of work commitments and then go to a club that trains pretty hard.[/quote]

Barto hi

Vassal has just started training with Modbury and he trains 2 nights a week He does running as often as he can
Casterton may train hard but you can bet that Vassal will not be there training with them as it is LOGISTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE OR were you thinking another club?

Most importantly he would not lie to the SFC that gave him a great opportunity. Trust me he is very very busy with his work

I've never doubted that for a moment. Did you think I thought otherwise?

You may be interested in a copy of this post I put on doubleblue.org recently in response to a similar question.

"I think it's mainly a case of being prepared to pay the transfer fee (or do a deal). I grew up in an earlier era (Much earlier) when clubs could basically hold a player to ransome by refusing a clearance. Fortunately the world has moved on from there and now if a club doesn't use a payer and another club wants him, the transfer fee is set and that's it. Here's an excerpt from an SANFL information booklet that spells it out."

"ZONING RULES FOR PLAYERS
The SANFL has divided South Australia into 9 promotional zones. This ensures that each SANFL club has an even share of the available players in South Australia. It also means that each SANFL club is given sole responsibility for assisting local clubs and schools to promote Australian Rules Football.
If a person is under 19 years of age, they are bound to play football for one of 9 SANFL clubs. They are bound by where their mother currently lives. If a family moves address, they are bound to remain at their previous address for 12 months after they move. This means you can not change address and then be able to play for another SANFL club.
This zoning rule only applies to players who are applying to play for an SANFL club from the year they turn 15 until the year they are 19. A player can not play SANFL U17 football or above until the year they turn 15, unless a permit is granted by the SANFL.
There are several options for a player who wants to play for a club for which he is not zoned.
1. The out of zone club pays the players zoned club $5,000. There are also incremental payments of $4,000 on the players first league game and $3,000 on their 10th and 25th games.
2. The out of zone club organises a player transfer with the zoned club for a player of like ability.
3. The father of the out of zone player has played one or more League games for that out of zone club, the player is then free to play at the out of zone club.
A player is able to train and play in the Under13 and 14 Development Squad teams for any club. At the end of the Under 15 program, no one out of zone players can be chosen to play in the final squad of 25 in the Under 15 Championships.
It is recommended that all players train and play with their zoned club from the outset of the elite program."

From what I can read on your posts Barto my impressions are that you are genuine and would not think ill of Vass

You have got no idea how dissapointed we are that he is not playing for the SFC, we do respect his decision and we have seen his business grow - good luck to him

cheers
