SANFL Club Finances

[Aerie]

Was disappointing hearing John Olsen essentially say the SANFL clubs will not see any cash in the foreseeable future for the sale of West Lakes. Surprise, surprise. The only reason I can now see the SANFL clubs remaining somewhat relevant is to give decent competition to the Port and Crows Reserves and of course, to continue to develop players to get drafted.

I wouldnt say that exactly. Its true that most young players want to play at the top level and thats the AFL. But in terms of survival etc I think the SANFL will be ok. The key is Adelaide Oval in which the SANFL have 4 seats on the SMA that is 8 overall. The AFL clubs have no say and really the AFL has no say in regards to the SMA. Hence the SANFL is well placed in this regards.

But the issue is that you have Honest John talking about feeder comps and really, 71mil which every way you look at it is very interesting to hear that the clubs wont see anything. So where is the money going? Because the SANFL dont need to prop up Port anymore as they are not the SANFL's problem. Its an AFL problem now.

When did he say that? The last conversation I heard, ( a few days ago when he spoke to 5AA), he indicated the $71M would eventually be used to wipe off the SANFL debt, which included club debts. has that stance changed?

[mighty_tiger_79]

he may have said that on the ABC, as he was on that station an hour before being on 5AA

Yeah thats what I said. Let me know if that changes, I doubt it will.

There is a big difference between the "SANFL" and the "SANFL League Competition".

Someone, somewhere needs to make a stand for the 8 clubs that compete and the competition it competes in or it will go down the gurgler, if it hasn't already.

I was not under the impression the money made from West Lakes will go towards reducing any of the combined $17mil debt the clubs have.

How can he be regarded as independent if he has spent 14 years on an AFL clubs board. The infiltration is completed.
Thanks Olsen

On the bright side though, great news for the hotel industry and for the Adelaide Crows.
