Is there anywhere to find out what points each team is using, doesn't seem to be on sportingpulse

[Baron Greenback]

Pretty sure it's up to individual clubs to tally their own and only the clubs can see their own points.

How is Tom Stevenson going over there? I hear he has settled into the club nicely.

[Baron Greenback]

Have to say I'm really concerned for the future of the Independent colts competition.
Lyrup, Wunkar and East Murray have all withdrawn their teams.
All of the others have struggled for numbers.
Then you see some of the u15 and u18 teams have got heaps of kids missing out each week.
We're lucky at Paringa that Renmark are willing to give us some of their players if we're short.
Some of the other clubs aren't so lucky.
Any thoughts of what can be done to fix this?

Wind up the independent competition altogether.

You're an idiot.

Good to see Barmera-Monash junior Zac Bates in the State U18 team, playing on Saturday.

Hope he goes well.

I think thats going too far, sounds like the numbers are there just not spread around or maybe even the location of some clubs i.e Browns well, morook even paringa. when I played up there I started in the U13's for loxton and only ended up going to wunkar because my mates from high school where playing out there Bland, S Shultz, Kassulke, evans and co, the league was very healthy in the late 80's early 90's but that was a long time ago, would be a sad day if this does happen which i hope it doesnt. Maybe these clubs need to approch the clubs that have the numbers to maybe encourage the kids out to these stuggling clubs like Renmark help Paringa

question mark over points declared by waikerie for bratton and steele...

Yep. That's a small-minded view from one individual.
The A grade competition is quite strong, with the exception of Wunkar.

I know the Loxton teams might not be able to share their players as much due to having so many teams in the area.
Perhaps a merger of colts teams (not A grade) could be the answer.
Wunkar and East Murray's colts teams for example.

Where'd you hear that FLM?
Surely they'd be correct with Bratton. He's been there for 2 and a half years now.
If he came from the SANFL he was worth 4 in his first season and should be worth 2 this year.

I don't think Steele's playing this week.

Following copied from sportingpulse
SANFL > 'be active' League 2010 > Sturt > Sturt
Michael Bratton
Previous Seasons
Reserves 2010 2010 11 1 0.09 1 House Brothers Oval 4
'be active' League 2010 2010 9 3 0.33 2 Hamra Homes Oval 1
'be active' League 2009 2009 20 3 0.15 2 House Brothers Oval 4
Reserves 2008 2008 18 5 0.28 3 Hickinbotham Oval 9
'be active' League 2008 2008 1 0.00

according to this Bratton played more reserves games than league games, so that means he come to Waikerie as a 3 point player & this season he would be worth 1 point.
