An example given was South played port with Port having 9 afl players, centrals faced them with 14. Also mentioned no team should have to face them with a shorter break, given their advantage of facilities and not having to work.
Spot on Roy, sticking up for the sanfl and the little integrity left.
Great to see someone respected standing up and saying what every SANFL fan is thinking. I still want that media release for what is going to change for next year, Rowe said it was ment to be released last week but since that little comment about what he heard. I've got a feeling there is going to be something in there to piss us off even more.
Question for you guys what would you be happy with? by the looks of it, both the crows and power wont be able to sign anyone over 23, only one year contract and only from South Australia. I'm wondering what happens to the currently listed players that are over 23, if they are only allowed to play out there current contracts or are not allowed to play next year for them. No mention if anything has changed about how long they have to be out of the SANFL before signing or how much they can pay them or if they can still have a leadership player. I'm all for bringing them esp the way port are structured this year back to the pack but i'd much prefer some more space in the salary cap to make the real SANFL clubs stronger. Oh and i still don't understand why we are allowing port to persist with this academy crap in our reserves, piss them off, not needed, waste of time.
The SANFL has put a block on community clubs contracting players beyond 2015, why should these guys be given a leg up
Delist them, they are adding nothing to the competition
