Lifes a Beach
Cancelled
Bump! Can anyone help me out here? Trying to see if there are any/many differences in state leagues that may affect playing standards. Club admin and football operations all seem to be on the same plan/standard across the country. Any info would be great!
The NEAFL is not quite at that level where list spots are competed for at training and officially allocated pre season, there is always spare at the end of the list for late interstate movers etc.A lot of players will move in Jan for instance, also the reserves competition has become disjointed with not enough teams (GC NT & Lions don't have reserves) so with a lot of byes not the ideal place to be. Underneath the NEAFL is a strong competition referred to as The PHC (Pineapple Hotel Cup) and players not quite making the grade in the NEAFL can go and play here rather than play reserves in the NEAFL.So the bottom end of the list is always liquid through the season.We even have NEAFL players permited to play in lower leagues during the season.Then we have the strange Qld phenomenon of listed players for established NEAFL clubs playing for the opposition Suns reserve side but that is a story for another day.
Hope that helps Maxer.
