SANFL 2020 Season

[Brett]

Despite a big last quarter by the 3rd place Sturt, 4th placed North hung on to win the reserves 1st semi by 6 points.
At 3/4 time North were up 8.11 to 4.8.
Final score was North 8.12 to 7.12!

2nd semi between Central and Eagles just started.

Both Central and Sturt lose in the ressies finals despite being the higher ranked sides.
Both chose to sack their head coaches before their senior season's had officially ended.
Paid the price...

Im pretty certain both clubs would be placing more emphasis on the League teams TBH. 1 club sacked their coach.

Eagles found to have had 19 players on the field in yesterdays under 18s final that they beat South by less than 2 goals.

Precedent has been set despite the opposition not calling for a head count. 10k and 4 points next year.
Lets see if that happens.

The Eagles player was on the field for twice as long as what the Roosters player was. Should be 20k and 8 points.

Apparently it was only for a few minutes and was accidental so if the SANFL have the same rules for all, oh hang on.........

My missus is fickle with the ironing. Ironic, innit?

Imagine if your missus was Alanis Morrissette, and she volunteered for the Eagles by washing and ironing their under-18's jumpers. 'Inception' levels of irony.

Advertiser is reporting that the player came on as Jase Burgoyne was taking a set shot for goal at 20min mark of the last quarter. They have said that at the centre bounce after the goal was kicked when checking the 6-6-6 was when the umpires noticed, so the 19th player didn't have any affect on play.

The club has said that the 19th player was on for maybe about 50 seconds, which would have been the time of the goal being kicked and ball returning to the centre of the ground.

How does a player get on the oval without someone coming off at sanfl level. Team manager and sanfl provided interchangea steward make notes of every interchange, they should be held accountable for this. Basically cheating if you know a player has gone on and no one has gone off, no confidence that they didn't go over the interchange cap if can't manage this.

So going by the new rule put in at the start of the season, shouldn’t South have been awarded a free kick at the centre bounce plus a 50m penalty? That would’ve been pretty significant given the game was so close.

First offence in a game, there is no penalty Last there was, this year there isn't.

Ok I wasn’t aware of that. Thank you for the clarification.

So, there is no penalty for having 19 players on the field the first time? Heck, teams may as well use it as a tactic then

My Bad

I believe that If there are 18 players on the field but not in the correct 666 positions at the time of the centre bounce, then there is no penalty for the first offence.

However, 19 men on the field rule

5.5.3 Players Exceeding Permitted Number
Where a Team has more than the permitted number of Players on the Playing
Surface, the following shall apply:
(a) a field Umpire shall award a Free Kick to the captain or acting captain of
the opposing Team, which shall be taken at the Centre Circle or where play
was stopped, whichever is the greater penalty against the offending Team;
(b) a Fifty Metre Penalty shall then be imposed from the position where the
Free Kick was awarded;
(c) the Team shall lose all points which it has scored in that quarter up to
the time of the count; and
(d) the field Umpire shall report the circumstances to the Controlling Body,
including the scores at the time. The Controlling Body may further
determine the matter by way of a fine, reversal of Match result or other
sanction as it deems appropriate, including overturning the loss of points
prescribed by Law 5.5.3(c).

Does the SANFL always follow the AFL rules? The reverse doesn't happen eg last touch rule

Well... if that is the actual rule concerning having an extra player on the ground, then none/zero of those penalties were applied in the game last Saturday, despite the field umpire clearly recognising that there were 19 men on the ground.
I'd be shocked if the SANFL overturned the result of the game.
but... behind the scenes South have some very serious legal fire power....

Dual South Adelaide Magarey Medallist Joel Cross has another feather in his cap, being named captain of the The Advertiser SANFL Team of the Year for the first time.

Co-captain of the preliminary final-bound Panthers with the injured Matt Rose this season, Cross’s remarkable consistency has earned him an eighth team of the year selection, putting him among the all-time greats.

The 33-year-old midfielder/forward, recruited from Victorian Eastern Football League club Scoresby, also made the star-studded team in his first season in the SANFL in 2011, followed by 2012, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2019.

This is his first year as captain and comes in a season where he has South on the verge of its first league premiership since 1964.

A strong chance for a third Magarey Medal this year, Cross spent much of the season at half-forward, averaging 24 disposals and kicking 15 goals in 14 games.

He is one of four Panthers named in the elite team, along with dashing defender Joey Haines, former Power half-back Matthew Broadbent and former Crows rookie-listed ruckman Paul Hunter, who joined mid-year after the VFL season was cancelled because of COVID-19.

Hunter was the highest ranked SANFL player, averaging 135 Champion Data ranking points in his seven games, and starring in South’s first semi-final win against premier Glenelg.

There are seven debutants in this year’s team of the year, where players will be awarded State guernseys for the first time.

This comes after the state game between SA and Western Australia was cancelled because of the coronavirus.

They include Norwood veteran Richard Douglas, who had a standout first year for the club after playing 246 AFL games for the Crows, Sturt key defender Sam Wundke, who was a revelation after signing from Adelaide Footy League Division 3 club Glenunga, Hunter and Broadbent and North Adelaide trio Cameron Craig, Campbell Combe and Andrew Moore, who have played major roles in the Roosters making the grand final.

Redlegs ruckman Sam Baulderstone, who retired after the final minor round, has been selected for the fifth time.

Wooden spooner West Adelaide is the only club without a representative.

The Eagles and North boast the most players, with four.

Joint Ken Famer Medallists Liam McBean (Glenelg) and James Rowe (Eagles), who kicked 38 goals in the revamped 14-round home-and-away season, sit alongside each other in the forward line.

This year’s coach will be the premiership coach, given Jacob Surjan (North), Jade Sheedy (Eagles) and Jarrad Wright (South) have all taken their clubs from outside the top five to be the last three teams standing.

The Advertiser SANFL Team of the Year was selected by The Advertiser’s Andrew Capel and Peter Cornwall, the SANFL’s Matthew Duldig and Zac Milbank, Channel 7’s Mark Soderstrom and, in the absence of the annual State match, State chairman of selectors Stephen Rowe.

2020 THE ADVERTISER SANFL TEAM OF THE YEAR

INTERCHANGE

[DOC]

I have to say that the effort of Sam Wundke to go from Div 3 in the ammos to SANFL team of the year is first rate.

Looks to me to be a fair side and the fact Hunter made it after playing only half the season says he has dominated since arriving and that current ruck stocks are a little thin.

[Jim05]

Sturt U18’s through time the GF, maybe the Eagles should have played an extra man this week
