2023 Adelaide Footy League- Division 1

Seems fair risk to recruit a player on the same weekend the sanfl has a bye though

In fairness though that is a perfect time for an SANFL player to reassess where they are at as far as league selection goes etc.

Surely the league will look however at where they play next week and if thats back at SANFL footy then there is obviously an issue.

Nah, I don't buy it.

You might be right. Surely if he plays for an SANFL club this week that will be enough for a complaint to be lodged and for the league to take some action. North were being a tad generous, Ollie Dignan who is a junior for Orroroo was allowed to go back and play for them this weekend despite playing every game in the ressies this year so far.

I just know of one SANFL player from Centrals who was going to wait to the state game bye to see how he was travelling after an injury plagued 2022. if he didn't feel he was close to a league game was going to return to his home club for the season. Not our club unfortunately.

Ladder shows SPOC winless - obviously there is the answer, no permit was submitted to the league for approval and the rules were broken.

SPOC will blame Play HQ for the mistake

No - they fessed up once they discovered it

Realise early days, but in terms of trying to avoid relegation that's a huge kick in the teeth.

Agreed

Especially since the error was against another club in the same predicament

[redyellow&blue]

Zero issues with the SACFL, SANFL, ADFL cracking down on points etc, my guess is there might be a few more clubs over the next few weeks that get hit too....

If I’m Iggies I’m singing the song on Tuesday night at training for a bit of a lift

That might work and the bit of a lift might get them up this week as well

I don't think you have anything to worry about, Jimmy! It's likely to be Iggies' only 'win' for the season.

So if SPOC had received permission from West and ADFL approved a permit then it would be all good, is that how it works?

No

The player playing for SPOC needed to have played enough games for SPOC to receive a permit. The permission from West Adelaide was already needed to get one.

It shouldnt have been allowed

No, had to have played 20 games previously for SPOC or for Saints

If the player had genuinely quit WA and gone to SPOC, then they could've approached the league regarding the situation, and i'm sure it would've been approved.

I don't read the rule as having that kind of wriggle room that the League could approve.

Suspect it would have been too bad, he plays in round 6.

After another club played with the rules last year: I suspect you are 100% correct

OK so work this one out. A player played in the same game at Westies with James on the same day then played B’s with Goody Saints Saturday. He’s not a Saints junior.

Genuine question but do these rules apply to Reserves and C Grade?

[Jimmy_041]

Same rule applies to Reserves players
Gees, I'm glad you blokes dont know who I am
Cant get away with anything

Antonio James playing for SPOC on the weekend - thought you had to have been a junior or played 25 games to get a permit to local league?

Its an interesting one

Doesn't work that way in the womens divisions but it might in the mens.

Yes it does.
