SAWFL - Dogs & Panthers shafted

Postby dogbreath » Thu Dec 01, 2016 9:10 pm

Not that I give a rats toss bag about Central missing out.

But doesn't it seem a tad suspicious that the clubs that had their womens team application rejected were the two clubs (Central & South) that voted against the AFL reserves teams entering the SANFL.
Surely the Northern & Southern suburbs are two huge potential growth areas for a fledgling womens comp.

Payback ?????

Conspiracy theory - but maybe on the ball!

You surely need a team out south and north if it is going to work?

In a separate competition.....


Given clubs are struggling to make ends meet it could be a blessing not having to worry about stretching football department budgets further.

Even I wouldn't read too much into it, I'm sure there's several reasons before jumping on a conspiracy bandwagon.

Let's hear what those reasons are then. Why hasn't the SANFL disclosed them ?

Ask your club. And then maybe get back to us.

Maybe they weren't ready which would be fair enough with the limited time span and will be ready for the comp the year after.

It's awful that South and Centrals have been shafted from the SAWFL.

From what I understand it was a tender process, I don't think the SANFL is compelled to publically disclose why they chose one club over another and it would probably be pretty poor form if they chose to.

You could mount an argument that Centrals and South are geographically in a strong position to be considered as critical members of the comp but that maybe wasn't the defining criteria for selection. Equally you could argue that North, Norwood, Glenelg and West have all 4 points of the compass pretty much covered too.

We all love a conspiracy theory but I don't think this is one of them.

Why would they really want be involved. As it is they have reduced salary caps.. Let alone having to find and fund resources which would further distract from the real deal..

This whole thing still makes no sense to me. There is already a WFL in SA at the moment, the SANFL should be integrating with that rather than starting another one from scratch.

Like others, I doubt there's a conspiracy re: South and Centrals. However, I think MatteeG makes a good point, given the Bays current precarious finances.

Apologies for what might be the bleedin' obvious, but what's this project expected to cost each club all up? I understand the Essayeneffell are putting 10K in for each club, and I assume it costs more than that to run this comp, so does that means the balance is paid out by the individual clubs, or is the AFL coming in to apply more funds?

As MatteeG says, surely the Bays have better things to do with their money than fund this experiment, like staying alive. I can only presume that the Bays wouldn't have put their hand up if it would put them further in the red, and thus there would have to be some financial assistance offered by someone to bankroll their participation and justify their nomination.

Considering the massive amount of youth unemployment in the North and South you would think the SANFL brains trust would have teams in the regions. (Running a great female youth program for participation)

I'm all for the conspiracy theory - we (and the doggies) got shafted big time.
Is out of change.....thanks Cambridge Clarrie!!!

No conspiracy there Reddeer, instructed to play bruise free football as they didn't want any injuries going into pre-season once their AFL side was done, i say no conspiracy as it was obvious , their intent against South & Centrals when their AFL team was still going and their intent against Sturt were poles apart.

So each club gets 10k ..... yep that will help ..... just to let people know the women's side at my local club, its end off year running costs were 45k ...... and that was with 9 players drafted to the Crows ...... the standard without those "Quality" players drops a hell off a lot .... so don't get to excited people it will be like watching a good local U/16's game .....
