The never ending No AFL in the SANFL whinge thread

[whufc]

Lol did Rucci really write that a Crows and Essendon reserves game would get 5k to it.

Where do these blokes get off just making up blatantly exaggerated figures with no basis of fact to give their story more credit.

[whufc]

Is it a good crowd there seemed to be heaps of people in the city heading there

[mighty_tiger_79]

TV shows a avg crowd, perhaps everyone is hiding high undercover

[another grub]

We saw a rigged game today. Cheating umps, sides not trying.

RIP sanfl.

IM OUT. F##k you sanfl

[blues2002]

Sturt were superb today. Got pkenty of help from the umps, but take nothing away from Sturts effort.

[Dogs72]

Imagine how devastated the poor crows fan will be.

They certainly equalized the game. Still well done Sturt.

[another grub]

They need to ban thesd afl sides from playing finals to stopthis farce ever happening again.

The game was clearly rigged and one side didn't try. Great prelim

Freo feeder club, Peel Thunder, running away with WAFL prelim. Up by 54 points early 3rd quarter. Beating South Fremantle, who finished 2nd and 4 games clear of Peel Thunder after minor rounds. Thunder will play Subiaco next week in GF.

This is the same club that basically forfeited its first ever final last year because their AFL overlords decided to rest half of their best 22

What a joke.

Let the sides who actually want to be out there fight for the flag not these afl paracites.

Ravens' and Port's record in SANFL finals when their AFL side is alive- 3 wins (PA v SA, AD v SA, AD v CD), 1 loss (PA v NWD)
Ravens' and Port's record in SANFL finals when their AFL side is idle- 0 wins, 4 losses (PA v NWD, PA v WA, PA v CD, AD v STU)

Small sample size admittedly.

[another grub]

What can we do to get the rules changed?

No afl in the sanfl finals

[LPH]

Wonder if the Bookies will learn from this?

[another grub]

Wonder it they will look into match fixing?

[another grub]

Is there an independant body that could look into the practices of the sanfl/umpires/AFC today?

I for one would like an explination as to what i just witnessed.

[Jim05]

So we are the only State league not to have a parasite in the GF.
The NEAFL was a all AFL affair.
The VFL is a all AFL affair and the WAFL has Freo reserves in the GF

What an absolute f.ng joke !
I watched 30 mins of this farce and could tell the Cows weren't trying and the result was inevitable, so turned the TV off.
The week prior they were going hard, this week they were more interested in Mad Monday.

Integrity, integrity, integrity ....... that's all we want.

Something needs to be done about this. I sense mainstream media are now starting to get that it's wrong. Rucci even seems to be turning.

[Brodlach]

I will preface this with a don't particularly want them in the comp either but....

Win and everyone whinges that made a Grand Final,l ose and they didn't try and were looking forward to Mad Monday.

How about Sturt just outplayed them

No win situation
