The job Mickan has done with Douglas, Willetts, Sundquist, Gibbs,
Sellars and others is magnificent, but a WOFTAM.....
Equally well done is the job Pyman has done with Cupido, Archard
and Clarke this year when recruiting yese blokes.
I ask what is the better method....[ask Centrals]

For what its worth, I cant recall a Port Power playing getting pulled before the SANFL finals to have surgery. Numerous Power players have played in SANFL premierships. Evans, Carr, Burgoyne, Fiegert, Guerra, M Stevens, Steinberner, Dew, French, Thurstans.
Logan is/was playing for his AFL future. If he doesnt want an AFL career and would rather play SANFL then he is free to quit our club whenever he wants.
And again I ask the question, do you think Logan and Willits are worth 10 goals to Glenelg?
The SANFL in its current state is a feeder competition. These players are contracted to their AFL clubs. If AFL clubs want to pull them for surgery so they can be fit in time for next pre season then tahts up to them. These are the facts.
There are three solutions.
1) Clubs recruit enough players so that AFL players are seen as a bonus instead of a neccesity - like North this year
2) All AFL players play for the same club which means no SANFL clubs get AFL player access
3) The AFL create its own reserves competition and AFL players never play SANFL again
But, the argument shouldnt be about what players are getting pulled for surgery, its why the rule is that they couldnt play this round but could play in finals. Ridiculous situation.

They had played for Norwood leading up to the finals. The moment the AFL club dropped out of the finals race, the two players were ordered to have minor operations, and they missed the finals for Norwood.
Same thing happened with Mcleod and Port in 1995.
It is silly. If the AFL club is still active then ALL players from that squad can play SANFL finals no matter how many games theyve played. So Mark Riccuito could play for West, Burton for Eagles etc. despite playing zero games during the year. This happened with Modra in 1998 if i remember rightly, didnt play a match for West that year but when dropped from the Crows he could play for Westies in the finals because the Crows were still active.
The SANFL should base their season to finish the same weekend the AFL season finishes. This way that wouldnt happen. For what its worth I dont think Logan and Willits would make 10 goals difference to Glenelg.
The AFL should really get off their arse and organise a proper reserves system. Wouldnt be too hard in reality.

I can think of two players at Glenelg who will get drafted this year. At North, there are three certainties, maybe four or five. Strange how the Bays are the only SANFL club developing young players according to you Mal.

PF the big difference between GL/NA is that North Melbourne supplement
thier list with the cheque book, Glenelg tend to promote from within.

Mal-informed..... North won the U15's,U17's, U19's, Reserves last year- & we're not developing our juniors? This year, we have blooded (at league level) Shane Edwards, Todd Pfeiffer, Andrew McIntyre, Tim Martin, Ricky Ebert & Matt Down. These players have been developed within North's junior ranks (albeit Down was from Norwood as a junior, yet still developed by us), & these players have been allowed to grow into a league role- not thrown to the wolves.
It would appear the only way the NAFC could appease you, would be to play 10 juniors who are not ready, then get flogged every week for 2 years, then start winning games. But guess what has happened in the meantime? We've lost the cream of those juniors to the AFL. We decide to recruit, to replace them- no, not in Mal's book, we'd be buying a Premiership. Much better to get some U17's with undeveloped bodies & throw them to the wolves.
I really don't care what your view of the NAFC is Mal, as the Board is reponsible to it's Members, & not message board forum members, who support other clubs, yet take continued cheap shots at the NAFC for being pro-active in many areas (especially recruiting).
Your time would be better spent questioning your own Board, & asking them why they are recruiting known trouble-makers from another club (Culpitt), & asking them to explain not only the poor results this year, but their whole mis-management of the Clubrooms debacle.

YOU LISTED PLAYERS THAT WERE RECRUITS from interstate but some of those players were in fact picked up from our country zone down in the south east which again is promoting youth.
NEXT YEAR I HOPE WE DONT PLAY ANY 17/18 YR olds who may end up at the AFL i hope we get all the AFL rejects and older VFL players who wont get drafted back into the AFL!!!!!!!!!
SANFL CLUBS should stop promoting juniors - look at westies now.
