SAAFL Div 1 & Div 1R (2011)

[Lift]

I hear that the APPS is not winning friends with quite a few clubs. Most are now realising the full impact of this system and the constraints that it imposes on clubs especially the rating of players from other leagues. Some clubs are already turning away players from the country who have moved to Adelaide looking for a club. These players could be lost to the game for good


are there not rules in country comps for blokes that werent "recruited" but moved to the town/city for work purposes that allows them to play for a club even if the club may be over their points??

surely as long as it can be proven and is reasonable there are similar rules being put in place for the SAAFL.

also have the SAAFL gotten themselves an independent auditor!? gonna be some fun and games go on this year i reckon! [/quote]


Its simple if a player has to move to the city for work or study then that player should be allowed to play at a club of their choice and be a 0. telling a 18 yr old kid that played a grade back home therefore a 3 point player, he cant play at the same club as a few mates from back home because he is a good player or to tell him you can play there but no mater how well you play you cant play a grade it a joke. for alot of country kids going back home just isnt an option just to play a game of footy so the next best option is to play at the same club in adelaide. i also believe there should be a family allowance where if the father or older brother has played or is playing at a club then the son / brother can join the club with 0 points attached. i know there is a fathers rule if they are a life member but i think that can be improved

Of course he play A grade, just drop one of your other points players

Marc Cocks's kids will have some clubs to choose from

Adrian Wilson is currently training at EPFC so i highly doubt the rumours about his departure to Nuri are true!

[Pag]

Had a gander at Gaza's training tonight, looked real sharp, and the new boys (Copping, Klemasz, Boxer, Baust) all looked like they were fitting in well. Also noticed Shane Evans out training (ex-Salisbury North).

bird of prey was good too, as was wristwatchers magnificent work behind the touch footy goals at the clubroom end.

How much work does Mark Baylis do around the place? The man was everywhere, as well as recognising me and stopping to have a chat. And the Mixed Grill for $8 was a top feed, might have to head back next Thursday just for that.

How come I missed you Pag, I was there having a quiet beer out the front with a couple of lads. You're right about Mark Bayliss, he's a machine and never stands still.

By God i hope you saw my form in the early game of Rec Footy(not touch) in the Brucey Doull headband. The chick i was standing was clearly no match for my skill and intensity. Even Nathan Grainger looks like offering me some big $$$ if he could squeeze me into the salary/points cap . I guess you just never know who is watching you, i would have assumed with all the stunners in the Gaza Rec footy league not too many eyes would have been on me .
But in all seriousness in the 8 odd years that i have been working at Gaza over summer this is the shapest that i have seen Gaza look during their pre-season. The is most certainly an air of expectation around the club and in my mildly expert opinion i believe they will be heavily involved in the major rounds.

I feel sorry for Grainger if they aint.

Well you might've been on of the blokes standing just in front of me then...

I missed the first game mate, my missus was having a run around with work-mates in the second game. The advent of no tackling was frustrating me after about five minutes so I just kept watching the Eagles instead.

[macca26]

Anyone know when the draw will be released?

[wristwatcher]

Anyone know when the draw will be released?

Certainly no later than April 1st

Strictly business Locky, but know a few old-timers there and just had to have a beer with them.

[Footy Chick]

Darft draw for each club is out already macca. See your committee, they'll have a copy

[Bulls forever]

This might have already been discussed, but trolling through 30 pages didn't interest me. Heard that Eastern Park will be playing all their home games at Salisbury North. Sort of defeats the purpose of being a community club IMO. Really didn't think their oval was that bad last year although visited on a nice day. Anyone.

[bandar]

Draft draw I have seen says Dwight Reserve so not certain where this comes from?

[Pag]

I don't believe that Eastern Park would voluntarily sell their home games to anyone. They just wouldn't do it, and why should they have to?

[whufc]

Yeah i think you will find this is another BS rumour that gets around every year about there ground!!

[The Patriach]

How do we reckon Broadview will be going this year? a tip for a massive improver would have to be one young German lad named Schlicker, his hair makes him stand out for a few votes and has a bit of pace off the mark.

Also, good to see another norfern suburbs team in the top tier, Eastern Park should liven things up abit!

Has got the goods mate, but he had a poor year last year, didn't play a heap of A grade. Lets hope his hair can play every game this year.
