[OLD LION]

Are players ruled out if they play too many VFL games??? It used to be ten - then ruled out

You became inelligible when you played the twelth game , two thirds of the roster games.

Cheers lads

Um, VFL is a 20 game season this year with no byes, and 2/3rds of 20 is 13.4
Therefore, after the 14th match, you are ineligible to play in SFL finals

I believe this season the only prerequisite is that you must play five club roster games,otherwise you can not play in the finals.The Devils have byes on 3/05/08, 31/05/08, 26/07/08. I do not know how the remainder of VFL Teams rosters work. This information is in the SFL Premier League Roster.

 

[Ozguy]

The SFL bylaws state that you are ineligible if you play 2/3 of the VFL roster, so you are incorrect.

VFL Roster has 2 split rounds this season (For the Devils, they have byes on the 3rd May and 26 July.) They still play 20 games
31st May is the week off for the SANFL/VFL match at either Adelaide Oval or Coopers Stadium, Norwood.

 

[glory man]

I was told the SFL rules had a minimum five club games, as there are now three byes for the devils . My source also told me AFL Tas allocate players and North have not got as many devils plaers as first thought.

not as many aye?
well how many players did you think they had!
i had a look at there jumper numbers the other night aswell...
up to 11 devil listed players!
and for AFL TAS to allocate devils players around the clubs is a bloody disgrace!!!!
i hate North as much as the next bloke but atleast they are out there doing the best thing for there club!!

 

[Barge]

Settle down Flood, Geez you get your knickers in a knot easy!

What I was talking about was what that clown Cresswell was proposing at the end of last season after the Devils won the Spoon, he seemed to think all Devils players somehow had the right to play SFL finals if their SFL club made them.

EVEN IF THEY HADN'T PLAYED A SINGLE GAME FOR THEIR SFL CLUB!

If this is not the case then I am one happy camper, because that would have been nothing short of, as I said Floody, DISGRACEFUL!

The two-thirds rule should make it a bit fairer all round!

What I was saying is that not all of the eleven [ I did not see the jumper numbers ,or players names ,as I was not at the game] will be noth hobart players AFL Tas stated some of these players will be allocated to other clubs.

Jon Bowring

Just watching Friday nights game go through and low and behold is number 15 for Glenorchy Jon Bowring?

In my time filming footy in this state this bloke has gone Devils,Cygnet, Glenorchy, Kingborough (I think), New Norfolk and now Glenorchy again!

I think he also had a run with Upper Derwent once! Must have played at more clubs than Joc McGregor!

Also noticed the big "bear" Robinson out there and a David Newett look a like (though this bloke had just a little hair).

Gee Glenorchy look hungry for more flags and I was going to tip them but after reading Bink-Bink's review well then maybe it's a bit more open than I thought!

Bink-Bink you would make a great commentator mate.

 

[Duff TV]

Probably not as much as Lyle Elliott would have done after their loss to South today.
South certainly came to play, Smithton simply were missing, very ordinary effort by the Saints, who have an interesting assignment at Penguin next week.

For god sake will someone start up a "SFL only" thread as I am sure alot of us are really not interested in hearing about such a lop sided - predictable going no-where comp!

Wtf...?

I've heard good raps about you and your tv biz from the VFL site...and the sig says "all football"...instead, you sound like a Southerner...

 

[Barge]

• saying that Glenorchy are better than last year is a load of rubbish... Out of last year's side comes Newitt (experienced and still found the ball), Joseph (very, very good player), Armstrong (could play on a tall, athletic, courageous player, will miss him down back as it frees up another player), Spencer (ruck rotation, but probably in bottom 3 players in team), Cornelius (If Cressa has any sense he should play him in the VFL all season and develop him - big future). Have I missed any others? Although these blokes have gone, it gives younger players an opportunity......
  
• Poor crowd - there was more there a couple of years back. Not sure whether this was a fixture last year???

I hope the Mercury pull their fingers out with their coverage. Been pretty ordinary.

I think you may have overlooked Bink Bink, a handy player by the name of Brodie Moles!

Poor crowd? All I can say is I picked this!

You missed Brighton.

 

[monna]

Wouldn't have minded toddling along for a look at that game, but alas I was stuck at work 'til 11pm.
Looked like there were a fair few at the game from what I could see on the news.
In regard to more night games, I quite agree, but they've really gotta get the lighting facilities up to scratch first.
Hobart Lions allegedly turned down the offer of playing Brighton under lights next Saturday night at Pontville, so it looks that that match will be a day game.
A bloke I know that barracks for Brighton reckons the lights aren't quite right yet anyway so...

Correct,

The lights aren't quite ready yet. Should be right for the first scheduled night game, round 6 vs Glenorchy. 2 more scheduled after that.

Yes, Brodie was very good in 2006 when Glenorchy were runners up. In 2007, the Magpies didn't have his services.

Just stirring but really I hope it becomes a bit more even up there one day.

Must say the SFL is only a bit better in terms of evenness, still the big guns always winning flags although New Norfolk got one 2 years ago.

That will never change. The TFL was North v Clarence for the last few years of its existence, regardless of the odd cameo by Burnie and Glenorchy...

Good stuff. I was shown your site by the guy that did your 2001 commentary for all those Devils away games (Peter?)...are there any more, including years since...? It's been a bit hard catching up with Tasmanian footy living up here since 1996...I was also under the impression that there was actually a relegation system at some stage with the STFL...?

Just in regard to the NTFA Div 2 - Evandale are splashing some big cash so they will be in the top 4 you'd imagine. Tamar Cats will be a top 3 too. Also spending a lot of money, including Beaconsfield's favourite ex miner Todd Russell and half of the big money chasers in the NEFU.

Yeah that was the worst part about that one, there are 6 teams that all have a legitimate claim for positions 3, 4 and 5 this year.

Tamar with the Barrons in the side will give them options up forward, St Pats will be competitive all the way again, Uni-Mowbray with their turnover of players might be there abouts, Perth are softly softly, OL's and Evandale have got some recruits in which will make them competitive.

I have to admit though, Fingal v Old Scotch final is on the cards this year though!
