AFL Reserves Discussion...

[marbles]

Shouldnt the crows and port be hounding the AFL for a reserves comp, isnt it the responsibilty of the AFL to satisfy the demands of its clubs?

Instead the SANFL are being held at a knifes edge and being forced to change or die

The salary of these reserve players are being funded by the crowds that attend "AFL" games, the SANFL should not be held responsible to facilitate the development of the reserve players. Its just not their problem

Sanderson couldnt careless about SANFL & why should he

[on the rails]

North Matty wright is their best player

Really - Based on what? He has played 2 games in the past 2 years for us - 3 if you include tomorrow's game and on the Crows performance last night he should be "a monty" to go back next time out for them so he may squeeze in a 3rd game for us this season however I don't think he is our best player. He was good last week but not the difference. Great player no doubt and handy to have back but our best not sure as the likes of Gordon and Miles are far more improtant and will have a greater effect if they miss than Wright.

[on the rails]

I don't mean the crowds from every game, but next year tex walker will be coming back from a knee recon and that will bring huge crowds and main stream media. And SANFL bosses don't want him playing at Salisbury north when the dogs are playing south at Elizabeth in front of 1000.

Did you actually think about the above before you posted it??? I think you have borrowed Dogger's pea brain!

Yeah he doesn't play much. But comes in and has 7 centre circle clearance

[CENTURION]

I think it's almost a certainty that both port and crows reserves will be in the league now. the AFL clubs would rather be in the SAAFL than the reserves. And the bosses at the SANFL doesn't want the comp to start losing media coverage and lose all AFL players and it will happen. Imagine next year tex walker comes back next year through the reserves, the media would all over that game, and if its in the SAAFL there would be a bigger crowd than SANFL.

I'll let the club know to order an extra pallet of beer, given Jarryd Lyons could be playing tomorrow and Matty Wright is.

I mean they going to bring at least an extra 1000 each through the gate....

huge crowds? to a reserves match? no it won't, people go to the footy to watch their team win a game of footy.

Ideally that would be the best case then the reserves comp can play before the afl games. But this will still effect the SANFL with top up players.

The other point which we all don't know about is the finical situation of each club. While the SANFL have assets to be sold (football Park and AFL license) these should not be used to bank roll the SANFL. If it is used to bank roll the SANFL how long will it last, the money will soon run out and the SANFL will be in major trouble. With the AFL moving to AO that means less income for the SANFL, the clubs now have to work out how they are and also take in what if crowd numbers drop off. No point keeping the "integrity" of the game if it can't be sustained.

[The Sleeping Giant]

the joker is a true crows supporter. Everything he posts on the sanfl forum has a crows slant. The fact he thinks Wright is Norths best player shows he knows nothing. Apparently, we should allow the crows to enter a reserves side in the sanfl because Walker may play 2-3 sanfl games, and it may result in 500 more people going.

why will the money run out? If you use the money WISELY & re-invest with it, like SMART people & companies do, the money will make MORE money!

[The Sleeping Giant]

Don't forget, the sanfl will still be making money out of the afl clubs at Adelaide oval.

Good on you TSG, you cannot say that Wright playing at North wouldn't be their best player. And it if the crows reserves play amateur you won't have to worry about watching them, because broadview will be in div 2

[The Sleeping Giant]

Right now Gordon, Ryswyk, Miles, Thring and probably Moore are better than Wright AT NORTH. Don't care if crows reserves play in the ammos. Hope they play in the NEAFL so the swans and thunder can flog them.

I think you could, how many North games have you been to this year joker, there are a number of players currently at North I would rate above Wright (who is a very good player), just because they are not on a AFL list doesn't mean they are not a very good player

LMAO, Wright isn't close to North's best player. Being on an AFL list does not make him a better player than those who aren't but regardless, he's not even close to the best AFL listed player at North.

I have been to 5, I am not saying that other players aren't close to him. But remember what he was like 2 years ago when he played every week their. And he is a far better player now than then

I think you've got red blue and yellow rose coloured glasses on if you really think he is currently in better form or a better player than Gordon, Ryswyk or Miles, if I could only select 3 of those 4 players Wright would be the one to miss out atm

Was he better than Allan then if you go back 2 years or for that matter Bennett?

not a chance in hell

[the joker]

It's all matter of opinion. There's a lot of good players at Menzies crescent.
Hopefully they can do something with it this year
