Your reaching there whufc. Unless you mean they all played for the crows.

Does Roo still have that car yard on main north road? The Alma hotel? Hotel in port Lincoln? Anything else?

Yeah, I reckon you're reaching there WHUFC.

I'm confused about the whole arguement that the SANFL has got it easy because it's getting good crowds, so...drop the cash.

I think you need to get your facts right about Edwards.

Not sure if it's been mentioned but Roo would want to keep in the good books of the Crows brass given he wants to coach the club in the future right?

I think the honeymoon is over when it comes to AFL in SA. While this would happen normally after a certain period I think it's been exasperated by Demitriou. From my perspective I think people in SA are starting to feel dis-enfranchised with the comp. These are some points affecting this.
Apart from the local media, any national media is a revolving solar system with Victoria at it's hub.
The GF will never be played anywhere else but Victoria.
The Brownlow has never been held anywhere else but Victoria.
The Brownlow is just another tired VFL hangover.
The draw has become a farce and re-affirms that the comp can't be taken seriously.
The tribunal is only ever held in Victoria, thus non Vic based players have to fly in order to put fwd a valid not guilty case before the tribunal, not helpful if their team is travelling for the next round or has just travelled.
I hate to say it, I can never give credence to a comp when a club like Power are not able to take their history into the AFL when Victorian clubs can.
People are getting irritated with the ever changing rules and interpretations.
People are absolutely sick and tired of the media speak and glib replies from clubs and AFL hierachy when it comes to some of their real concerns, the AFL, Demitriou, Geishen and Anderson are the biggest offenders of this and are rarely held to account, the few times when they are they babble on with spin and bullsh/t.

I'm sure others can add to this but I think that the SA footy public aren't buying the hype and spin of it anymore and are voting with their feet and wallets.

Cutterman, I don't necessarily agree with your POV on all of those comments, however for factual purposes you should change your comment about the Brownlow to "The Brownlow has rarely been held out of Melbourne".
It has previously been held in Sydney.

Exactly right Wedgie, I cant believe anything he says is taken that seriously. He is a publican now and gets paid a few bob to write something for the local rag that doesn't influence anything.

To lose the reserves would be the end of the SANFL. I just find it amusing that one person could have a view that the South Australian AFL clubs need reserves but the SANFL doesn't. Perhaps all the SAAFL grades should drop their reserves.

Very lazy article.

Cutterman, not wanting to lose the impact of your comments but you might add the fact that reported interstate players in the main, except when it is very important to get off (Finals games) handle their defence against charges by video conferencing

I actually wish there was more $ available for ressies payments to keep the best players at SANFL clubs rather than getting massive $$ for **** all effort in country leagues...

mmmmmmmmmmm. Edwards, Rehn and now Riccuito all have something in common.

i am pretty sure the Testicular cancer was more of the reason that Tyson didnt play SANFL

This is exactly what Ruccitto should be thinking and Demmetriou as well as it sums exactly what should happen.

Colinn Casey , the former Sturt champ was quoted recently in a RMFL story about Sturt players coming fromthe area.

Casey said the stronger the RMFL got the more it benefited Sturt.

“Our long term goal is to keep the RMFL healthy and full of good players,” he said.


So surely the concept is the same for state leagues , it will make the AFL comp stronger. Not hard to work out yet the AFL do not seem to understand the concept of having a solid foundation . So AFL crowds are decreasing in SA and SANFL crowds increasing , probably a message in that if they care to look and analyse.
