2019 SANFL Season

[bulldogproud]

The return of Josh Glenn?

he's staying at Norwood, back on the track in 2020.

Talking of Norwood, I have it on good authority that a lot of their players have had to take pay cuts this season as they are seriously attempting to stay within the salary cap this year. This may have also been the reason for so many retirements from the 'Legs at the end of last season.
Cheers

[bulldogproud]

With the contacts we now have at the Gold Coast, possibly one of their recent delistings: Clay Beames (but not that young) and Josh Jaska are possibilities.
Cheers

yes,
no & no.

Will have another stab at a former Gold Coast player then: Tim Sumner?

Cheers

[Brodlach]

He has been playing amateur football for a couple of years?

[gazzamagoo]

BINGO.

[bulldogproud]

BINGO.

I have to credit UKfan with having let me know, via another thread

Not sure what Timmy has been doing in the three years since he left the Suns, but welcome him with open arms to the Ponderosa and hope it feels like home to him for many seasons!

Cheers

Yep at Woody South. Kicked a lot of goals, about 30 games at 4.5 per game.

We sure do - you need to get closer to your admin
It sort of helps when you know a number of the boys on a personal non-football basis.

It's the AFL mid-season draft, but it may impact upon your SANFL club :

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clubs are beginning to learn the finer details of this year's mid-season draft, which is expected to fall after round 11.

AFL.com.au understands clubs have recently received information from the League explaining that the mid-season draft, the AFL's first since 1993, will be held the week of June 3 – just prior to the bye rounds commencing.

Seven clubs currently have list spots available and will subsequently be able to take part in the draft. Carlton is the only club with multiple spots available with three vacancies.

However, clubs can still have spots open up on their list should a player succumb to either a long-term injury or prematurely retire from the game. There will be no deadline on when teams can open list spots prior to the mid-season draft.

Clubs can also fill their available list spots prior to March 15 by recruiting players via the AFL's newly introduced pre-season supplemental selection period (SSP) rules.

It's understood players recruited during the mid-season draft will earn a contract for the remainder of the season, though they will have the option of negotiating terms for an extension at any period throughout the year.

Should a player's contract not be renewed beyond the current year – and should the player fail to be recruited to another club the following season – it's believed the player will receive a one-off payment of around $20,000.

As compensation for state league clubs who have players taken from them midway through the year, it's understood AFL clubs will be made to provide them with a reimbursement.

That could include a payment of up to 50 per cent of any sign-on bonus given to the player by their state league club.

It's believed the order of the draft will be based on the ladder positions after round 11, though a number of other ways to determine the order of draft picks have been considered.

One particular example floated was a combined ladder based off results from the last 11 matches of the previous season with the first 11 games of the current season. However, that scenario appears unlikely to eventuate.

The decision to hold a mid-season draft was finalised by the AFL Commission in October following discussions by the Competition Committee, but finer details had yet to be determined at the time.

Players eligible for the mid-season draft must have previously nominated for an AFL draft or been on an AFL club list.

[Wolf Pack]

Is their any limit on how many players can be taken from a club?
Unlikely to happen but if a team is flying and sitting on top of the ladder, they could lose 3 or 4 players?
That would ruin the club.....
I can also see players being picked by Port or the Crows and playing the rest of the season in the SANFL.

[DOC]

You would think that besides a Ruckman, almost anyone else taken would not play, so why do it.

A SANFL/WAFL/VFL side losing their ruckman can completely stuff up their season.

Would have thought any KPP would do that.....

Or on baller
Take Mitch Grigg from Norwood out and it severely weakens their midfield.

[Booney]

Just take a North player, they'll still have 18 on the field so no impact.

So given this could be disastrous for any given clubs premiership chances, has the SANFL done anything to prevent this? Other than an average press release last year. Unless the sanfl don't care, it clearly shows the afl can do whatever they please (which I know is demonstrated every season). Yet another reason to give up on our comp.
