SA Footy

If i wanted to hear about Nathan Bock's discretion and how Andrew Symonds is going in his rehab, i will listen to 5AA or SEN. I expect to hear about our competition and a reasonable review for each game. Read the Footy Budget review to us if you don't have anything insightful to say.

End of Rant.

Yeah, I was wondering whether they'd moved the SAAFL show to 8am for a sec there.

Even better was the well planned attack on the Executive by the Executive in the Jumper clash interview - Sorry, but someones position on the Executive simply CANNOT be abused by allowing his own clubs personal agendas be aired on the radio or any other media outlet.

Simple as that.

it was very poor. i just flicked on before the interview started.
is maddern on executive or just the media guy now??
it was a member club that put up the proposed rule change mid last year if i remember correctly, it was then put on the table around august and voted on recently. it's been coming for a fair while, so it wasn't a shadiac decision from where i stand.
the vote result was not close on the night as was inferred in the interview.
i still did not understand why the guy from uni felt that it was a change the saafl wanted as it served there purposes? maybe i'm not up to speed with all the dealings on this one.

Peter Maddern is on the Executive Committee.

Your overall summary is pretty much correct Sprint but unfortunatly it seems Uni have taken a "the whole worlds plotting against us" attitude on this one. While I see their argument against the change cost-wise in terms of purchase of new jumpers (nb: from what I can gather they would only need to buy 3 sets which would be no more than any other club but Im happy to be stand corrected), I fail to understand why they think Uni will be less of a tradional club by wearing an away strip once or twice a year .

PNU, whilst a merged club still have a 108 year history with NU starting in 1901 and Payneham in 1902 (or the other way around), however, the players took it upon themselves to design an away strip, using the colours of BOTH clubs and pitched it to the committee.

What is going on here?. Uni not getting what they want!. I know we had a comp last season to design a away jumper for us to wear and this week will be our first game in it. Mostly white jumper with a kangaroo across the front in blue. Was a very good opportunity to bring a new sponsor on board by offering them to sponsor our away jumper. Move with the times i say.

I think that's the issue, there's no transparency in what is motivating the SAAFL to do the things they're doing.

I also see that point. 20-30 years ago there was no such thing... and the jumpers were alot more similar to each other than they are now, none of these fancy designs. It was also muddier...alot muddier, yet teammates could still tell each other apart from the opposition.

Rott, I think the point that others are trying to make is that it wasn't an evil invention of the SAAFL, it was a request to change the rule from several clubs that went to a vote and was passed.

I agree with you Rotter and Uni. You guys been there all that time and should have jumper. Just the way it goes. We merged with Sema4Centrals and Exeter but lost our rights to the jumper but Uni should have there jumper

Some jumper clashes are just stupid. I read the handbook yesterday and aparantly we (black and white) clash with Adelaide Lutheran (blue, red and white), but they don't clash with Rosewater (who are also blue, red and white). We also clash with Kenilworth aparantly (blue, brown and white). Figure that out.

And why are Uni so much better than everyone else that they shouldn't have to wear clash strips? We've been around for over 125 years and we still had to wear the SAAFL's baby blue gear last year against Kilburn, and the year before against North Haven. Stiff shit.

I refuse to listen to that sh!t & never will again while those moorons are in charge, i heard enough of it last year & as far as i'm concerned they arn't doing our Amateur League any good.
Embarrassing actually.

Well you win, if you've been in the SAAFL for 125 years you shouldn't have to wear a clash strip. I was under the impression Uni were the oldest SAAFL club.

Mate, where did I say we'd been a part of the SAAFL for over 125 years? I said the club itself has been around that long. We have more tradition than almost every other metropolitan club still going today, even if it was in other competitions. My apologies for thinking the amateur league was the only worthy league that has been around over the last century.

My point was that the old rule was stupid, and so is Uni's argument. What makes them better than everyone else? Every other club has just as much right as them to wear their normal gurnseys at home 'clash' games, believe it or not Uni aren't the only club that pays their calls.

Where has anyone suggested the argument is based on who's better than another. If you have an inferiority complex that's your issue.
