SA Footy

I recently purchased the latest edition of the Inside Football and here are some of the player movements it mentioned.

2006 Adelaide Rookie and West Adelaide Player Andrew Bonaddio has gone to Port Melbourne.

Northern Bullants are resigned to loosing ruckman Michael Hooper to the SANFL.

Coborg Tigers James Rimmington is off to the SANFL and teammate Rob Young is also looking at a move interstate, keen to be a number one ruckman.

Adam Lange is staying with Swan Districts

Former Adelaide Rookie and North Adelaide player Ryan Nye has moved to Peel Thunder.

Some of you guys may already know some of this but I thought I put as a topic anyway.

Michael Hooper is going to West Adelaide

At westies we could use a couple of ruckman,,, point him our way

I would say that Inside Football has the poorest SANFL coverage in terms of accuracy, its full of basic mistakes each week and they might as well not bother printing anything about it.

Have to agree, "Inside Football" rots your brain. Dont waste your money.

I gave up on Inside Football in 1994!

Serious question, do you think there would be the demand for it if we started up a SA Footy newspaper similar to what was around in the mid 90s with articiles about the 2 Adelaide AFL teams + SANFL and amateur stuff?
We'd have plenty of amateur journos and photographers to draw upon, does anyone have any expertise in this area?

ECKY is my choice.

I'd be happy to contribute - I could do Riverland/Mallee reports.
Maybe even contribute columns.

Wedgy - maybe don't make it a newspaper - very expensive and costly to set up. Instead, how about an email newsletter type thing. Less prohibitive to set-up and more attractive to a major sponsor - which of course would make life easier.

However, the whole thing would take time, a whole lot of patience and time, and maybe patience and a whole lot of spendin money to do it right.

Anyway - let me know your thoughts. I'm keen to contribute.

I could do Pies games and maybe AFL wrapup as well.

Would definately have enough contributors, just getting it together and happening is the main thing.

I never considered it but I like Dogwatchers idea of setting up an email newsletter, we could make it free of charge but perhaps get some more sponsors on board and either reimburse contributors or look at a charity of some sort. Keep the ideas coming, definately something to think about.

I like the idea of a magazine, maybe 'pocket size' instead of newspaper size. Obviously it would take a huge effort to get it running and it wouldnt have the demand but its something that would be great if it one day came to fruition.

I was involved in a AFL e-newsletter once which involved reviews, previews, best bets and the like.

What could we have in the SANFL e-newsletter?

- Reviews of each match, about 300-400 words each.
- Previews of the next round, around 200-300 words each.
- Facts n Figures on the next rounds matchups.
- Possible player stats if we can get each club to agree to give us player stats.
- Ladders/goalkickers/best players/possible player stats from all levels of the SANFL
- Player Watch. A player of the week type deal. Could possibly have a Junior POTW as well
- Player of the Year type setup
- Links to articles from the SANFL website/Advertiser/club websites from the previous week

Send it out on a Monday or Tuesday afternoon. Free of course.

Its just a matter of getting it around and drumming up some 'outside' support as in reality we can put most of that up on here anyway if we created web based front page instead of this site just being a forum. Then that is treading on footysa's toes which is a negative.

I dunno...just a few ideas.

Love the idea of a mag devoted to the SANFL but I seriously doubt that it would be financially viable.

IIRC, Ashley Porter pulled the plug on 'Footy Plus' after only two years in the mid-90s because he couldn't break even.

E-Newsletter would be good.

COvering the amatuer and country leagues would create lots of interest.
