Re: SAAFL division 5 2014

If Tom can get through the season, will be a big pick up. Hopefully for his sake he does cos' he has been through a fair bit just to play footy.

Am overseas so not sure where the club is at in regard to Mattner and Eagles but I can tell you they have moved heaven earth for big matty over the years and Pasky had no issues getting him from us so my concern for them is zero. Would be great to have the big guy back, great player and a top bloke, definitely a one of a kind, which is our speciality at Havens.

Re: SAAFL division 5 2014

Since everybody knows best, how would anybody have run the club differently from 2009.

2009 - Relegated to div 7 with 2 junior teams. No junior committee.

2014 - Most senior players moved on, In division 5, 5 Junior team and a junior committee. All because the a grade has been successful
I would say the club has grown and are on track to have an under 18's side within 5 years.

What should the club have done differently ?????
stayed in D3...

Re: SAAFL Division 2 2014

SOrry, it wasn't meant to sound harsh but the fact is...you don't claim to go and play with mates for $555 a game. ($10k divided by 18)

Imagine what he'd charge for playing with a bunch of strangers! ;) Do you? :shock: Maybe I'm a bit naive :oops:

That would be on par with what Neon Leon was offered to play SAAFL - it just doesn't sound right, it sounds like a highly inflated amount is what I'm trying to say.

Fair point. Wonder if he would play at SMOSH for no pay. Doubt it.

If that were the case, You think that only applies to him? No one has ever changed clubs for money... The possibility of winning games of footy might have something to do with it.

He also lives in Henley, works in the area, has a new bubs, and forgive the man if he is over driving an hour and a half to get belted each week by blokes more inclined to try and break his jaw, than play the football.

Re: SAAFL Division 3 2014

It has always been the case that you need two teams to compete in the divisions that have a reserves comp for a side to be in div 3 with no reserves is a joke.

Sides are just picking and choosing what they do now, relegation and promotion are no longer certainties.

It affects us because we meet the league criteria and don't pick and choose where we play and when we have lean years we face the music.

Re: Rnd 3 Post Match - Eagles v Power

R.I.P SANFL :evil:

Sick of this reference. The Sanfl died years ago in terms of standard, probably due to excessive money in country leagues and the growing popularity in soccer. If an Sanfl side can't beat a bunch of talented kids who have only played against boys and underdone/out of form AFL players then the standard is shit. 10 years ago an afl reserves side would not get within 10 goals of a top 5 League side.

Re: Rnd 3 Post Match - Eagles v Power

an SANFL player who only trains for 4-6 hour a week!!

Huh? SANFL players are "at the club" a lot more than that. This is why so many kids are playing country and amateur league footy. They got sick of training 5 days a week plus game day for $75. They can train one night at Mt Compass, for example, and get paid $800.

A typical SANFL player:
Monday - light training run match review.
Tuesday - weights session, massage, rehab.
Wednesday - main training session.
Thursday - day off.
Friday - Team meeting, light training run, generally touch work, game structure.
Saturday - Game day.
Sunday - Rehab Session.

Re: The 2014 season no AFL in the SANFL whinge thread

If you look at the feature story in the Northern Argus it shows a little about the benefit for Country Footy. And the involvement of the Redden family.

"Every club in the NEFL has been involved in some way, shape or form and they will all be on hand to help out during the day.

Parking will be monitored by the BBH Football Club, the canteen is being run by South and North Clare- as well as upstairs at the Clare Sports Club, the bars are being run by both RSMU and Min/Man and the barbecue will be cooked by the Southern Saints and BSR."

"Ruth Warnock said money from the gate is going to the SANFL and all other proceeds from the event are going to the NEFL.

“All proceeds from the day are strictly going back into Junior Development of the NEFL,” Ruth said. "

Re: Round 7 - live scores , results & what's gone down.

Football has changed too much for many of us, but this one is the final straw to confirm the change in the fabric of the game.

Vineys only real choices were to brace for impact as he did or step out of the way and avoid the contest all together.

The latter is what the powers that be are telling the competition they want to see, players avoid contests. Contesting the ball was the first and most basic act in the game that we've all been taught since we were nippers. AFL should never be referred to as "Australian Rules Football" again.

This is a different sport to that.

Re: Rnd 6 - Port Magpies v Sturt @ Alberton (Sun 11/5)

Such is the sorry mess of the SANFL.
Non Power Magpie supporters have been truly been shafted by the promises from the One Club vote.
But what do you expect.
Where were these people when the Power went into the AFL and had pretty much 100% support from members?

Port Adelaide knows very well that 95% of Port Adelaide fans are behind both the Power and the Magpies. Our loyalty as a club is to Port Adelaide in both forms, not to a weird minority that support one for some weird reason. And our overall membership numbers(52k and counting) shows that we've made the right decision, so all you fans of other SANFL clubs can take your worries elsewhere.

Re: Koch Head

I think you'll find the Power will no doubt be financially better off than at football Pk, its already proven a success for them coz no doubt they are winning but i think Koch isn't happy coz his club ain't getting what they were originally promised providing they get the crowds' in which they are.
I loved Football Pk & i thought from a states financial position it would of been better to put a roof on it & clean it up for under half the $$$$ they spent on Adelaide oval but our knobhead polititions thought otherwise coz they love spending. it also would of been the end of Port if they didn't make the transition & i think centrcirclelegend would of loved that.
Time will tell, remember its still only early years for Adelaide Oval, lets see if its a success in 5 years time.

Very good game by us yesterday. I had to leave early, but I imagine the song went off after the game. Thats the first time we've done what we know we can do and put a side away.

Also, good to see that Brahma had a somewhat competitive game against Trinity. Looks like Brahmas on the up


Very happy with the effort by Havens, half our side played B Grade last year so it is pleasing to see the young lads take the step up.

Good to see you are up and about HH3, I thought something had broken as soon as it happened.

NH B Grade would have about 5 or 6 left from the GF Last year and the year before I think they will improve over the season and hopefully make the finals but I doubt they will be the force they were last year.
On a positive note we are getting an average of 70 at trainings so numbers are good despite losing so many from that particular team.
Dols is partially correct a large number are in the As replacing players that moved on this season.

I haven't seen CLG but they seem to be pretty good from all reports. I have seen WOS though and I would rate them the second best team we have played behind Para Hills. But in an even comp any team can the look the goods on any given day.

Wonder what the smallest Friday night crowd at the Parade is in recent years.
Beautiful conditions for football tonight and the Cows with their strongest line up for the year, would of thought with their guaranteed 4k we should of pushed 7-8k tonight. Would of hardly covered the power bill tonight, thanks again you lyin caarnts.

Well, when the league has been so badly compromised, you have to think why? Who let them in?

The biggest liar by far, in this whole debacle has been the NFC as led by Tripodi. Do not complain about what you sanctioned. if you can not lay the blame where it rightly sits, then the argument lacks substance. At no stage did Norwood ever vote the AFL clubs in due to a perception of crowd figures, expenditure or profit. They sold their vote to alleviate their penalty from cheating the salary cap.

Re: Round 7 - Port Magpies v South @ Alberton Oval (Sat 17/5

I don't really care about whatever advantages or perceived advantages they have at the moment, just gotta take it for what it is. If we come in with the right attitude and make the most of our opportunities, we can absolutely win.

Port has looked a million bucks in patches this year, but so have we (they've just sustained it for longer periods). We've got the best-marking, hard-running and long-kicking forward in the league and one of the best-running midfields (average 30 more handball receives than our opponents this year, no-one comes close). We're not that far off Port in terms of disposal efficiency and skill level. Our defence will get tested, but I reckon our biggest issue is the fact it's at a venue that we've had such little success at in over 100 years.

Haven't looked forward to an SANFL match as much as this since our final against them in 2006. This game means a lot for our season. Whatever they're called/badged now, they're still the same Port Adelaide Magpies that I've despised for so long. Carn South. :D
