Normally love open MIke but didn't watch this one. Way too much air time for an umpire.

Hope my footy tips total gets adjusted to reflect this. That's the most important thing in this situation.

He will because they're too weak to do anything. Some reason they seem happy with a few honorable loses. As a lifelong Carlton supporter I've almost given up, would never support another team but barely watch them anymore knowing they'll get smashed or just waiting to lose if it is close.

Here come all the port supporters wanting their 30 odd premierships.

Are you ok with the Sydney Swans claiming South Melbourne premierships as their own?
Not really but happy with Carlton to add 6. Will be another 100 years before we add another 1 the way we're travelling. Didn't say i agreed i just knew the Port supporters would say something. Probably Freo as well if they have any on here.

I can only remember two carlton/geelong games. 95 gf listening on the radio while camping :evil: and the game where peter riccardi kicked the goal after the siren at telstra dome :D
that was touched on the mark. Needed a goal review system then. Actually probably not as they would've stuffed it up anyway

Amazing this bloke didn't get de-registered. Always the same comments, "top bloke" "out of character" "last guy i would think to do this". To bad, **** off to boxing, oh wait your opponent might be facing you when you try to punch him.

How much is it gonna take to keep them though? Good coaches don’t come cheap.

That's why they can't afford any recruits in the league side.

Good luck dealing with Essendon at trade week.

Wow that AFL forward line is terrible. 2 years ago the best in the comp now one of the worst.

Maybe if one of your recruits gets drafted it may actually help with recruiting next year. Players might see your club as a good choice because it could help them get drafted. Might lose 1 or 2 but could be ahead in the long run.

How has Gibbons been going? Can he play a forward pressure role for the Blues?
Started season as small forward and was terrible, to be fair our structure going forward under Bolton was terrible. Been playing more mid than fwd since Teague has come in. Same problem when drafted Deluca mid season, trying to make mids as small fwds doesnt work.

Congratulations to Harrison Magor from North Adelaide who has won the 2019 McCallum Tomkins Medal!
Harrison is now the fourth Rooster in six years to win the U18 McCallum Tomkins Medal!
Well done to the young feller. Hopefully we'll see something of him at league level before he vanishes in a puff of AFL draft smoke.
This year is his draft year so he will be hoping to vanish in the puff of AFL draft smoke in a couple months
Wouldn't be too many playing u18s in SA that get drafted from there would there?
Most would be playing at least ressies if not league before an AFL club looks at you.
That is normally right. Think he only played 10 games then played state footy and reserves plus school footy. Think he's probably a late pick or rookie if getting drafted. The last 2 winners pudney and woodcock have been drafted but woodcock won it as an under 17 and pudney only got drafted because he was a category B listed player (Asian).

Watched u/12 GF yesterday. Pretty good game and as a neutral supporter thought the 2 umpires were pretty good (not sure the crowd agreed with me). Was disappointed that one kid spent the whole game on the bench. I know its a GF but surely every kid should get a run. All the scoring was at one end so could've easily put him at FF if didn't want him around the footy. Still a lot of work needs to be done with junior coaching, the yelling and carrying on from the sidelines was embarrassing, its u/12's not the AFL.

Former Central District coach Roy Laird slams SANFL over concessions offered to AFL clubs
Recently retired Central District coach Roy Laird is passionate about the SANFL, but he is angry at the help being offered to the league’s two AFL clubs.
Central District coaching legend Roy Laird has not held back in slamming the SANFL for pandering to the “squealing” of Adelaide’s AFL clubs.
The now-retired seven-times premiership coach took a parting shot at the league, claiming attractive concessions granted to the AFL clubs’ reserves after the 2018 season had significantly strengthened those teams to the detriment of the competition.
The introduction of base payments for top-up players had created an unfair situation, according to Laird, and allowing the reserves teams to have 17 AFL-listed players in the finals gave Adelaide and Port Adelaide a massive advantage given they could attract superior players.
Laird also noted comments from Port Adelaide when it said it would be putting all its resources into the state league finals following the Power’s demise and he argued the SANFL premiership was just a consolation prize. However, he said the SANFL flag is the ultimate prize for the traditional clubs.
“It was a disappointing season for North Adelaide, West Adelaide, Woodville-West Torrens and Central District,’’ Laird said.
“There will be great interest from a league point of view what concessions those clubs will be granted next year. Because it appears you just have to squeal and jump up and down, which is what Port and the Crows did last year, to be granted certain concessions.
“As we all know, there will be no such concessions for the SANFL’s traditional clubs, which will be another example we are prepared to bend over and appease their demands.”
The Crows and Power were hit by injuries last season, impacting on their reserves teams and they finished bottom and second bottom respectively.
The two clubs met with the SANFL and were granted a marquee player, plus were allowed to offer $20,000 in base payments with a cap of $4000 to attract high quality top up players.
Laird argues the bottom tiered players at SANFL clubs receive no base payments, just match fees, so why should their equivalent in the AFL reserves teams be offered the bonus money.
“Clearly players will jump to those clubs if they are in a position to offer more money,” Laird said. “It is a ridiculous situation.
“We spoke with potential recruits and they knocked us back on the line they were staying in the country to play football, then within weeks they signed with Adelaide or Port Adelaide on the basis of limited training expectations and what we assume more money with the base payments.
“Those clubs now also have the benefit of a mid-season draft and the potential to strengthen their sides with the best players from the traditional clubs. Why give them those other concessions as well?
“It would be extremely frustrating for South Adelaide, who just missed the finals, after losing players under the new AFL draft rules. Its whole livelihood depends on satisfying members, supporters and sponsors.”
Laird said the AFL clubs will argue they have yet to win the SANFL flag, but he noted Port had contested three grand finals, losing two by less than a goal, since becoming the Power reserves in 2014, while the Crows contested the preliminary final this year.
“The majority of SANFL clubs need the AFL reserves sides to have injuries to be competitive,” Laird said. “So why does the SANFL give them more concessions?”
SANFL general manager football Adam Kelly defended the changes to the regulations at the end of the 2018 season, claiming the introduction of a $20,000 player payment cap, in addition to a match payment limits of $400, was to underpin the attractiveness, relevance and quality of the league by ensuring “state league quality players were participating for the AFC and PAFC”.
“In many cases, the supplementary list players are aspirational and seeking further development, but were either lacking opportunity at SANFL league level or had not been part of the SANFL competition,” Kelly said.
“Ultimately, this has increased the pool of SANFL league quality players, with players such as Tom Hutchesson and Hamish Latchford, benefiting from the opportunity at AFC and PAFC and the resources they have provided for their development.”
Kelly noted the winning percentage of the AFL clubs in the six years they have been in the competition was 50 per cent.
An obligation of the licence agreement, entered into in 2013 and concluding at the end of the 2028 season, for the AFC and PAFC to compete in the league is to have an annual review of the terms and conditions of the licence, as well as the regulations pertaining to the AFL club teams.
The impact of last year’s changes is being assessed in a review of the 2019 season.

Menzel and brothers who are son of a ex afl player.

You know some blokes nominate once and then it stays on for a few years right? Maybe same club spoke to him once so he nominated, pretty sure if you ask him he knows he's not getting drafted. You just worry about Broadbents "mental health" issuses at south and why other clubs wouldn't touch him.

Holiday approval form in my pigeonhole this morning. Heading to the US for 6 weeks in October. Was very surprised it was approved as work recently introduced a black out period for holidays from November 1st to the second week in January. I had put in for 8 weeks but was approved for 6 so better than nothing.
Now to spend the next few months planning and booking
Going over for 5 weeks dec/jan. Xmas in New york. Last day of work tomorrow until feb with long service leave.

A few more ins for the Dogs.. (courtesy of SANFL site)


Jai Nanscawen (Dandenong Stingrays), Mitch Bunworth (Palmerston Magpies), Joel Buderick (NT Thunder/Nightcliff),
Brett Kennedy (South Adelaide)

Any thoughts on Kennedy from Panther fans? Is he a mid, tall etc..?

Ryan Carnelly is also back at the dogs. He will play League, fittest one on the track, good skills.
Carnelly will just be happy Laird is gone so he can wear long sleeves

Brahma lodge fc trials as follows

8/3 Eastern park at Eastern park
13/3 Mawson lakes at Salisbury west
27/3 Smithfield at Smithfield

Heading into the season off the back of 3 trial losses is ballsy :P


To be the best you must play the best. No point hiding behind 10 goal wins against rubbish opponents
When you're in the lowest div, not much choice but to play higher teams as most clubs don't seem to want to play trials against teams in same div.

Last 24 hours the confirmed cases are decreasing in QLD wit’h only 9 and NSW down to 48

do they reckon this be a continuing trend?

If we keep doing what we're doing, or in fact become more vigilant in our distancing measures, it appears to be trending in that manner.

We must all remain vigilant though.

This Easter long weekend will be a big test.
Hoping people are smart .
Good luck with that

getting it without no hesitation. they can track me anyway as i know im not doing anything wrong. If it brings back footy & pubs earlier then im in. Is it available yet? Assume its on playstore or appstore depending on your phone

You don’t need to support an afl club to enjoy the death of one clubs sanfl team I would of thought.

Anyway happy to move on and glad to hear u r not offended.

I’ll Happily buy you a beer When the pubs open to make up for it.

SO you are ok with people being out of work???

Anyways this is an AFL thread and you alway pop in here talking absolute shit.. And that's rich cause i probably talk the most in here... But i don't sit around all day trying to troll the same person or go over the same bullshit 193294394949494948559494 times ... You are nothing more then a simple minded troll who brings absolute no value to this site... You are time waster of the highest order...
whats your thoughts on the 2016 AFL grand final umpiring?

Days since Essendon won a final: 5678
Days since a negative corona test:0

The next three weeks present us with our best opportunity for a win... if we can get enough fit players onto the park; Glenelg at home, Sturt away and West at home. Hoping, but not expecting, for at least one win.... it may be a zero win season if we don't capture one of these.
On a good news front, we have a new assistant coach joining us. Jeff's former assistant at Werribee is now living in Adelaide so is likely to join him in the box from next week.

Cheers
Jeff was an assistant at Werribee. So this guy was an assistants assistant? Need a bigger coaches box with all his helpers.

Ben is one of the great blokes of sanfl. Happy for him, wether you think he's up to it or not, great to see him get a game and try to play at his highest level instead of chasing easy country/ammo dollars.

Lyndon Woods & Tyson Richard to Dublin

I think Lynch will get a game for that. Stupidity at its greatest.
That shit goes on every week in every game.
The cameras are on Lynch the whole game, it’s ridiculous.
He ain’t getting a game for that with a prelim next week.
Lynch is worse than toby greene, biggest flog in the game. Mitch Robinson was right.

How do you prove to the joint you have signed in?
I was asked no less than 5 times to sign in even though I already had at the door?
I signed in twice(scanned the code) but told the 3rd person who asked to politely PO.

I don’t have the app I just scan the QR code that brings up the info already(I had to enter it manually the first time).

Had do you prove to them you have signed in? The text message you receive I guess is proof
You dont get the text message every time. I only got it on my first sign in. Never seen another text from the other times ive scanned it.

Option 2.

Ryan Paget put retirement on hold and an assistant coaching job in an elite program for the guarantee of premiership success so I would say Salisbury are certainties.

Carlton are a joke. Never going to win this.
Williamson
Plowman
Petreski- seton
Newnes
Murphy

None of these blokes would get a game at any other team.
Skills are disgraceful
The culture of the footy club has been destroyed since playing for draft picks and everyone is happy with showing signs, trying hard and close losses.

No one cares what guernsey port wears, as long as you can tell the bloody difference at the ground and on tv

Eddie did own Kane in that debate though, Kane had nothing excpet "but the fans want us to wear it"

2 Brownlows (should've been 3) - just ask him
A norm smith
team of the century

Pretty sure he'd still go alright in this era

In 30 years time people will be saying that cripps and fyfe wouldnt survive in the 2050's

Cant believe only 1 person has said Greg Williams

Its Diesel then daylight

I'll give you an idea as to why.
I was talking to one of the Norwood players back in the club after the match (BTW, thank you Norwood for ALL of your players coming back for presentations), he is/was a Central supporter, dad played for us, his reason for not wanting to play for us?
"Can't be stuffed travelling all that way for training & playing",
and that's a HUGE problem we now have, I know it never used to be a problem in the early 2000's, but kids have changed, times have changed.
And, apart from the brief successful period we had, it was a problem before that for years as well.
We need to dangle a much larger carrot but we need money & resources to do that.
The changing of the guard at the end of this season might be a step in the right direction, who knows & only time will tell.

Id be going and having a chat with South, they have faced the same issue but have taken a long term approach to turn their club and zone around, they now attract players and their junior program is the best going around, they have engaged heavily with their local clubs/leagues. A lot of this stuff didn't cost $'s or extra resources, it was just some very smart planning and strategy. Obviously they haven't achieved the ultimate success yet but you get the feeling they aren't far away.

Or go and get Tony Bamford
But he didnt play for centrals so they wont want him or send him packing after a year because he wanted to change things.

A shame there is no father son rule Marty Slades son has made the state under 17 side, plays for Sturt.
Think there is a father son rule if the family wants it.
Fielkes son played juniors at West Adelaide despite living at gawler
Stu Cochrane son is at centrals but doesn't live in zone
I think slade was probably fine to let his kid play at sturt, also with Michael wakelins kid. Think slade in particular has forgotten his roots.

Flinders park with a good inclusion. Dakota Nixon named from North Adelaide (reserves magarey medallist)

Yep. Think he played half 13s / half 14s Friday night.

Name the players that wouldn't get a game elsewhere?

I'm sure west would take them
Apart from West I don't think any of these players get games at sturt north eagles Glenelg Norwood or south
Marsh
Haydon
Grant
Lleyellwen
Weaver
Dahms
Pisani
Morton
Olsson
Gillard

Beef, I am stunned by some of those names.
Harry Grant has been our best player in a number of games this season; Dylan Morton has been very reliable down back all season; Dylan Weaver has been a consistently good member of our backline; Coooper Dahms is an extremely talented young player; Nick Gillard was best on ground only a couple of weeks ago; Ryan Llellewyn has been important since coming back from a really bad injury. The only one on that list whom I think may struggle is Johnathon Marsh but there are far worse players in the league than him.
Cheers
Some have been good for centrals in game but doesn't mean they are good enough to get games in better teams. Just my opinion and some have improved but still not good enough for other teams. Not a dig at the players and they are getting the most out of their ability but just not good enough.
