Wasn't the jono brown to Bris fs a complete farce?
Sets a precedent for a 2:1 SANFL/VFL ratio. Looking forward to the 18 VFL premierships being recognised.Well I remember the whole 200 games, instead of 100 for VFL. Was it to do with the timing of Russell's career? ie: He played all his games before the so called qualification period.
Wouldnt she be playing b ball?So all SANFL clubs will have a Womens SANFL team from next year. I wonder if Anna Meares wants to have a go at Port. Also, if it is during the regular season, whether Erin Phillips could be our captain as I think she is only rookied to crers for the games around march.
oh yeaWouldnt she be playing b ball?
FiFO??oh yea
7 news says that the Suns won't release Ablett, who will honour the last 2 years of his contract. Of course, like Stephen Rowe, 7 news has never been wrong.....Imagine a midfield of Selwood, Ablett, and Dangerfield....
Scary to say the least.
It was legal, just increasingly unpalatable with subsequent rule amendments:
• His dad, Brian Brown, played 51 games for Fitzroy between 1976 and 1981.
• Fitzroy merge with the Brisbane Bears at the end of 1996, which includes the newly-minted Brisbane Lions receiving all of Fitzroy's eligible father-sons.
• Jonathan Brown, a highly-touted Vic Country key position prospect, is successfully swooned by Leigh Matthews, Gubby Allan and co as a result of just squeaking in on the FS-requirement of 50 games, and he duly commits to the Lions (ND#30, 1999) along with Shane Morrison (ND#44, 1999) whose dad played in the QAFL lol.
• The father-son VFL-AFL games requirement jumped to 100 games not long afterward.
So GAJ requested a trade back to geelong. Captain material. Is it any wonder the Suns have underperformed.
GAJ requesting a trade out after just having signed a 3 year contract.. what is wrong with these players. It's at best indecisive and at worst borderline unethical, i.e. the practice of frontloading contracts and seeking a move towards the back end when the pay comes down ala Bryce Gibbs.7 news says that the Suns won't release Ablett, who will honour the last 2 years of his contract. Of course, like Stephen Rowe, 7 news has never been wrong.....
The SOS affect
391 games for the PAFC is not enough to be eligible for a father-son but 100 games for Collingwood will do it.
As Forzaport posted above, the AFL created farcical father-son rules for non-VFL teams in the AFL so that newly created franchises could father-son players from state leagues even though the fathers never played a single game for the franchise. As a real club with a long history this disadvantaged Ports. The AFL broke their own rules to allow us to father-son Brett Ebert because it was such a bad look but would not allow Brad Ebert to be a father-son selection as Craig only played 112 games for the PAFC.
FWIW Geelong also broke the rules.
Traded out for danger last year, Henderson this year and touhy next. 3 in a row. afl enforcing rules is a myth.
Is there anything that explains what the penalty is? Or will it be made up?Technically they only have to use 2 First Rounders in 4 years, not first rounders in 2 years out of 4. So if they trade in another next year, they're fine. They haven't broken any rules yet.
Now, whether the AFL actually will punish them if they don't get that second first rounder next year? That remains to be seen.
That's not all, story going around is he's told his teammates who are thinking of jumping ship that they should get out now whilst they can.So GAJ requested a trade back to geelong. Captain material. Is it any wonder the Suns have underperformed.
Great stat. Hanley would've played in the GAA too, so you could put him down as having played 'professional football' in 4 countries.
