The never ending No AFL in the SANFL whinge thread

[stan]

Yeh I heard that JK, was a bit surprised also. They totally overlook that the VFL is compromised by numerous salary caps for stand alone clubs, aligned clubs and AFL reserves clubs. At least they acknowledged the farce that it is. There's been a few grumblings in the VFL about starting a break away comp that doesn't include AFL alignments. If Williamstown's appeal doesn't get through I wonder if it will add a bit of fuel to the fire.

Did I read an article correctly that it wasn't only McEvoy that had not played enough games to qualify, it was also Shoemakers as well. I'm sure that's what I read, so if that's the case then good luck to Williamstown with that appeal. I wouldn't be happy if my opponent just brought in a AFL standard Ruckmen and then a Key defender as well that did not qualify. Poor decision from AFL Victoria.

As for the breakaway competition, it all comes down to the umber of clubs that will follow them. But hey it could happen. I guess they would call it something silly like the VFL......

[CUTTERMAN]

I read it as they could choose either Shoenmaker or McEvoy.
"AFL Victoria notified Williamstown and its semi-final opponent Werribee last Friday that if Hawthorn defeated Geelong in its AFL qualifying final that night it would grant the Hawks' VFL affiliate, Box Hill, permission to play either McEvoy or Ryan Schoenmakers in this Sunday's second preliminary final, despite the fact neither Hawk had played the minimum six VFL games required to play finals."

[JK]

Yep I'm on the same opinion mate, think they only applied for McEvoy. As the blokes on SEN have said, Ceglar is actually qualified to play this weekend but the Hawks want some game time into McEvoy.

Most of the time they will ring you back, if they don't want to give you much air time they will ring you just before the news.
It's the same with emails, if it's not concerning their latest "jumper-gate" or "whatever drummed up nonsense we can think of-gate" it won't get read, if however you wanted to say how great the AFL is then that'd be just swell.
I've sent in emails when Rowe has been advocating for SANFL players to be picked up by AFL clubs in a mid season draft suggesting that if he's advocating for SANFL clubs to be totally stuffed around in this way he should resign from his state duties.....didn't get read out. Shortly after an email gets read out that suggests it'd be great for this to happen.
Rucci will take a slasher to any text or email to take it totally out of context so as to not put forward a compelling argument. Wouldn't want anything to upset his latest agenda.

And if a miracle happened to acknowledge the farce the SANFL has become, Dumb & Dumber will use South as their reference for the 6 other SANFL sides and how they should go about it..........
They rattle on about uneven draws and timeslots like it's the end of the world yet we can't have a pure 8 team SANFL comp to follow
Tell me now why the two cancers couldn't have played in our ressie comp?
Norwood v South GF, THAT'S IT.

Come on fella's, fire up. We've crawled through the 110's.

I'll get it going again,

I think it's wonderful that we have Adelaide and Port reserves in our comp.
and I think they both should get wild cards that let them play finals no matter where they finish in the minors.

If it wasn't for them we'd not have a comp at all.

[Dugldo2]

That might get things moving JTC!

Trolls only work when they aren't as obvious.

Spot on Cutterman i have sent numerous e mails to Rucci SAT and SUN mornings re NO AFL IN THE SANFL TO THEY GET and Power reserves DO THEY GET MENTIONED NO you have to tow the pro AFL RESERVISTS line.

Also you to send to ROWEY same thing i do not listen to theses guys any more .

Obviously they have been told to push the PRO AFL policy or they might lose their jobs.

P&*s WEAK !!!!

[Apachebulldog]

oops a few typos get im outta ere !!!!!!!!!!!

[Rising Power]

Ring up and tell them you want to talk about whatever they're talking about at the time then when you get on air talk about what you actually want to talk about. You'll probably get cut off and dumped but it's worth a go.

[LPH]

They have a database of all Phone Numbers previously used to call in.
They know which callers, etc. - they screen who is allowed to talk & for how long.

[CUTTERMAN]

Yep. Darren and Raylene get priority to dribble on, they love discussing the hot topics of the day.
Apologies if Darren or Raylene are on this forum.....maybe.

Fantastic had FOUR BYES when my poor club played against the AFL PARASITES.

Had a great time lost weekends fishing gardening time with family holidaying partying drinking etc etc you name it absloutely beautiful.

So how did it work out for the Crows having all their pretty boys playing with each other and then showering together did they like it ????

I think it really worked well they all learnt how to lose as a team and it sure helped them develop and making the finals !!!! NOT !!!!

Comment Triggy Burtenshaw anyone with any common sense.

[CUTTERMAN]

And Port supporters got the chance to give their delusion muscles a real work out...."We're not a reserves team. We're not a reserves team. We are still the Magpies. We are still the Magpies. We're not a reserves team...."
