The never ending No AFL in the SANFL whinge thread

[Booney]

The AFL have influenced this comp long before 40 kids from 2 clubs got to have a game together in suburbia. Television rights has seen the AFL given more exposure within the last 10 years making it hard for the SANFL to settle on a timeslot, AO has changed the dynamic for what fans want out of going to the footy, Country and Ammo's are paying way too much enticing players away from the SANFL, supporters are ageing, half the youth would never of heard if the SANFL. I could go on, but you blokes just keep blaming Port & Adelaide if it makes you feel better

Conspiracy theories will not be entertained.

I understand those are valid points.
And not all blame is on Port/Ravens, atleast from my viewpoint.
The SANFL administrators have helped to kill off the league.
There are numerous options the SANFL could have done in order to stay prevalent in todays footy landscape.
However it seems the easy option was taken.

As a very simple person, I can't comprehend how the AFL, allegedly Australia's no.1 sport doesn't have a reserves competition.

The WAFL look after 2 sides. The SANFL look after 2 sides. The VFL look after 10 sides. The NEAFL is the only thing the AFL has to fund. Simple economics.

Why do state leagues have to be responsible?

Are they dishing it out in the SANFL?

Lol at whenever anyone uses the words 'surely would' when asked to provide evidence for their claim.

Yes its a half cocked statement without proof, happy for you to provide evidence to refute said statement

[RB]

Generally how it works is, you make a claim, you bear the burden of proving the truth of that claim, not leaving others to do it...

[LMA]

Nah I'm good, I reckon there some truth to what I said, surely
