We are officially a sanfl feeder club.

We are officially a sanfl feeder club.

Sure they can take our best SANFL listed players but we take their best Under 18's players that have AFL potential.

And if they don't make it they get them back.

End off the day I look at the SANFL like I used to look at our reserves before we joined the AFL it there for development.

The SANFL is making it harder and harder for us to take the comp seriously.

I guess when everyone stops going then I wonder who's fault it will be.

We are officially a sanfl feeder club.

Only briefly as the SANFL hadn't quite locked down our recruiting when we set up as the reserves for 2014 so we grabbed some good quality top-up guys of the type we can't access now. When they are all gone it will only be Academy guys and that's as much of a lucky dip as any recruitment from the SAAFL (or a similar league).

 

[RossFC]

The loss of good SANFL listed players would be covered by the AFL salary cap growing at a fast pace while the SANFL salary cap stays the same/shrinks.

Well effectively no-one goes now and hasn't for a long time. It's not the PAFC pre-1997, as you say it's the reserves. But at least we're watchable now, for 10+ years prior to 2014 we were horrible.

2-4000 people go watch the kids play. Which is more than most of the SANFL teams average crowds.

A little optimistic.
I don't disagree enough to draw swords but take out clashes with Norwood (who per 2015 SANFL season are clearly the crowd-pullers) and it's more 1,500 to 2,500.

Being a development team it gives us a reason to go.

Yeah I think so but I can't convince a single Port fan I know to attend who didn't already go to the SANFL games.

Per Finding their way in SA: Ex-AFL players joining the SANFL in 2016 Mitch Harvey returns to North Adelaide while Jarrad Redden goes to Woodville/West Torrens. Sigh! Watch both turn into superheroes.

Particularly Jarred Redden. Does an SANFL club have the medical/fitness regime to get him fully fit? If so he could tear the league apart.

The psychological boost of being a big fish in small pond should help. And IMO he is our most likely delisting since Matthew Bode to recover from injury and play AFL again.

We didn't delist Matthew Bode. He was traded to the crows for pick 12 (Shaun Burgoyne) in 2000.

 

[Schulzenfest]

A fit Redden is AFL quality, no doubt about it. If he plays 20ish SANFL games at a reasonable quality this year I'd be more than happy to have him back.

 

[AJJPAFC]

Completely off topic but not worth its own thread- has anyone received there mAgpies membership packs yet? Got the power one a few weeks back.

Thanks.

I'm out of the loop RE Maggies list.. Has the squad been finalised or are we still looking for SANFL players?

7 more to go.

7 more to go.

Do we have any idea who they are looking at?

In the past we've had hopefuls training with us for the last few spots.. I'm under the impression we don't have this luxury this time around.

Biemans is unsigned but has been training at the club.

Not sure about other unsigned players such as Davidson, Hawkins, Hollingworth-Hughes and Wilson.

I assume the rest of the spots will be filled by Academy players and perhaps a few SAAFL/Country players.

Saw this photo on facebook of the Maggies boys.

Summo, Samuel Roads, Tom Corcoran, Sam Tylor, Jack Cooper, Ryan Foster, Sean Davidson, Anton Vassallo, Jack Foster and Darcy Ginever are some that were tagged.

Possible upgrades from the Academy side? Also Davidson probably will re-sign.

So who is this 7ft basketballer that was mentioned to be training with the Magpies at the AGM last night & are there any other potentials?

The Pre-Season Magpie news has been very quiet this year

Cool. I saw Darcy play a pretty dominant game as a defender in a U16 GF a couple of years back. Will be a bit special if/when he plays for the Maggies' senior team.

Anyone know what has happen to Ben Beioley?? He isnt listed as an academy player or contracted player. See http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/football/players-and-coaches/academy-players

In 2013 for the U/16's + U/18's + state team U/16's he kicked over 100 goals. See
http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/ben-beioley.1040382/

In 2014 he kicked 41 for the U/18 and won the leading goal kicker but didnt play a full season and he was only 17. He turned 19 a couple of weeks ago on 17th January.
