Quickest Player & Longest Kick

[Tiger Couple]

Was at Noarlunga today to have a look at South v Eagles game and heard about the promotion and the Competition at Half Time for the Quickest Player and Longest Kick in the SFL and GSFL.

A guy from Reynella took out the Quickest Player in a very close thing and a guy from Edwardstown backed up from the run to win the Longest Kick.

The disappointing part was that only 5 clubs were represented in the Run and 3 players the Kick. I believe the Clubs were Reynella (both), OSB/Lonsdale (both), Edwardstown (same guy in both), Happy Valley I think and some other guy that didn't have a club shirt on.

I thought this was pretty poor for those clubs that struggle it was a good chance for some free advertising and let people know your clubs exists.

I can only assume the Clubs were not interested or maybe the publicity was better than the notice to the clubs.

I think you will find it may be lack of notice or no information to clubs

[the big bang]

yep, never heard of it, otherwise i would have liked to have a crack at the kick!

From what I hear last year was a joke. Flat footy and 1 kick against the breeze and the sprint was a break without calling it back. After that I'm sure noone would want to waste their time

I wouldnt be a chance in either of them but i dont think many people would be in the best shape to be sprinting on Monday. Firstly, if they played out their game on saturday they would still be a little sore. And since it was a public holiday im sure a lot of guys got on the drinks saturday AND sunday...

Spot on Vics01.
I received an email from SAFC promoting free tickets were available to SFL clubs, then a mail out was also sent to the club with the same flyer and a form to us to return quoting those players who wanted 2 free tickets and a drinks voucher.
Flagstaff wasn't asked to nominate for the kick-off or race-off events in any of these contacts.
We had players and supporters there on Sunday, but didn't even know the special events were on.
