The news gets even better for Mount Compass supporters tonight as we believe that paperwork has been lodged for Jason Porplyzia to join the Bulldogs.
Jason played 130 games for Adelaide and kicked 181.
The Porpoise would be reunited with former Crows teammate Lewis Johnston and strengthen the Dogs already solid Premiership chances.
*Our understanding is Porplyzia would be a 0pt player.
Confirmation of this signing as soon as it comes to hand.
Jason Played league footy for West Adelaide 11 times in 2018, so don't be fooled by this 24 month rubbish that appears to being used.
If he is transferred as a zero pointer, then someone actually does not know what they are doing and clearly has not read through the rules in their entirety. This is exactly why Dix cannot be 0 points- Rules as follows:
Due to the abandonment of season 2020 by many Leagues impacted by COVID19 the following shall apply:
9.6.1. For season 2021 any club who actively participated in the 2020 season

also retained from the 2019 season to the 2020 season.
9.6.2. For season 2021 any player who transferred to a club prior to April 1st

2020 will receive the usual -1 point discount if they are retained for the
2021 season.

9.6.5.2. For season 2022 a players point rating shall be determined by the
balance of matches played in the 2019 and 2021 seasons.
SANFL reps released a statement before season starting stating 24 month rule still applies to be eligible for 0 points, meaning if a player played in 2018 and did not play in 2019 and 2020 he would be automatically 0 points. Based on this Porplyzia is 0. This is from SANFL not GSFL
If that's the case the Porplyzia could be zero, but I don't know about that correspondence , but still does not explain the Dix decision who played in both 2018 and 2019
Dix last game in 2019 was in May from memory. Had he waited until end May / start June 2021 to play he would’ve also been 0 as he hadn’t played for 24 months.. However he played before this time and based on the APPS rules should’ve been allocated points. I struggle to understand how league officials in any league can override a players points, this opens up a can of worms. The APPS rules are pretty clear to understand and I can’t believe the SANFL would allow this to happen.
