Radio is simple ... assume the person is not at the ground and you have to paint the WHOLE picture, who, where, when, how etc. ie their entire understanding of what is happening comes from what you tell them.

TV is harder given the picture tells a lot of that ... what the commentators need to do is ...

Agreed . state league is what we are .... and the best state league is what we should strive to be (not 2nd best comp to the AFL).

I much prefer the Crows (SANFL) being referred to their state league rather than reserves team.

As for Sanfulll ... I also agree but alas one of the highest ranking ...

Just on the zone thing, once a player turns a certain age ... I think 19 ... if they are not on a SANFL club senior list then there is no transfer fee payable to the SANFL club they are zoned to. The transfer is with the suburban / country club he is playing for.

FOOT-e TIMES SA is proud to congratulate the winners of its 2013 SANFL MEDIA POLL.


Readers were asked to vote for their FAN’S FAVOURITE over seven categories.


Most categories received over 700 votes which was up on approx. 400 in it’s inaugural run in 2012.



Favourite SANFL Media ...

And that leads to an interesting question ... do people support a club or a competition?

From my pre-media days I certainly was more concerned about HOW my team played, rather that WHO my team played.

Re NFL -

For starters a lot of the 45 man squad get to play on game day.

Whilst there are only 11 on the field its a separate starting 11 for offences, 11 for defence and a few for special teams (kicker, long snapper, punter).

Then within each unit players come on and off for specific game ...

So are the SANFL crowds up or down this year ???

Find out with the league figures compared with the last 3 years, plus rankings of home game, all game and away game average crowds club by club.

All in the FOOT-e TIMES SANFL CROWD WATCH.

hope we don't have to merge with another thread at the end of '90

For the record

2014 Minor Round (90 games) - 253,187 (2,813 per game)

2013 Minor Round (90 games) - 235,721 (2,619 per game)

From an overall "whole of competition" perspective I don't think you can make the case less people came the SANFL matches last year than 2013.

That said

- 2013 was a very ...

Yeah 19000+ posts averaging over 6 per day, not much of a contribution that.

By my count Big Phil has been involved in the media for 8-9 seasons now so he has hardly left here as soon as paying gigs came up.

Given some of the crap he has had to put up here with over time, especially recently
I am ...

Semi Related - another standalone VFL club on verge of leaving

They had 4 in 2016 - Frankston went broke, if North Ballarat leave that would mean just Port Melbourne & Williamstown left as non AFL aligned.

My suggestion for Port's Grand Final Banner (front side)

And backside

Meanwhile out West ... looks like the WAFL Grand FInal has been moved a week early .... could we say the same about the SANFL this Sunday?

Didn't the SAAFL exist as an Amateur League not affiliated with the SANFL for decades?

Hasn't the SA Amateur Soccer been unaffiliated with FFSA for ages hence why SA has only 2 teams in FFA Cup?

I was involved in Gridiron in Australia back in the 1990s where QLD, NSW, Vic & WA all had 2 seperate ...

Yes I last remember seeing Eric when Central d Port in 1st Semi leaving the SANFL top 3 AFL Free that season.

Refer FOOT-e TIMES Daily from Tuesday & it shows Round 2 Crowds for recent years going back to 2009.

Last weekend's 5 game TOTAL was lower than all of the previous 4 game TOTAL.

There is the possibility of some high drawing games this Easter round and next week with ANZAC Day so hopefully things ...

Well it matters to a few of us, the Life FM crew made it to Melbourne in one piece, the radio gear works at the Oval (great oval by the way)

Now checked in hotel and we have time up our selve to enjoy being a tourist for a few hours.

Every year I have collected crowd figures ... back to 2004, they always start strong and drop as the year progresses. This year is no different.

Comparison this year with last is tricky due to the restructure now 18 rounds v 5 games against 23 rounds v 4 or 4 games in years gone by,

But we still ...
