Daniel kulikowski

Best name for a footballer EVER. We should have drafted him on that alone.

 

[Steve Dore]

Slattery, Summerton sign on

HENRY Slattery and Steven Summerton will play for Port Adelaide in the SANFL in 2014. ......

Steve Summerton appears to have had a massive change of heart.

Offered the token Magpies Rookie listed AFL squad role for 2015??

Clearing the way for Mattner and Schofield.

Clearing the way for the SANFL to get rid of the academy side ?
3 coaches gone already .

Right... There were talks of that. What is the difference between PAFC's Academy and SANFL clubs' Reserve squads?

That's their 2nds team but our 3rds because we have an AFL side and the other SANFL clubs don't.

I'm aware of that, but would the difference be merely roster size? If so, why would we need to close the Academy?

If our SANFL side has too many AFL listed players 1-3 AFL listed players max (if our list doesn't have injuries) can play in the Academy.

We also have 15 SANFL listed players as well as about 30 Academy players that can all play in the Academy.

I'd imagine the other SANFL clubs don't like Port Adelaide and want to kill us off.

Their rumoured demands over the last few years include no zones or junior sides, no Academy side, no home ground for our SANFL games and no prison bars as well as capping our AFL listed players in SANFL games.

Those rumors cannot be all serious...

Well they got their way with the no zones, junior sides and capping our side in finals. (Apologies for going off topic).

What do you mean by "junior sides?"

I'm sorry for going off-topic, too. Just trying to understand those issues.

Under 18s, U16s etc

Time to look at joining the VFL and leave the SNAFL

We'll stay in the SANFL until there is an AFL reserves comp.

 

[GremioPower]

Under 18s, U16s etc

OK. It is what I expect it to be. So, are there no SANFL junior competitions, or is Port simply excluded from them?

Port has been excluded from

 

[GremioPower]

Fantastic! I thought that only we the Gauchos (people from South Rio Grande state) were able to such a display of stupidity.

Let me put it differently. Imagine there is a situation with three options:

a) In option A, you get THREE, but your neighbor gets FOUR;
b) In option B, you get TWO, but your neighbor gets TWO too;
c) In option C, you get ONE, but your neighbor gets ZERO.

Well, people around here seem to act as if option C were the best, and A, the worst.

In the not too distant future, I bet the reserves level will be removed from the SANFL.

 

[DaTBird187]

When they realise they are already reserves level?

 

[GremioPower]

I may be wrong, but doesn't SANFL participation involve our full list - including rookies and Cat 'B' players?
In 2017 we had access to 45 in all that could have played SANFL, and in a couple of cases we got permission for Ladhams, Irra and (maybe) Hewett to play in the Academy side.

If there is no Academy side next year, how would this affectt the Magpies' roster?

Where I was once against there not being a Maggie's team in the sanfl I am now in favour of it, an AFL reserves comp can't come quick enough, and won't it be interesting to see how far Wicker ball would fall without its biggest draw card.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

No academy side means you don't offer Chen and others from China an international scholarship as there is nobody for him to train and play with, if we don't put a side into the Adelaide footy league or somewhere else.

If no SANFL, there are other options. Is that it?

AFL reserves would mean the end of the Port Adelaide Magpies, wouldn't it?
