The never ending No AFL in the SANFL whinge thread

[Jimmy_041]

This doesn't seem to fit in with another event.
Call me cynical (because I am) but I think the recent reduction in TPPS / APPS was to stem the flow of SANFL players to the Adelaide FL / country leagues.
There are plenty of cashed up clubs having not paid players this year
There's going to be a huge transfer if they bin the Reserves

I heard that the AFL reserves in the SANFL are goneski. And will revert back to players being distributed to other SANFL clubs.

Thought theyve said Goddens their reserves coach?

Lots of talk re no AFL teams in comp next year, but then both teams making lots of announcements suggesting otherwise, like Godden to coach Crows team and Port wanting Sutcliffe to play in their team, so fairly interesting how it will all play out!

Its a fascinating situation....

No. It's giving me the 5h1ts, I want them both gone!

At this stage the AFL clubs are 100% in the league competition (unfortunately). It will depend on how Covid shapes AFL next year - they may not be able to play in our league again next year.
But the SANFL clubs are now holding the whip hand and believe that the original arrangements made were way too favourable towards the AFL clubs.
The clubs have given the SANFL some non negotiables including... no marquee players and top up players to receive a flat payment of $200.00 per game.

As an aside, does anyone know if the AFL has given any indication as to list sizes next year?

No they haven't

42 + 2 cat B rookies is the most common I've heard

The SANFL competition is so much better without the AFL Reserves.

If they do come back:

- Port should pay the same as the Crows.
- That amount should be increased as there were no extra crowds or extra effort by the Crows or Port to promote the competition.
- No marquee players.

NO AFL IN THE S.A.N.F.L.

Agree with all of the.
Your 3rd point regarding marquis players. How did that happen. The AFL sides were strong enough and somehow someone at the SANFL decided they need strengthening. PA need to pay as they are no longer a SANFL side. They just can't come into the comp and go at will. I would suggest that they play for no points as well.

Here we go again.....the power delists Cam Sutcliffe but wants him to continue playing in their SANFL side. I reckon they will be under handed (again) and offer some sought of inducement which the SANFL sides can't match.
He's already been a marqee player once.

Yep.
Scrap the marquee player completely and make it that no one who has been on a AFL list previously is eligible to play.

I still don’t believe the AFL reserves are a fait accompli and that the SANFL has a number of proposals to run the rule over
