Re: Sydney Swans 2015

I fail to see how this Australia Day speech could cause so much outrage that people feel the need to boo someone, or is it a case of Chinese whispers, with the only words left at the end being Invasion Day?

There is also an article with the full speech in it.
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/adam-goodes-australian-of-the-year-speech-turned-fans-against-sydney-swans-champ-but-is-it-really-divisive/story-fni5f22o-1227463023081

Do you/we honestly think half the people booing would have even heard his speech never mind remember snipets of it to the point it makes them feel like they need to boo him in a game.

No, they probably haven't heard/read it. What they've heard is someone mention that he said Invasion Day in his speech, so apparently he "hates Australia" and he's "ramming Aboriginal issues down our throats".
This speech and also the fact that he won AoY and Crawf didn't have been big drivers of the indignation felt by many who are in the boo brigade.
These issues have been clearly stated for reasons people are booing him.
Yep, or he mentioned he "doesn't celebrate Australia Day" etc.
If it wasn't so sad it would be laughable.

Re: Adelaide Plains Football League

From an Association point of view, there are two possible directions this may head... To look at those you examine the existing teams first...

Balaklava - Good population, good junior numbers for the future of the comp, solid senior group already, local area sustainable, no risk of the town diminishing in the immediate future GOOD POSITION
Hamley Bridge - Small population, one ok junior side but not enough number to count on this for future, minimal senior representation, already a small town, with no immediate plans for growth DANGEROUS POSITION
Hummocks - Ok populations for the combined areas, ok juniors now, seniors improving but will rely heavily on recruited players for sustainability, Pt Wakefield will always be a busy area, but we already see that on locals alone (last year as an example) it is could prove difficult to compete. SEMI DANGEROUS POSITION
Mallala - Great Population, always good numbers and solid juniors, a core senior group that has been able to retain multiple 'imports' for multiple years, local area sustainable, good future for their area GREAT POSITION
Two Wells - Growing Population - Really good junior numbers and program, Senior group strong and still relatively young across the board, local area growing GREAT POSITION
United - Small Population, average junior numbers and results similar to Hamley, Local senior group ok but some are nearing the end of their playing days so rely on recruits to remain competitive and/or challenge, future growth of the area unlikely DANGEROUS POSITION
Virginia - Good population, junior numbers a huge concern esp given the population, had a great senior group that have stuck together for a while, but in 5 years if some/most are gone, who replaces them, the area itself is in great shape, urban sprawl will only add numbers MIDDLE ROAD POSITION

SUMMARY - Balak, Mallala and Two Wells are in really good positions, but 3 teams dont make a comp. Virginia are in a good position with their senior footy, but their juniors are a huge concern and i dont think they have their full compliment of netty teams either (but dont quote me). Hamley, United and Hummocks are the concerns (all at different levels of course). All have minimal numbers or depth in local senior ranks, and the ones that are there may be getting towards the back end of their careers. All 3 over the last two years have shown, to differing levels, that when relying on mainly locals, they are on a hiding to nothing, when a good local contingent are available with MULTIPLE 'imports', then they can compete. But when team are solely relying on imports to remain competitive, that is not a good sign.

So

Option 1 - Add Angle Vale in, bringing more numbers into the competition can't be a bad thing since EVERY country comp is struggling with participation rates. It is not out of the way in terms geographical location, and with high junior participation levels, it may filter into the rest of the comp where some teams are experiencing low numbers. Comp goes to 8, possible allows for an even draw not relying on byes, should be seen as a positive. If a team like Hamley folds, you are still left with a 7 team comp, so while not great to lose a club, the comp itself remains in a similar position but with higher junior numbers. Remembering that junior number will be the reason the comp continues in the future.

Option 2 - Change nothing. But what that does is put pressure on EVERYONE. Hamley have a long road ahead, with a non existant local playing base at the moment, they either have to wait to their juniors filter through (which numbers aren't that high anyway) or constantly rely on players from outside the town (imports in one form or another). Lets just say hypothetically that doesnt work out, comp is down to 6. Then lets say United (not picking on them, just an example) have 5 or 6 existing locals retire, the sugggested salary cap and points system restrict them from recruiting good numbers, then they are in the position like Hamley are now (and results this year have shown when all their imports have been out injured they have been belted even if not Hamley like), then in a few years they fold (and I could have used Hummocks as an example given similar demographics), down to 5 team... = COMP GONE .... what then...

Well I see it like this,

Virginia - perfect fit for the Ammo's solid senior numbers who could easily go up the divisions, no pressure of junior numbers which they are struggling with.
Mallala and Two Wells - Both enter the Barossa league, good juniors, strong seniors, strong netty, close proximity to the area, ticks all the boxes
Balak - Join the North Eastern league, same as above, but geographically better suited to the NE comp.
Hummocks - If sustainable, potentiall join the Yorkes league, travel wise would be relitively similar, strength of the comp may suit. If not sustainable, then potentially fold.
Hamley and United - Given population issues, potential of area growth being minimal, ability to recruit players to the club limited by the cap and points sytem, they both find themselves (at some stage but not immediate in United case) unsustainable. They could potentially merge together and attempt to join another league, I doubt the Barossa would take a third team, maybe too far away from the NEFL... not looking too bright if the comp goes bust.

So everyone has to ask themselves, if they sit around and do little and hope the association stays as it is because thats the way we like it, then they will be in for a big shock, the APFL (with other country leagues I may add) will die a slow death.

Re: Adelaide Plains Football League

I accept perhaps the analysis of United may have missed the mark but perhaps a bit harsh on someone simply participating in debate.

The analysis of Mallala as a viable township is also off the mark if you consider the way the locals are rallying there at the moment on the back of the hospital closure and impending shift of council's administration.

Thought it was a well-presented opinion but to label it "a load of shit" is a bit rough.

Credit to the response though but without knowing exactly what's going on at every other club, it's hard to be right on all facets of each one.

Didn't see it laid out as a side, but I don't think that matters. You could always debate 3 or 4 guys but I think that whoever the selector/s are did a pretty fair job.

Only comment I have is that going on the photo there are 20 players with 2 absent which obviously equals 22. We only play with 21 so I think there has been 1 too many players picked.

But great idea to have an official version of the team!

Can we see it? Is it available anywhere other than in the Proddy this week?
Yeah, I didn't publish it in field layout, just the photo, but here's the field layout:

Forwards
Jason McPharlin (B) Brendon Nicklaus (V) Matt Birchmore (U)

Half Forwards
Joel Montgomerie (M) Steven Pollock (V) Nigel Osborn (M)

Centres
Brad Robertson (V) Ned Seccafien (TW) Brad Hardie (M)

Half backs
Anthony Seccafien (V) Andrew Hardiman (TW) Josh Gould (HWE)

Backs
Anthony Pontt (TW) Adrian Mark (V) Dylan Cicolella (HWE)

First ruck:

Will Farrelly (M)
Ben Russell (V)
Jordan Clements (M)

Exactly the attitude I was alluding to. Thanks.
Well, you come in peddling your ignorance when you actually know very little about the situation, you can not expect anyone to take you seriously.
It's not about being scared of change. If it was another country club with its netball already in tow looking to join, I strongly doubt you would find much opposition at all. The fact there is a LOT of uncertainty about that happening, especially from the netball point of view, is a major barrier.

There are several other reasons too but it's rather apparent you'd take them into the BLG no questions asked, so I'll leave it there.

Re: Re: Points System Is Crucifying Country Footy

Instead of finding ways (which is quite easy to do) in beating the salary cap rules. Why didn't the leagues and clubs simply vote NO? That would have been the easiest. Just tell the CFB to stick their rules where the sun doesn't shine and run the competitions as the clubs see fit. Simply doesn't make sense to vote yes and then look for ways to break the rules. Would have been easier to be upfront from the start
Or just abide by the rules the MAJORITY of clubs have agreed to & probably won't be affected by. Seems to me any clubs against the salary cap are the ones who spend a sh!tload of money on players.
Or they don't like to be dictated too by a body that has an agenda that has nothing to do with equalisation !

I don't think there's anything wrong with having a board, nor challenging a decision you don't think is right. Like I said, a fair majority of the time, they do the business without anyone batting an eyelid. But the second a decision is challenged, you're saying abandon the whole concept? Seems a bit over the top. This is once in however many years a motion to rescind has been lodged, which says to me that by and large, the system works well. And will continue to work well once this process is finished with.

Re: Horse Racing Tips & Discussion

For the first time ever, I had a horse racing dream last night where this horse I'm watching at long odds, (44 dollars on Ubet) wins by about 2 lengths. In my dream I saw it pass the line and the dividends pop up on screen. And I read and remembered the name.

I know the number, I know it runs clockwise, I know the name of it and what it pays when it hits the line.

Doing some research on the horses name, it's a 20 start horse and still hasn't won. So it fits the bill - so far! Now I just need to find out when it's next running! If I miss it, I WILL SPEW.
Well????? What's its phaaarking name????
