INS and OUTS for 2010

[Barto]

But there's round two to go Barto! The rookie draft.

I realised after I said it. The rookie draft is the heart breaking one, we lose players only to watch them play local league in another state.

Jesse Laurie is an out for Westies.

Jesse has returned to WA.

[Mr Irate]

I didn't understand Rowey's thought process last night during the draft.
He kept saying (numerous times) how great it was for SA that these lads were drafted. Sure, agreed it's great for the players drafted, but I fail to see the benefit for SA that these players are lost from the State.

So you understand his thought processes on all other occassions ?????

[TroyGFC]

Out glenelg- Loccy McGregor apparently.

And most of the time you wonder why they were drafted (or rookied) in the first place.

I guess they are a sort of insurance claim on the basis that, "This bloke might develop into a player and we can't risk having not grabbed him."
It is then easy to cut them loose if they don't.

Any ideas why Troy

[85 WAS A GOOD YEAR]

Out glenelg- Loccy McGregor apparently.

Any ideas why Troy

Word is he just wants a year off - pity though. I really felt for him when he missed the Ressies GF cos he played his ONE league game for the year in the league prelim loss

Any chance he is following Godden to the Eagles?

[am Bays]

I understand he is in the same mind-set as Tom Holmes. The AFL dream is over so doesn't want to commit to the six days a week of training as an SANFL footballer. Wants a break.

This is one thing that has diluted the talent pool of the SANFL for years.

As well as the lack of financial rewards playing SANFL matching the commitment required. If you can get similar or better playing in a lesser league and not having to put in the same hours that can be attractive to some.

It's a shame to lose some great talent this way.

[Mr Irate]

Sounds like a good reason to increase the salary cap.....the AFL will have us turned into a simple feeder league within 5 years

I think it would be great if the SANFL clubs lessened the load slightly, but which coach would be game enough to make the first move? You'd be giving every other club a leg up.

Fully agree, and this is the big danger over the next five years as the AFL continues to expand. The SANFL clubs are in danger of falling on their own swords because of their increased demands. But it is the one big issue that really makes me sick about the AFL arrogance - they don't seem to give a f*ck, and it is only their competition that deserves any publicity.

Same with the general football public that say premierships aren't worth what they used to be. The players work so much harder for so much less recognition now than they used to.

This issue needs to be a thread on its' own.

[Punk Rooster]

Which Glenelg big man, disillusioned after not being offered much of a future at the Bays, is being courted by the Port Magpies, and will decide his future Monday??

Would the last one to leave please turn off the lights...

[NO-MERCY]

Is it Duldig?

[am Bays]

Is it Duldig?

Nah not Matty, he has a new job at the SANFL which procludes him from playing league footy. Not sure who it is but hope he realises that whilst he will be guaranteed a League match he may not be guaranteed match payments...

Keep trying Punky ... how's you mob gone against this alleged rabble of a team in the past few years?
