West v Adelaide Sat 1410

[DOC]

We (South) benefit by the Eagles not having Lukosius. Centrals loose Hatley and North loose Rozee.

But the point is the bloody game they are pulled out for is for the benefit of the AFL clubs and its recruiters.

West Adelaide statement
"Disappointingly for our members and supporters Izak Rankine will be unavailable for league selection at West Adelaide this week due to SANFL U/18 Talent Development duties. The Club has worked extensively with SANFL management to allow Izak to represent his club this Saturday against the Crows but SANFL policy dictates that he is required to play in the U/18 State team trial against our development side at City Mazda Stadium.

Several other SANFL clubs are faced with the same circumstance and have agreed to release players currently playing league football for this trial game. The Club has indicated that it will pursue changing the existing policy that does not priorities the players concerned or the SANFL League competition over the National U/18 Carnival.

The WAFC is proud of the development and support of current and past players that has resulted in over 68 players being drafted into the AFL system since 1986. "

From what i have seen Izak doesnt need to be playing in a Talent Development side, he like others need to be playing League football for their clubs because a number of them wont be there next year

Yep. It defies belief that players who have already made the league side should have to go back to the U/18s for 'development'. I mean what is he going to do, develop into a league footballer again?

South don't have Irra or Sampson (granted he hasn't played league yet) either.

Misses out on a league game to play an under 18 trial game?
Geezus, just when you thought the SANFL couldn't be anymore ridiculous.
West should be ropeable and I don't blame any fan or official for being furious.

Rozee will be with him.

also its u/18's/16's rules

Our Macca’s Family Friendly round kicks off this Saturday at 11:50am where our reserves will be taking on the state under 18 side in a trial game (not for premiership points). The idea of this game is to help prepare the state under 18’s for the National Championships and hence the AFL National Championship rules will apply. This includes:
4 x 25 minute quarters
50 metre penalty (25 metre in SANFL)
No last possession out of bounds rule
No 3rd up in ruck contest and ruckman must nominate
Each team must have no more than one Ruck to contest any bounce, throw up or boundary throw in
A field umpire shall award a free kick against a player where the player. Who is not a designated Ruck contests a throw up or boundary throw in.
Anti-density rule – as per SANFL Under 16/18s

1/2 time
West 9.7. 61
Adelaide 4.3. 27

To be honest, scoreboard probably flatters the crows. West should be further ahead
