Two different things, were we going to push for it and would we prefer for it to happen. Were we going to push? I doubt it, don't think we would have won too many favours from the SANFL. Would we prefer for it? We'd been surreptitiously moving players to the Magpies for ages from SANFL clubs.
This is how I recall things.
Yup. Port were keen for it. There was a degree of collusion between Port and Adelaide, They knew If Port argued for it no chance it was going to succeed given how much Port were loved by the rest of the SANFL.
If this was going to succeed this was an argument the Crows were going to have to lead and risk the bad publicity.
There are times the two AFL franchises work together for mutual benefit despite what Booney's twitter friend might think.
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!
