SANFL 2020 Season

lol Doc , you keep giving

Josh Patullo out for Sturt.

Sounds like he was driven by the $$$to play. Disappointing.

Easy to see the players being recruited for money and dont fulfill. Did they have work beforehand ? Patullo played a year in the SANFL so its not money orientated. Some clubs love throwing money out to blokes . I guess if they dont fulfill now it says something hey.
If one club cant afford to its South. Why does this club not learn ? Year after year and they wonder why no success. The oldest club in the competition with no culture. Sad I think. I bet 2 pounds Rose was there for only that.

Hope Doc kept the tension off the line ...

Final 5 I reckon, an extra weekend of footy when fans are likely to be allowed in, SANFL/SMA will need every game they can get to repair the damage this has all caused.

Pretty sure it is going to be Final 4, only three weeks of finals in the rough program done.

Has to be to allow the GF to be played the week before the AFL GF

May not be a requirement this year. Especially with WAFL season not kicking off until August.

You’d assume their GF will be after the AFLs.

How handy would footy park/two ovals to access be right now

SANFL SEASON TO START SATURDAY JUNE 27

SANFL has today announced that the 2020 SANFL Statewide Super League season will start on Saturday, June 27.

The first two rounds of the 14-minor round season will be played at Adelaide Oval, without spectators and under strict protocols within the State Government’s COVID-19 Step 2 easing of restrictions roadmap.

A decision on venues for future home and away matches will be determined closer to the season start date.

Rounds one and two will be double-headers played on Saturday and Sunday.

A three-week finals series between the top four will commence on the weekend of October 3-4, with the Grand Final to be held on the weekend of October 17-18.

Further details of the fixture will be released by mid-June.

SANFL Reserves and Under 18s Torrens University Cup competitions also will commence matches from June 27 at SANFL grounds, with the SANFL Statewide Super Women’s League resuming its season that weekend.

The Women’s League will play the six remaining home and away rounds, with a Grand Final scheduled for the weekend of August 22-23.

Under State Government Step 2 restrictions, up to 80 people – including players, umpires, coaches, medical staff and trainers – will be permitted on the ground, including matches at Adelaide Oval.

SANFL will continue discussions with SA Health about future easing of restrictions to allow additional people into grounds when the time is right.

SANFL Chief Executive Officer Jake Parkinson said today’s announcement was a significant step forward for the entire football community in South Australia.

“This is a great opportunity to showcase SANFL footy and reward South Australians and our passionate supporters for doing the right thing for the health and safety of everyone in our community.

“We are so proud to have the best State League competition in the nation kick off in four weeks, earlier than any other State, and at our iconic and world-class Adelaide Oval.”

SANFL and community football players returned to non-contact training last week and from next Monday, June 1, have State Government approval to resume contact training in groups of up to 20, with a maximum of 80 on an oval, under strict hygiene protocols.

“Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen our SANFL Clubs and many community football clubs and their passionate volunteers rise to the challenge of undertaking a safe return to training under strict guidelines and protocols,” Mr Parkinson said.

“This has achieved significant trust and respect from the Marshall Government and SA Health.

“Together with our clubs, we can feel very confident that if we all follow the protocols associated with a return to contact training and competition, that we will be providing the best possible environment for our players, coaches, support staff, umpires and wider football community.”

Mr Parkinson said SANFL was hopeful that further Government relaxing of restrictions would see spectators at games this season but accepted that in a rapidly-changing COVID-19 society it must be agile and flexible to get a season underway.

“There is no doubt that spectators make a huge contribution to the success of SANFL and all football matches, through the great social connection and financial support they provide on match days,” he said.

“However, we understand this is a unique environment we are in, so our road back to competition and recovery needs to happen cautiously and safely.”

Channel Seven is committed to broadcasting 14 minor round matches plus all finals. All non-broadcast matches, including Reserves, Women’s League and Under 18s, to be available live and an on-demand on SANFL Digital Pass with all proceeds going back to SANFL Clubs.

It would be good to see crowds back quickly. Glenelg fans miss out on the flag being raised at home otherwise and after a long wait they should be able to.I think that might be too much to ask.

[holden78]

No f......g crowds, why the duck not?
Pathetic as usual

[holden78]

Hey pinheads, heard of a little comp called Bundesliga? They are two weeks in already......
Games without members/ fans is proof the tree hugging bedwetters are in charge as if there was any doubt

[southernbulldog]

Be interesting to see what they do with the draw.
Either replicate what wouldve been Round 1 and change West & South to play each other
or start from the round thqt would be the 27th June and tack on the earlier rounds at the end ,

They can raise the flag next year, when they also raise this year's flag.

Confident.

It is not ideal though as that Bandwagon would have been very full . Imagine though if they did win it this year and didnt do the flag this year. That would be huge .
