SANFL 2025

[Dogs64]

Maybe Bell, Watkins or Liddy to come?

[goddy11]

Poor South losing a player.

[Dogs64]

Noah Howes from South to Collingwood (random).Port the pricks take Liddy.

[whufc]

Liddy to port done!!!

[Dogs64]

No Watkins or Jezza, not a good advertisement for Port's development of "magpies" players.

I thought Watkins might be the best of the SA players. Obviously, the clubs didn't rate him, including Port.

Central should try to recruit Watkins, obviously Port don't rate him. Though with the extra $70k the sanfl gifted port/crows it makes it hard.

Dogs and Bays the two of the Top 5 hit hard. Dogs lose one this years very best mids whilst Bays lose two tall defenders.

Eagles and Sturt the winners tonight.

This whole process doesn't make it easy to enjoy being a fan of an SANFL Club.

Agree but sadly you just have to watch the players reaction to Mani being drafted to see where the SANFL sits

It’s what the players want

I think all are happy for the player. But a mid season draft is complete BS. The players should get a minimum 18 month contract. It also would have been more tolerable in the pre reserves teams environment. At least then they'd still potentially be playing for you (if drafted by port or crows), and at a minimum not for a team you're competing against.

[am Bays]

Ahh well, any delisted player this year or AFL hopeful come okay for us we’re happy for you to progress up or back to the next level.

Some will go, some will stay. Ossie was huge in last years GF.

Which is fine, it’s natural they should aspire to play at the top level and get what, maybe an instant 1000% pay rise?

But by the same token, the members contribute a significant amount of a clubs revenue, and if the product they are providing continually gets watered down and compromised at what point does that membership lose its lustre and value. What then?

Players can choose to have a minimum 18 month contract as part of their drafting conditions

[Hazydog]

And potentially reduce their attraction/convenience to some of the AFL clubs. I’ll assume that info won’t be made public or reported on.

What info? There is a list of who nominated and the length of contract they nominated

[Hazydog]

Ok - fair enough.. didn’t realise that

Yes...it makes you wonder why we bother to go each week.

[Dutchy]

Have to be a record haul from the SANFL since the MSD came in?

It was brought in to fix immediate needs of AFL lists, now its just an opportunity to grab talent prior to the next draft.

SSP period was less than 100 days ago, none of these players were considered good enough for AFL lists then but are now?

He would be handy but as you mentioned, we wouldn't have the same cash to offer.
Any chance we could recruit someone else.

Correct.
Very disappointing. Essendon for example has no defenders due to injuries and they don’t even take one in the MSD instead preferring to bolster other areas as it’s basically a free hit where they can play them in the VFL and get a look at them for next year
