Ask a Panther supporter whether they've hated this year. I doubt it!

I've actually both loved and hated this year - obviously loved it because of South's good performance, however, at the same time I have hated it from very early on in the season with the realization that barring a major upset, the power reserves are way too good for the sanfl and enjoy too many major advantages.
The 8 pure clubs have had a more settled season without having AFL players coming in and out of their teams each week, but on the other hand, the presence of the AFL reserves has had an adverse affect on the competition and more so on supporters.
I supported the AFL reserves in the SANFL originally but I was wrong - they should not be allowed to play in the finals.
In fact your mob has been denied a minor premiership and instead finds itself in a cut-throat final thanks to the participation of rubbish teams. Matches against AFL garbage ought not be for match points - with a view to the eventual removal of said teams.
