Learning the gameplan, structures and even the required fitness is not going to happen in a few weeks. Would destroy some state league teams for no benefit to the AFL.

Afl dictates to SANFL, SANFL dictates to it's clubs. Its never changing. Be lucky if 2 or 3 players a year get drafted so AFL won't think its a problem.

Au contraire, the problem is amplified by the smears and clowns having reserves teams. It's one thing to lose a key player mid-year to the eastern league. It's another matter entirely when that same player suits up against your mob the next week in a clowns guernsey.
Simple, they don't play against their former club. I think the big soccer leagues have something like that in play when they loan out players.
Mid season draft aside, even if that was implemented now as a regulation for Port & Adelaide eg Trengove against Sturt, do you think that would stop the whinge and bring so called supporters back? Of course not

The reasons they miss out is because they many-fold. The mid season draft gives them an opportunity if the need arises because of form or injury to key personnel. It could be the opportunity they need to get into the AFL and from there who knows.
Also, think about it, if I'm a kid who misses out on the draft, I have two options. Try SANFL or just go to Ammo's or country. This may actually entice them to stay in the State league.
I'm assuming the player has the opportunity to say 'no'?
If I were a coach in the SANFL you go in eyes wide open. You always try and promote your players to play at the highest level, so you shouldn't be against this, although they could way-lay your short term plans by losing key personnel on the way through.

Gee, it must be a hard life if your biggest concern is people whinging on a thread that you don't necessarily have to log onto!
I mean you COULD ignore it, but then you know that out there, somewhere, there is someone who loves SANFL and they are bitching about Crows and Power reserves, midseason drafts and shit like that.
It MUST drive you absolutely bananas! I don't know how you deal with it, seriously.
All WE have to deal with is the further demise of our league, but YOU, wow, you have to deal with the fact that someone is bitching on a thread somewhere.
If only we could find a way to turn you into moral armour, the whole world would be saved from political correctness.
