SANFL 2024

Need Port in the SANFL. Wish they could keep a side totally separate to AFL

Pretty sure Malcolm Blight and a report done by the AFL as to why the interstate teams (not Vic based) were dominating the finals at the time came to the same conclusion.

Since 2010 Fremantle, 1, Adelaide, 1, West Coast 2 have made Grand Finals playing outside of the NEAFL/VFL competitions.

is that a product of the competition or the coaches, internal development processes, list management/selections or god forbid the AFL FIXture, mate??

From 1991 to 2010 sides from outside the NEAFL/VFL who distributed players across their available state league clubs made nine grand finals for six premierships - was that a product of the competition or the coaches, internal development processes, list management/selections or god forbid the AFL FIXture

IMO I'll always maintain that the former system was the best to support the development of new AFL listed latent as it taught the young draftees how to compete.

What do you think the detriment would be to the SANFL if the Power reserves were to move to another comp, AG?

[Aerie]

Perhaps we'll see the VFL go back to Victorian teams and Sydney, GWS, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Port, Crows, West Coast and Southport play in their own competition?

The AFL, VFL, SANFL, WAFL and NOCFL.

One less game per week to bet on.

Speaking of betting they may as well pay out already for Snelling on the Magarey Medal
7 games down already with probably 21 votes unless something unforeseen happens
he is the biggest certainty since Winx raced ,

They have only played 5 games, so at most he would have 15 votes. I would be very surprised if he got 3 votes at Prospect in Round 3.. He didn't poll a vote on SANFL Now. He at best got third best on ground from the coaches.
I think that Boyd from Norwood may have nearly as many votes at this stage,

My bad i cant count of course we have only played 5

Make of it what you will, but the following are the current leaders for the SANFL Now Player of The Year.:

Boyd 11
Combe 9
Coottee 9
Snelling 9
Rowe 8
Ryan 8
Grant 7
Beecken 5
D'Aloia 5
Allen 4

Looking at the fixture I noticed a week's break over the weekend 18-19 May. Further investigation determined that there is a state game in Perth on the Sunday. 10 days away, and we haven't heard a peep yet. I amused myself with the concept of a weekend in Perth, and went so far as to look at airfares ... then I realised that the game is at Optus stadium, and appears to be a curtain raiser to a West Coast Eagles game.

Oh well.

Not a single post/mention on their facebook page of Saturday's game v North match before, during or after. Doing their best to bury the "Magpies" further.

Must be hard for those past players who bled for the prison bars seeing the squibs getting a game now.

Why cant they start their own SANFL side and continue the tradition?

You're right, there was a promo post for the game, I didn't scroll back far enough. But if you feel that's adequate coverage, well fair enough...

A 26-player West End State squad has been released, with as many as nine debutantes a chance to play in the KIA State Game against the WAFL in Perth on Sunday.

SANFL Chairman of Selectors Tim Ginever has included 13 new faces in the squad to face the Sandgropers at Optus Stadium after defeating the VFL by 14 points last month.

Woodville-West Torrens premiership defender Luke Beecken, Norwood trio Billy Cootee, Tom Donnelly and Matt Ling, Sturt pair Connor McFadyen and Amos Doyle, West midfielder Kobe Ryan, Glenelg utility Riley Holder and Central defender Brinn Little could don the cherished red guernsey for the first time.

Experienced quartet Chris Curran (Glenelg), Eamon Wilkinson (South) and North Adelaide pair Mitch Harvey and Campbell Combe have also been called upon to retain the Haydn Bunton Junior Cup with a fifth successive win against the WAFL.

Among the players unavailable for selection are Glenelg’s Liam McBean (hamstring) and Lachie Hosie (broken hand), Eagle Riley Knight (calf), Bulldogs midfielder Harry Grant (knee), West defender Josh Ryan (hamstring), as well as Norwood ruckman Harry Boyd and Sturt rover Will Snelling.

West End State team coach Jade Rawlings will put his team through its paces at training on Tuesday (Alberton) and Thursday (West Lakes) before the team flies out on Saturday for the contest at 2.15pm SA time, which will be the curtain-raiser to the West Coast v Melbourne AFL match.

The KIA State Game will be screened live and free via SANFL Now and AFL Live Official App and AFL.com.au

So did Boyd and Snelling just say no thanks? Big advantage to their clubs.

Maybe the SANFL should withhold them from the next league game?

I don't have FB and even if I did I wouldn’t visit other clubs pages I don't support, but out of interest, how much coverage did South's Ressies get?

Then you guys would whinge if we were given our recruiting zones back and whinge about the superior training facilities and demand a move to Nazer reserve. And then we'd do this all over again
