Re: The 2014 season no AFL in the SANFL whinge thread
Once again it comes down to what you think defines a club.
The bottom line is,I believe that it's up to the people who support the club that define what a club is.

Oh Benny, stop hitting these poor people with facts, you're getting in the way of a more than 12 month sook! Oh, and if we want to talk about pies and pasties, yet somehow try to pretend the 9k who attended the Glenelg Crows game is somehow irrelevant, how many pies and pasties do we think were ...

Yep. Requires no more tinkering with top up players, half arsed "salary caps", finals qualifications etc etc.
It's a no brainer.
You know I have dismissed this concept as a little out there, but there is some merit. If we moved the fixtures back to the SANFL GF after the AFL, the AFL teams would ...

Re: The 2014 season no AFL in the SANFL whinge thread
Unfortunately I can see some sad times ahead for the SANFL, Gilligan again stated yesterday that he is keen to look at a midseason draft by 2016, the AFL clubs could possibly raid the state leagues for talent and we have the scenerio where a team near the top of the SANFL ladder midseason suddenly ...

Or, adding to that, an SANFL player moving clubs. It does happen, you know!

We love the sentimentality of the Power recruiting Magpies players (Sam Gray, Brad Ebert) but we can't have them ...

Thats right a club suffering from a severe drop in home numbers directly attributed to the reserves issue. It's an issue in motion so there is plenty to see.

Re: The never ending No AFL in the SANFL whinge thread
This would just given the AFL clubs more incentive to not bother fielding their best team every week, something a lot of you have criticised on here as ruining the integrity of the comp. That would be worse than the current situation by a long way imo.
I think its time for a full AFL reserves ...

Re: The never ending No AFL in the SANFL whinge thread
I think the aspect of someone trying to get the best out of themselves is being discounted. The majority of guys running around the SANFL know they are not going to get an AFL gig, and are playing in the comp to be the best they can be. Not everyone does something for maximum dollar or advantage. Im ...

Re: The never ending No AFL in the SANFL whinge thread
I think though the measures being put in place regarding total player payments in amateur and country leagues might help this though.
Ultimately though it is about playing on an even playing field, but it wouldn't be, the richer community clubs would be better resourced than the poorer community ...

The challenge for the SANFL and the clubs is to put on a product which entices the fans out to the local game. I witnessed an excellent game 2 weeks ago between the Eagles ...

Although Rucci is being deliberately provocative, I think there is one point he makes which does make a little bit of sense.

Yes, the reserves will be 8 teams, 4 games per week. Excellent maths.
Hopefully you can add up that one team, per week, will have the league and the reserves playing at different locations. Meaning support staff can't be at both. Now, that won't work, will it?
The SANFL clubs have managed an 8 ...
