If they ban Botha, then they have to act on Murali in the Big Bash league. He has got away with it for 18 years because the ICC were too scared of the Asian block.

What has given me the shits is Andy Flower coming out and acting like his the coach of the England Angels Cricket Team FFS!!!!!!!!

Everytime they have gotten Watson out they have given him an absolute spray (who can blame them) but ffs be realistic.

His presses was the biggest load of wank I have ever heard!!!!

Not a huge fan of Doug either but he is far from a bad bowler. I think we can all agree that Clint McKay has the most punchable face of anyone in Australian cricket?

Am I the only one that is worried that England might actually turn the blow torch on Australia in Perth.

Anderson and Broad are still capable of devastating spells and there seems a worrying air of certainty that we will get the job done in Perth.

I hope my fear and paranoia are so sooo wrong but I think this Test will be a lot closer than the first two.

Not poor batting just some players in our lineup are not up to Test standard

Just think. Without T20 would Warner be playing tests? Or Steve Smith? Without ODI cricket would Johnson have been recalled? I reckon Nathan Lyon may well still be sitting on his tractor too.

Time to get off the high horse with limited overs cricket and realise it's paying a lot of the bills. It keeps kids interested in playing cricket and gets people to actually watch domestic cricket. I am 100% a test fan first and foremost but I'm not too proud to enjoy other forms of cricket and realise the importance to the game overall.

Nearly a case of Mclaren Vale

Saffers highest opening partnership of series is 20

For those that can't or won't move on, who have protested by not buying their club's membership this year, won't go to Port or Crows SANFL games, or for those that just need a place to sook.

Here you go.

Just because you don't give a rats about the club or your comp doesn't mean we should be the same.

Vice President, arena advertising and sponsor the club ... please advise what else I need to do to give a rats. #-o

Wouldn't you rather people 'whinge' in the thread that is named the AFL in SANFL whinge thread.

Remember you don't have to look at this thread if you don't want to .

A lot of these supporters have been supporting this comp for many many many many years and have now seen it torn apart. Not everyone is of the mentality its changed so im just gonna follow along regardless of what happens to our comp.

These are people who get to see their side live every single week of the year, they get to see their reserves players every week, they get to meet and have a beer with their heroes on a weekly basis it creates a lot of passion.

Remember you don't have to follow the SANFL if you don't want to.

I don't follow the SANFL, I follow Centrals. The SANFL is run by a bunch of cowards just looking after themselves and their next job interests.

If (it will never happen) Centrals pulled stumps on the SANFL and said they were playing in another comp, I would be happen for them to leave and I would follow.

I see what you did there ...

I didn't say he's guilty but there are 30 charges and if he's found guilty he needs to go. I'm a white ribbon ambassador and take domestic violence very seriously. It's not a joking matter and more men need to get on board. 11 times I collected my sister from hospital over the years so you can shove your hard on comment up your arse.
The hard on comment was directed at you enjoying the situation Glenelg find themselves in, anyone who's read your posts know you love sticking it to Glenelg and that's fine , it's a forum for everyone.
What I would find offensive is if you were using this situation as a soap box and self appreciation exercise.

I suppose if pictures of blokes arses with objects protruding from them are your go, well good luck to you second team.

If Clarkes not fit for the first test. Ferg will be a chance to make his test debut

Clarke will play by the sounds of it, Watto back to number 3 and the no show **** off would be a good start yeah I think that's almost certain. They have to be cautious with Clarke though. Rather him miss a test this year, than the World Cup

Disagree there, shouldnt be selected for the WC, needs to be stood down from the shorter forms. Steve Waugh was a far better ODI cricketer than Clarke and he got stood down.
Clarke needs to concentrate on tests only there is no way Steve Waugh was a far better player than Clarke. Waugh only got three ODI hundreds in his career and only averaged 32

I think Dizzy is off doing his coaching training at the moment, but agreed bring him in, anyone, just sack chuck FFS

Just read the MSN Sport statement from the helmet manufacture, What a heatless pack of absolute wankers. Stating that Hughes had an old model helmet on and the 'new' updated version has protection in the area Hughes was hit.

For starters, That's bullshit. I have never seen a helmet that would protect where Hughes was hit. Not to mention Hughes is still in Hospital and these pricks are trying to sell there new helmet. IMO absolute disgrace.

For the record I don't see this as anyone's 'fault' so to speak its just a very unfortunate thing that from time to time happens, There shouldn't be any knee jerk reactions IMO.

Just hope Hughes has a full and speedy recovery, Times like this you don't even think about playing again, First and foremost is Hughes's health.

Very sad, i am struggling to accept the news to be honest. I convinced myself he would pull through! Although a lot of us don't see eye to eye on this forum, it's times like these that being part of the SA Footy community gives us a place where we can talk about such a tradegy and try and get through. I dunno if that makes any sense but I'm pretty frazzled. Someone lost a son a brother a friend a teammate and all round gentleman today.

The new appointment should be somebody not currently coaching an SANFL team.

I feel terribly for all the players that were there. Haddin made a lunge to try & catch Phil as he fell, Warner was right there & ran to the boundary to get help, Abbot holding his head - heart breaking, Tom Cooper who lived with him & was batting with him & took Phils pads off carefully on the boundary.
Callum Ferg & Cosgrove who had batted with him for long periods earlier in the day & lots others.
All the talk & concern has been about the Aust players & fair enough but not much has been really mentioned about the welfare of the SA boys, who had to return home without their mate. He had played a lot more with the SA lads in recent times.

Good to see Abbott play today and grab a couple of wickets

Peter Forrest can bypass the selection criteria and jump straight in to the XI for wearing number 00

Is there a bigger dickhead opening bowler partnership than Lee and Bollinger?

Excellent little knock from Botha

Pag wrote:Woolworths, killing the hotel industry.

Never a truer word spoken.

How do you know they're not going to sack him immediately?
You have to make sure all your processes are in place before doing so.
I know it's popular to have a crack at clubs for the sake of it, but give them a chance to get the job done right.

Lokan has definitely been appointed as the Senior Coach for 2015 (therefore not as interim).

The club will immediately look to recruit a Senior Assistant Coach in lieu of the now vacant Head of Football Development.

Reserves Coach Brett Backwell's role has not changed or been affected in any way by the events and announcements today.

The contingency plan enacted today has been planned for some time, but the club had to ensure that it carefully assessed the verdict, liaised with key stakeholders, including staff, players and support personnel and formalising the final decision via a Board Meeting. To suggest that they do otherwise IMHO would have been unprofessional and not in the best interests of all concerned.

I'm sure many will disagree, but I believe that the club has handled itself well during this fiasco, and today made a prompt and prudent decision despite some unwarranted hysteria by some media. The time taken to announce a decision on the fate of the Senior Coach took approx 6 hours from when hearing completed at 1:30pm (EST). Whilst the verdict was released late morning, there were further court proceedings that were conveniently not reported by the media.

The CEO had to return to Adelaide after the hearing in Melbourne, advise his Board and key stakeholders, and formalise the decision with the Board before a media release.

The President, Board and CEO have my full support, as does Matt Lokan as Senior Coach, who I'm sure will make a good account of himself in his new role.

Yep and the last chance to use the most over priced members ticket of the last 10 years. No domestic one dayers and no Australia Day game. It would be financial stupidity not to attend

7 out of 7

Give me Botha over Cossie anyday....not sure about holding back talent, 1 overseas player per shield squad isn't excessive IMO and can add to the comp.

You'll need the sound up....

Another great result for sanfl footy. No doubt this will encourage the panther fans to come back. Did port end up with any non afl listed players playing? Why don't south just improve to match ports standard? I'm sure like last year injuries will take their toll on port and bring them back to the pack. :roll:
