Training Pre-Season 2024

[FR0GGY]

That would be in top 5-10 most valuable players in comp level

Excellent!

 

[Eddie Murphy]

40 goals more a chance than 20 disposals a game for Rachele at this stage

With Izak looking like a midfield lock and age potentially catching up with Tex we may very well require Rachele to be a 2 goal-a-game mainstay in our forward line if we want to push for finals.

So the different goggles Sloane trialled at training are actually just generic Rugby goggles which first got approved for wear in Rugby matches a few years ago, cost around $200 Australian. Not a bad price considering Mason Cox

said he had to get his specifically made by some optometrist guru out of some specific unbreakable material.

All seems to be a rather pointless old exercise all this but I reckon Sloane would’ve made a very good George Gregan type Scrum-Half back in his prime; getting down and dirty & feeding it out of the break-downs & scrums ect.

I was just thinking if one of our AFL listed players gets a concussion playing SANFL does the new SANFL concussion policy of 21 days stand down apply or the AFL concussion rule apply of 12 days stand down, can't really find the answer anywhere?

Obviously the 21 days would apply for their SANFL games but what about AFL?

That's a good question

I assumed it depends on the club, given AFL have more medicos around to monitor, so doesn't matter which competition they were concussed in.

I heard an interview with a SANFL guy who said the 21 day rule applies to community footy but not SANFL. The logic was that SANFL players have reasonable access to doctors compared to community football clubs.

AFL players, playing in a state league, fall under the AFL protocols .....12 days

 

[WaynesWorld19]

So they can play SANFL after 12 days unlike Norwood, South, WWT players etc who have to stand down for 21 days which in most cases would mean 4 weeks would it not. Doesn't seem right to me.

LOL ...the AFL have said, AFL players receive a better level of concussion treatment, than state league players

I nearly fell of my perch, hearing that drivel

 

[WaynesWorld19]

All SANFL clubs have club Doctors still I would think?

Going to be hell to pay if one of our players can play Finals and a SANFL player can't under this new rule.

It's not like the AFL to look ahead at repercussions of their decisions .....besides, it's a state league, and is a low concern level for the AFL

 

[SellarStardom]

So AFL clubs have a more thorough environment for dealing with concussion according to AFL than the SANFL clubs. They roll out this line after Port's "he was subbed out because of a migraine and the other guy is fine" routine from last year

Seriously!!

Those commenting about the SANFL being 21 days miss this?

Seems Andrew Capel is unaware of this as of March 7?

Numbers don’t add up with new AFL concussion protocols, say SANFL clubs​

The AFL’s new concussion protocols have been questioned by SANFL clubs as Crows, Port are given a leg-up in the local league.



SANFL clubs have expressed concern over the AFL’s game-changing new concussion policy, questioning its fairness in the local league.
While SA’s state league clubs fully understand the need to protect the head and players’ futures, they have questioned the disparity between the AFL’s new 21-day concussion protocol rule for players from the eight stand-alone clubs and 12-day protocol for AFL-listed players from Adelaide and Port Adelaide.
This could prove finals-shaping and premiership-deciding.
The AFL on Wednesday announced its updated 21-day concussion protocol guidelines for all levels of football below AFL and AFLW.
The national league will remain at a minimum of 12 days due to “increased medical practices at that level’’.
Some SANFL clubs have suggested that their league should consider investing in more medical care so that its competition can have the same 12-day concussion protocols as the AFL.
“First and foremost we need to get the point across that the health and welfare of our players is the No. 1 priority,’’ North Adelaide chief executive Craig Burton said.

“So our club doesn’t have an issue with the 21 days if that is going to make players’ lives better after they finish playing footy.

“But the rule with players playing in ‘Tier 2’ competitions like the SANFL, I think we need more discussion on that because it doesn’t seem fair that if a Port Adelaide or Adelaide player gets concussed and they are considered healthy they can come back and play in two weeks and yet a North player gets concussed in the same game and has to wait another week.

“I believe if they are playing in the same competition they should have the same period (sidelined), so we want some clarification in fairness in that particular area.’’

Central District chief executive Greg Edwards backed Burton’s call.

“Our initial thoughts are that we have to protect the player - that is the ultimate goal,’’ Edwards said.

“But if an AFL-listed player is concussed in a SANFL game then he probably should be on the same 21-day protocols as SANFL-listed players unless he is called up to play AFL after the 12 days.

“In that case he should be able to be on the AFL protocol.
South Adelaide chief executive Neill Sharpe said the new concussion rules “created a bit of an anomaly’’.

“Clearly there is a differential, which creates an element of unfairness,’’ Sharpe said.

Norwood chief executive James Fantasia said the SANFL’s “ideal place to get to’’ would be to match the AFL’s 12-day protocols through increased medical expertise.
“We commend and support the initiative and we will always follow the medical direction – player safety must come first – but I would love to think that we could get to a level to match the right medical checklists and clearances for us to have a 12-day concussion protocol plan in our league rather than the 21 days,’’ he said.

Most SANFL clubs were meeting on Thursday to discuss the new protocols.

They will then raise any issues with the league before the SA Football Commission meets to decide whether it will rubberstamp the AFL’s new concussion policy for its competition, with a decision expected as early as Friday.

Typical SANFL sook, a league that does its absolute best to handicap us with unfair rules

Maybe he expends too much energy punching the air after a goal. I’d rather he spend it on gut running.

the punching looked like a forced celebration which when forced consumes your mind and energy. Id rather he do what comes natural than the showman ship stuff.

 

[Ciao Giacomo]

The interview that I heard was with Burton from North Adelaide. He said that their first impression was that the rule change meant 21 days for SANFL players but only 12 days for AFL listed players in the SANFL. He went on to say that this has been clarified and it will be the same for both groups of players.

I never read the Tiser so I don’t know if they are spruiking old news.It would be surprising if they printed something that was not accurate .

thats a dumb argument. you clearly never played football if you dont understand how things can waste your energy and focus from a game. Putting up memes like that says way more about you than it does about me. But you do you I guess.

It can also do the opposite. Injecting enthusiasm and energy can be a hell of a drug for a team - especially with a crowd.

Not when its forced. Nothing wrong with a pumped up celebration though. Winning pumps up a crowd even more.

 

[FR0GGY]

We aren’t seriously complaining about his celebrations are we?
After the shit we’ve put up with for 5-6 years getting the crowd up and about is exactly what is needed.
