Salopek wants transfer

[bays2011]

Pleased for Salopek to have escaped from glenelg. How stupid it is that Port have to pay to get their own player away, the sooner both Port and the crows have their own 2nd teams the better.

I agree with Mark Beswick and find it hard to believe that SANFL supporters could suggest that the Salopek issue is a justification for resrves sides in the SANFL.

If the 2 AFL clubs have reserves sides it will be the beginning of the end for our comp. It will essentially mean that 2 games per round (those involving the AFL reserves sides) will be trial games. Only one side interested in winning. The competition becomes a farce.

Yep, then we can piss them both off to the VFL

Wont mean that at all, no way will they be allowed to play in the SANFL, let them fly to Melbourne every second week

Westies have a player at the crows (no name in case he doesnt want it public) who got permission from the crows to assist with our juniors each week. This player wasnt a WAFC junior. Seems many of the mini-drafted players get along very well with their host club.

If you are referring to the recently re-signed star of the Crows he has had his coaching position at West Adelaide reported in the media earlier in the season.


Most AFL players enjoy their time at their SANFL clubs. Josh Jenkins even slagged the VFL for their lack of atmosphere so he certainly likes the SANFL

As reported in the Advertiser a few weeks back, Shaun McKernan goes to South training and supports his teammates even when he does not need too. (selected in the Crows) I respect any AFL player that does that.

Was that in the 'Tiser or FOOT-e TIMES SA?

Assurances were made that this one club crap is purely admin related to save costs. We were told there would be no on field advantage - more lies. At least I can revert to disliking them again, I can't believe I was starting to feel sympathetic to their plight.

Whatever the transfer fee is its not going to be looked at favourably by any club members.

Port Magpies members will be able to vent their spleen about paying a transfer fee for Salopek at the Board or at their next AGM.

So essentially Port have had to pay money to have a player move to their own club. I love it!

I had not thought about that it way. It's a very good point you make.

Another point brought up on the weekend at the crows game by a mate. Port Adelaide now funds its own U16 & U18 junior programme.

Is there another club in the afl that has its own juniors. I Thought the rule was afl clubs weren't allowed to have any contact with potential draftees ie Nathan Buckley.

Better get in touch with the VFL then so they can start shutting their doors as they have heaps of reserve sides

You haven't noticed the tiny crowds at vfl games?

Yeah, the VFL still exists. In the same way as a person in a permanent coma can be said to still be existing.

The other issue not raised is that of club volunteers - Imagine how much harder it will be to get doctors, runners, trainers, physios.... to SANFL clubs (and its very hard now) if we have two AFL reserves sides. Much easier to get volunteers for glamour sides and those volunteers would see it as a way into the afl sides....

Oh no, does this mean no more man cuddles from out North?

Sal lining up for the Maggies in Foxtel Cup this Saturday. Beautiful.

Hope Gary Metcalf never borrows my car. He'll charge me a Transfer Fee if I want to lend it to my sister.

Not sure our Prez wants to borrow your 1985 TG Gemini.

Your analogy is wrong. You choose to ignore the main point. Salopek is not a (was not) a Port Magpies player, he was aligned to Glenelg.
Port Magpies via their affiliation with the Power are not supposed to gain any on field advantage over the other SANFL teams. Clearly this is not the case (more lies). Port Magpies are not supposed to have any greater claim on a Port Power listed player (other than Magpie "originals") than any other SANFL team -this is meant to be a level playing field. Glenelg did not "borrow" Salopek from the Magpies, of course a transfer fee should be due. Sounds like some Magpie supporters are expecting more "freebies". So from your analogy not only can the Magpies snipe any "disgruntled" Power player they like from an SANFL club, but also they shouldn't be expected to pay a transfer fee?
If Gary Metcalf and yourself worked for the same employer and you all had a car each, fairly allocated, sounds like you'd expect him to give you his car for free (even if it had been unreliable recently) and you'd probably expect all the other employees cars and them to pay for your petrol.
To your first statement, it's probably not so much about "man cuddles". I was asked by a Power employee if he gave me some free tickets would (could) I take my family to a Power game? He was doing the right thing trying to gain support for the Power in the AFl, and increase crowd numbers.
Now I hope they get flogged in the Foxtel Cup. I'm not a fan of liars.

If he was aligned to Port & then transferred to another club, a fee would still have to be paid. So what's the biggie in this case?

[CENTURION]

Another reason why all players that get drafted should completely sever all ties to their SANFL club.

Hope Glenelg wait until the cheque clears before they sign the paperwork!

Serious question to Port fans, will Bamford be allowed to drop him to Reserves if he wants to?

Port power are the owner of the above mentioned car (salopek), glenelg were borrowing that car, they didn't look after the car and the owner of the business has asked for it back to give it to someone who they think will appreciate it and look after it.

So tell me again what right do glenelg have to that car.

Obviously Glenelg think Salopek will have the opposite effect, or at least they thought he would on them....

He'd have to take it down off the cinderblocks first.
