2nds SANFL being SANFL

Remove this Banner Ad

I'm not convinced the SANFL umpires cheat because the Crows have a similar free kick differential. I think it is the Umpiring director, who has been in this role for years, and instructs the umpires his interpretation and not the AFL interpretation thinking he knows better. So we train under AFL rules and then play under SANFL rules. In saying that the recent grand final vs Sturt would shoot my theory down in flames as I don't think we got a free forward of center and only 2 after halftime. However, we still have club officials / League directors who have not come to terms with Port earning the 2nd AFL licence and their jealousy effects their judgement and decision making so look for every opportunity to introduce rules negative to Port. How sad it must be to be someone driven by jealousy?
So the crows are also getting screwed over?

The threshold for our players to get a free kick is way different than the other sanfl teams. We breath on one of their players and it's a free and 25 (or two). Sanfl spuds can decapitate our players with impunity.

It's nothing to do with interpretations. It's either unconscious bias or far more likely a league directive from the top. At least in the AFL the umpiring is uniformly incompetent for all clubs.

* this dumb league. The day that the sanfl burns will be a happy day for Port Adelaide.
 

SANFL will adopt the AFL’s ”Stand Rule” for players standing the mark in its competitions, with this rule change among several adjustments ratified by the South Australian Football Commission for the 2022 season.

In 2022, SANFL will also be in unison with other State Leagues in allowing its AFL clubs the discretion to play activated Medical Substitutes in the SANFL.

Previously, players who were activated Medical Substitutes in the AFL were not permitted to play in the SANFL on the same weekend. This will now be permitted, however, AFL clubs must communicate their player’s availability to the opposition club within 60 minutes after the conclusion of the AFL match.


Further to SANFL’s 2022 rule changes, the SA Football Commission has approved adjustments to SANFL’s annual AFL Licence and Regulation review with the Adelaide and Port Adelaide Football Clubs, including:

  • Any delisted AFL player who has not played AFL or State League, or been on an AFL list for the past 12 months (previously 24 months), can be supplementary listed to play SANFL for AFC or PAFC.
  • A player who has served a minimum of 10 years on either Adelaide’s or Port Adelaide’s AFL list can be included on the supplementary (SANFL) List of the AFL club where they served the 10-year period.
  • Increasing the age range of interstate players AFL Clubs can include on their supplementary (SANFL) lists from 19 to 21 years to 19 to 23 years of age.
  • Adelaide and Port Adelaide would have access to Father-Son prospects in their 18th year, for a full season to play in their SANFL team – if they haven’t already played League with their SANFL club. In this instance, the AFL club would pay the player’s SANFL club a $5000 transfer fee.
  • Removal of a transfer fee for Next Generation Academy and Father-Son players in their 18th and 19th year, who are yet to play League Football at their SANFL club, allowing them an opportunity to play and train with their AFL-aligned SANFL club over a four-week period.

Sensible rule changes from the SANFL?

What is this?

They must REALLY need AFL money post Covid.

I held off commenting until I could work out what the catch was - there's bound to be something that doesn't immediately come to mind ;)

"A player who has served a minimum of 10 years on either Adelaide’s or Port Adelaide’s AFL list can be included on the supplementary (SANFL) List of the AFL club where they served the 10-year period." - could we keep Hamish after all...?

Now if they get rid of the last touch out of bounds rule they're really being sensible.

Most ridiculous and confusing rule ever invented.
Even the umps get it wrong half the time, and players often have no idea if it's a free or a throw in.

He'd still have the salary cap restrictions as a supplementary player, which still makes going to any other SANFL club financially better.

Unless we pay him $50k a year to be the AFL runner or some other such rort.

I'm calling this the "Hammer" rule, an amazing coincidence that this rule has been brought in now. It would be great if Hamish could still play for the Maggies.
 
At an absolute minimum the SANFL should get ahead of the AFL and say the stand rule doesn't apply if the player has said to the umpire he is having a shot for goal. The player on the mark can move sideways,, jump up and down and not land on the spot if someone is shooting for goal and obviously can move off the mark when the kicker runs off the line. Its not stopping a player from handballing to a team mate like around the rest of the ground.

The AFL (or the AFL clubs) would have told the SANFL to implement it.
They have no reason to do it otherwise.
 
So how do these two rules work in concert with each other? I'm guessing the first applies to non Port delisted, while Port veterans can slide right onto the supplementary list. Right?
  • Any delisted AFL player who has not played AFL or State League, or been on an AFL list for the past 12 months (previously 24 months), can be supplementary listed to play SANFL for AFC or PAFC.

Baby steps, but an improvement nonetheless.

The first one is the rule; the bottom one, the exception.


Which means the AFL are not getting rid of that god forsaken Stand Rule

The SANFL adopting the Stand Rule wasn’t a good move. I think that’s part of the trade-off. We can improve our list, while they have a new way to screw us over.
 
Stand rule is worse than Ken.
Spot on. Stand rule is ridiculous, by the end of the year people were moving all over the place on the mark. It was also making zero difference to the play. The stupidest s**t is the standing on the mark when someone is shooting for goal. It's just flat out ridiculous having someone just run around you.
 
So the SANFL website has an article listing all the B&F results.

Our B&F= Hayes ; Cow’s= Strachan

Hayes has the potential to be the best ruck in the AFL. Strachan has the potential to be the best ruck in his family….if his little sister gets polio.

But the funniest thing was Genelg’s B&F was a tie between Luke Partington and Snook (which I assume is a fish Luke caught off the jetty). Those two were followed by the “runner up”. He is not a runner up you sachet wearing deadshits- he came third. Either this is case of every dickhead gets a prize or you stupid squealing arsewipes can’t count to three. Which is it?
 
Are there cases of throw-in in SANFL footy?

A kick or handball that goes out is a free kick to the other team, a spoil, deflection, running over, or being tackled over is a throw-in.
