Geez we’re getting injuries at wrong end of the season.
What'd we have? 1-2 players over 190 cm?
Ain't gonna win s**t with short people.
Ain't gonna win s**t with short people.
Pisses me off that we don't have key position players... but let's play to our ******* strengths... we are shorter YES? So we SHOULD be quicker? Kick it out in front and give the smaller hopefully quicker players at least a chance.

One of the more interesting parts of the game was that after a goal had been kicked the umpires had to wait for the ad break to finish before they bounced the ball. You could tell sometimes that 7 were squeezing in an extra one when the bounce was delayed for a long time. Maybe they showed that AAMI one "OMG Dad, up s*** creek". Would have been appropriate.
They were smaller yes, but they definitely weren't fitter or faster than South.

It's hard to judge how quick we are because we don't run and carry.
We did a few times but gave the ball back straight away and it was promptly put away.

Pathetic situation and epitomises the board's softness with the sanfl situation. We have 16 other AFL teams with better conditions for their reserves.
Agreed but we need to have basic skills and a decent game plan to do that.

Can someone please explain the top rules.
They can rope in KH and all 3 can make their pitch to the ocean of empty seats in the Quinn and Williams coz many have
voted with their feet. Throw in KT and Kochie for nod squad duties to stand behind them while they explain our ugly inefficient footy.
Where manic effort substitutes for a bad coaching.
Today was a predictable result but that didn't make it anymore palatable.
Onwards to Ballarat coz as for Alberton it's been sucked dry. Gameplan, recruiting or our malevolent benefactors the stinking
$anful it all adds up to what it is on game day for the Maggies
From what I remember we cannot pay any top up players more than $400
Any remotely capable sanfl player will get more than that.
As I said earlier I know of one div 5 amateur that gets $400 a game and he doesn’t have to train.

I would give him another year, before considering looking for another coach.
I do, but less than I do for the Power — of course.
Is player sponsorship forbidden? There are 15 SANFL-only players. If there is no rule against it, we could get some companies and people to sponsor them and others from our Academy...
The sanfl wouldn't let you give them a packet of chips over the $400 (while sanfl clubs hand over brown paper bags of pokie cash to ex- magpie players left right and centre)

I probably wouldn't if a mob of wannabes and never was's weren't disgracing the prison bars/wharf pylons jumper!
Big Bob and Fos would be spinning in the urn.

But, would it be possible to effectively control individual sponsorships?
Port would be the link between them, but contracts would be sign between players and sponsors. How could SANFL stop that? Only forbidding players to be sponsored, but that would be a mess.

I heard we cannot get interstate players and only players who have not made the sanfl under 18 squads, have to be under 23 and paid $400. It,s not gospel though!
Recurring theme.
Fewer and fewer do and even more don't any longer.
