the guy needed someone to stick up for him, he constantly cops a bagging from people not invloved at the club so thought i better help him out

Uhuh

Yes.... it's not nice when someone from your club 'cops a bagging' from people on here is it

a bagging that has some truth behind it is fair game the way i see it. A bagging where someone does not know the facts (ie yourself) is not.

I see.... well....the way I see it... is that it's okay for you to bag people from other clubs (ie Gianni the other day) but it's not okay for other people to 'bag' people from your club

Sorry Cuzzy but you make me laugh

all i was saying is that it is fine to bag people when you have something to bag them for (ie like i did) but not okay when you just jump on the wagon because you are bored (ie you and a few others on here)

I suppose that's where you and I differ then. I don't think it's 'fine' to bag people at all

And just in case you're wondering I'm on here because I have an interest in the GSFL and my club.... I have not just jumped on the wagon and have as much right to be on here as your lovely self

Now how boring would it be if we all left and you had no one to talk to on here

[words of wisdom]

Just putting a question out there, what the chances of this site getting back to talking about footy? Its great to have new people on here but you guys are just stiring crap. Its good to have a dig for a laugh but this sites gone to shit!

[cuzzy]

Yep new topic. As you all know the SANFL may be scrapping the u/17's and u/19's comp therefore either you fit into the under 18's bracket or you are good enough to play reserves or league. I know at the bay if this does happen we will most likley get a few 19's players back that havent quite cracked the ressys but will most likley be qaulity a grade players for the club. is this the case at most clubs, do you think clubs will start chasing the these u/19's players for next year. Just seems to me like there will be a lot of good qaulity young players looking for a club to go to.

[Micky Conlan]

By scrapping the 17/19 those players in the 19 bracket will have to find a home somewhere, so yeh bring it on surly will make those amateur leagues stronger.Also the 18's/Reserves/League all play on the same day same ground great day of footy.
Another point-will the league clubs look closer to the amateur's for recruiting?

Ah now we are talking cuzzy i think going u18s will be good for footy cos the SANFL will have one less grade which would mean approx. 200 footballers back in their home clubs across the state if you dont make 17s level you aint going to make it and exposing yourself to senior footy at 18 is better than not making league or ressys at 20 and coming back to your home club with no senior football experience,as for players coming back to there clubs there will be a couple of clubs rubbing there hands, watch out for saucy at Victor!

[Micky Conlan]

Can i possibly come on anyones footy trip this year?promise to make a tool out of myself & perhaps poo my pants for a laugh.RSVP to "If Micky's on tour,he will chew her"

I have been speaking with South Adelaide reps alot about this and they should know in the next two weeks what is going to happen but it looks almost certin to have a under 16's and 18's comp in 08. All clubs assosiated with South Adelaide will have their Senior Colts coach contacted and all names avaliable for both grades will be read out requiring a yes/maybe/no answer on weather they believe they can make it at that level then the players will be contacted by letter from SA inviting them out to training in 09.
Its great for everyone as we will now have the same age groups as all other states and improve development in our game and hopefully see the results improving on a state level and also in the AFL national draft. These results in past have been impressive already but the SANFL is hopping they will get even better now.

Why do we have to watch out for Saucy at Victor? Do you think he will be Coaching at Victor in 09??

Kappars well said couldnt agree more lets get some more kids drafted in the AFL,weve been a bit light in recent times.

I know nothing Kappars just on the outer.

Read an article in the Advertiser last week(i think), from Michaelangelo Rucci(i think), and apparently theSANFL are not to keen on the idea of the u'18 comp. They think the way it is is o.k. and they don't want to do what all the other states have done. The primary reason behind this is the AFL would have too many rights to the competition because of the sponsorship and backing of the u'18 league. The SANFL would lose alot of involvement in the junior competition they think. To some point i do agree with this, i think the AFL have already got their greedy mits, and their say on too many issues involved with local leagues. I believe that the reason behind not producing many draftees in the last couple of years is not that the junior grades is not a one team comp, but the fact that things just go in circles, someyears you have draftees coming out of your ears, other years you don't. Keep the comp the way it is and let South Australian Football be as independant as they can be, just look at the way the league sides are going this year, and the way crowds have picked up!

Hmmm

Yes I appologise for my posts today fellow forumers
Somewhat out of character for me to banter backwards and forwards over something so trivial, was just a bit annoyed.

Will try to stay on topic from now on

i disagree king kernas i think the under 18 comp is a good idea, and it will increase the standard of the country leagues, but i did here someone on kg and cornesy saying to have a allowance for 4 or 5 players who were in fact u19 in each team to allow for late developers. which is also a good idea but does this mean 5 on your list or 5 playing every week, but it could mean too many numbers, i think if you haven't made it by 18 and are not playing consistently in the reserves or league side your probably not good enough, take tarak redigolo and james boyd for example if your good enough you'll be playing league. But i also think they should limit the amount of non south australian players in the teams as this will give us a better chance of developing players, i mean who cares if you win the sa v vic game when half the side isn't even south australian!!

Check out page 123 of Fridays Advertiser, Central District's not happy at all about the change now that it is confirmed!

That is absolute crap. A lot of guys don't fill out until they are 19 or 20. Look at basketball and american football. Young players don't get recruited to the NBA or NFL until they've had a college career or, in cases like LeBron James, they are absolutely going to be a gun. In footy, the absolute guns who are playing SANFL by 18 usually progress on to the AFL, but the SANFL clubs need players who are not going to be poached by AFL clubs, guys who are coming out of U/19's and developing into SANFL standard players.

Great post Brock, the biggest down fall will be that the level of the SANFL will drop over the next decade, players who are in U18 and dont get recruited by a AFL club will more than likely return to a club in the country or amature leagues to play with mates or to go looking for $$$. This new age group suits national age restricted football and AFL clubs looking to draft kids from the SANFL but what affect will it have on the SANFL league and reserve grades?
