Adelaide Plains Football League

[Maybe]

Difference is that it was only 10-15 goals most weeks 2-3 years ago not 25, also a sh#t load less cash getting handed out at the end of the game back then for mediocracy.

I heard a whisper that the Coach - Assistant Coach will not be there next year, and that someone has allready been sounded out
Coach sounds like a nice guy, and maybe thats the problem

Waiting for what unless your the president of the league woofa you dont need to know shit.

[Mythical Creature]

Totally agree with that jumbo. The easiest thing for the league to do would be nothing. Come to think of it that's probably what they will do unfortunately. Its about time they made a stand.

what is going to be the fallout from the Virginia vs Solomontown game/trial/funday on Saturday?

Has the APFL board been ignored after refusing permission?

Had the APFL board even been approached by Virginia to gain permission to hold the trial?

Did the APFL board give approval?

Did the APFL board just say "call it a fun day" and we'll look the other way?

Many questions need answering, the clubs need to find out what has happened, who approved it and why was this OK to go ahead when it has always been disallowed before.

Are we about to see a changing of the guard???

[OnSong]

Honestly, does anyone really care if they played a trial game? How does it affect the other clubs?
You wouldn't think they would have done it if the league didn't give them permission.
I agree, not fair on others who have requested similar trials, but I guess ultimately it opens the door for others to do the same in the future.

Ah Jumbo, you had an unchained melody of correct guesses until then.
But don't be cruel on yourself

It was a hard one for sure - I wasn't confident ... righteous eh? (sp?)

No I doubt anyone cares they had a trial but I don't think that's the point. The Board should because it affects "gate takings".

The Board is supposed to be running this league to set of agreed rules, these rules are not applied consistently. In my opinion the league was rapidly loosing credibility, this is just another step in that direction.

The league does not foster good relations between themselves and clubs with this inconsistent application of the league rules. Now if the rules allow for a trial, that's fine, then I say those that previously disallowed such events need to get off of the board now. If the rules state that trials are not allowed, then action needs to be taken, if the board has allowed it, then I would be expecting resignations, if the club has gone against the board, I understand the rules exist for penalties.

The board needs to get consistent with its applications of the rules and then it will have the full support of all clubs and supporters.

It effects gate takings what a joke Was it a trial no umpires no goal umpires no boundary . Seems like another dig at the Virginia FC. People complained about us not having enough junior sides last year now we have filled all our junior sides. What will these teams come up with next

Board meeting wednesday re "trial match" expected outcome: from now on if any club wants to hold one then a letter of application needs to be submitted. Having said that, i have just had a quick look at the consitution/bylaws and it doenst state that a trial match cant be held. There are other rules regarding holding one but no mention on not, no mention in the fines and penalties part of it either.

Expect a letter of reply to the "article" put in the producer. He has got a lot of people quite angry, he has questioned the integrity of the owners/directors of the major sponsors. They had nothing to do with the day to day goings on of V.F.C and to state that they would stand over the board to sway their findings as really offended them. Remember they are the ones who front up with their own cash, im sure they would be happy keeping it in the own accounts and then where would the Assoc be??? Everyone is entitled to their opinion but to play judge and jury and call out many people in what either do or dont do doesnt seem to be a balanced article.

Typical Virginia, missing the point! You can have a trial game every thursday night for training if you want AKA, i could care less. I'm more interested in the inconsitencies of our APFL board. They wouldn't let Two Wells do such a thing so im just wondering what will become of this situation, as Jumbo has pointed out already. Now that Virginia seem to have alot of presence on the board & also through league sponsorship BTR (VFC major sponsor) & Bendigo Bank ( Based in Virginia), hopefully this doesn't effect any decision made by the league....

I know that the APFL is in a very compromised position, given the two major sponsors of the league happen to be from Virginia. What should happen would be a $1,000 fine at the minimum but I also know the powers to be in the league are all huff and no puff when it comes to Virginian matters and, as usual, they will get off scott free.

I'm not aware of any previous history on this matter but reading the above (extracted from last week's "article") I reckon it was having a crack at the league, not the directors/owners of the major sponsors.
