Will it still be available in the hotels on a friday night?

[Footy Chick]

Sure will, so the benefits now to the league (and you guys) is that if you can't get hold of a copy at the club, your local will more than likely have one for you on the friday

Who's the specialists writers FC? Will they have a knowledge of the lower divs?

[Jimmy_041]

FC: so no

Edit: I'm going to cop it, aren't I

[Footy Chick]

Who's the specialists writers FC? Will they have a knowledge of the lower divs?

Stephen O'Loughlin will be staying on as div 1 and 2 writer.

Each of the other writers are either involved/ or have been involved with SAAFL clubs. I'll formally introduce them soon. One is even studying journalism too.

Studying journalism? So does that mean lots of errors and false facts like someone else who probably studied journalism...?

[Mr Beefy]

I dont suppose the SAAFL could do something like this to be totally transparent:

From what I've been told we are moving towards the sportingpulse system.
Unfortunately to link iscore and sportingpulse is not an easy process.

I think in the iscore system the points come up on team sheets automatically so on game day everyone will know.

Of course that's only as good as the information put in to it (SISO).

Yes, I am aware of that. There is no need to link to sportingpulse for this, you can simply extract the data out of iScore.
As you say, the points are on the team sheets and the information is only as good as whats put in but if errors are only discovered/uncovered on game day then this could, potentially, put teams in a position where they might get stripped of points?

[bandar]

Probably only 2 ways that can happen if the player gives the club the wrong information or if the club knowingly oput in the wrong information.

In the first case you really need to question the player, some probably try to build themselves up by pumping up A grade games etc.

In the second case the club if caught will get what they deserve.

[Mr Beefy]

You forgot the third option - honest mistake - you're so cynical

[bandar]

You forgot the third option - honest mistake - you're so cynical

Yes it's a trait I can't get rid of.

The third one will probably come about from the first one.
