You've managed to encompass all the reasons I don't want the AFL influencing the SANFL.
But when I post stuff like this on the other board I get accused of wearing a tin foil hat or worse.
I think the key is to wait until things are unbearable.... And THEN complain.
Us tin foilers are just ahead of the game.

Hopefully your post influences a few to give up AFL and strengthen the hand of our state league by turning up there.
The answer IS obvious.


I said it a year ago or so on the SANFL threads somewhere that it is the perfect opportunity for the SANFL to take the initiative, in relation to the state of the game, and offer an alternative to the AFL and attract fans back to the Suburbs.
The SANFL is a dead as Carltons season. After a few more oldies walk away it will be nothing more than a feeder comp.


It's not now?

So have we now come full circle? Not only are SANFL die hards unhappy with the AFL, but AFL devotees have also had enough of the crap the former has been complaining about for years.
The AFL would respond to a sudden resergence in interest in local leagues, especially if accompanied by a decline in interest in the AFL.
The answer is obvious.
I'm gonna sit back, crack the top off a Pale Ale, and watch the Double Blues prevail

It’s all about proping up the VFL franchises as I mentioned in the NFFL thread, NT Thundee to be wound up (read AFZl to redirect their funding to the Gold Coast) and the NT to be used to prop up the Gold Coast NEAFL side

Not many happy people up here.

Sometimes you think that the AFL thinks Australian Football starts and stops with 18 soulless VFL franchises.
