Rumour File

I think college B Ball ( could be wrong with the sport) ONLY play Saturdays and the main league leave that so people attend. Could the AFL do that ? That would have a very positive impact on football not just AFL. The AFL are losing sigth on their most important part of the house, the foundation.

Thursday night ,Friday night, Saturday night , Sundays and it would all fit. Leave Saturday for State leagues.

Agreed, like NCAA College Football in the US does not have to compete with NFL games on a Saturday, it would be great if state and suburban leagues had a timeslot that was theirs.

Alas AFL broadcasting agreement starting next year has 5 games scheduled for Saturday, 1 around 2.10pm, 1 at 3.20pm, 1 twighlight & 2 night.

However at this point only the night game is guaranteed to be on Free To Air, Foxtel have the rights to onsell the 3.20pm one to a FTA network.

Did I read West sent an Email to ask for clarification on the reserves issue ? Or has that post been deleted ? If so I am sure posters would like to see the SANFL response. ??

West have sent a letter to the SANFL requesting clarification.

I would think it unlikely that west or league would release any correspondance -- suspect league would release low key statement if they are professional.

Personally, biggest issue i had was players sitting around in open when hot and sweaty after a game and not in a position to treat properly injuries or strains.

To me this raises huge duty of care for employee (which players are) under state legislation for the league who by letting it happen in future now they are aware of potential safety issues are directly legally responsible and liable for charges under occy health safety legislation --- interseting

Could there be a mass exodus of senior player at one particular club after tomorrow afternoon's clash?

is that just players or officials as well

The problem is your comment is serious.

Not sure the relevance to the topic but ok, seeing you brought it up, I will play along.

For others needing some background.

What Is Amateur Radio?

Agreed about the future of Amateur Radio , my Dad was very into Amateur Radio, President of WIA in SA during the mid 1970's.  They had a HQ at West Thebarton, a couple of kicks from Thebbe Oval.

I agree with you, the magic of speaking direct with someone overseas via Amateur "Ham" Radio has sort of been lost now with emails, web streams, facetime and skype etc available without the need for equipment or a licence. Learning Morse Code is a bitch as well something I could never master to get a novice licence.  

Very very handy to have in emergency situations however, first news of Cyclone Tracey knocking out Darwin in 1974 was via Amateur Radio.

If he's alluding to some information that he has which he can't fully divulge, I'd rather he allude to it than not mention it at all.

I agree flag 10

A few at my club should be looking over their shoulder.No volunteers included in that.

Any coaches not likely to be at their club next year?
