The never ending No AFL in the SANFL whinge thread

[therisingblues]

I heard Jarman reported on MMM that the clubs want to cap the Crows at 16 listed players, im not sure if it was just for finals or all season.
The crows have threatened to go to the VFL if it is passed.

Please please go and take the scum with you

Capping at 16 would be ok. The Crows could introduce an academy side into our reserves like PAM and get rid of the excess players there.

If it makes them bugger off, 16 is plenty!
They won't though. This is just theatrical whining to show how far they can push the SANFL. They'll probably end up with them making a batch of new promises, never to be delivered, and making even more demands, which they want now, they wanted yesterday, and they'll want again tomorrow, and we all better bloody pay attention because all the demands would've changed by then.

Another example of the disgrace our Competition has become:

Port can poach the 2016 Leading Goal Kicker from South Adelaide - put him on their AFL 'Rookie List'.
Great for the player, but how shite for South!
He will be playing AGAINST them in the SANFL FFS!
So wrong.

Is this the same Andrew Jarman that had Adelaide signing Alistair Clarkson on a 5 year deal? Bona fide shit dribbler.

I just ran into an SANFL board member at a pub. I told him how much SANFL supporters hate the AFL sides in the comp but he said the SANFL would be dead without Crows. He said Crows would go to VFL and AFL would help them. He said they want to change finals qualifying rules and that one AFL team would be ok with changes but the other wouldn't. I don't think he really liked being bailed up at the bar. He had no interest in what I had to say and said I was a minority!

Port would be looking at Eddy playing AFL football. They aren't recruiting him, just to get him away from South
Thats pure lunacy from you to think like this. Selfish to think that any SANFL club would hold a player back from realising their dream.
You have to think whats best for the player. Of course Eddy and many other players want to give it their best shot at playing AFL
Of course they must be given the chance. If its South or any other SANFL club that misses out, then bad luck really as its about the player
SANFL clubs and members have to accept that they are play a supporting role now and they are there to prepare players for AFL football

Dear oh dear. It's not about whether Eddy plays at the highest level, and LPH has recognised that in the very post you chose to quote. The clubs DO acknowledge and willingly accept their roles as feeders in the wider football environment, and the overwhelming majority of SANFL fans would not begrudge their players the opportunity to play and earn a professional living at the highest level, which has been part of the SA footy landscape for the past 30-odd years. It's about the presence of the reserves sides in the SANFL comp in which Eddy, if he goes, is likely to spend a fair bit of time. For those supporters that have strong feelings against their participation in the comp, such a move leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. I think that's the sentiment that LPH was expressing.

[Reddeer]

It makes me so angry that the SANFL sit on millions of dollars from the Football Park land sale whilst the clowns and crooks that run the show have their silver service dinners and all the trappings and snouts in the trough rorts that go with in. Time for a revolution and a complete
clean out of the mongrels

[Reddeer]

Call their bluff The SANFL was toooo bloody WEAK to do it last time
If they piss off which they wont it is too bloody bad (for them)

I hope he enjoyed his butcher-sized half spumante - half light beer cocktail with gusto.

True dat. And to be distinguished from Chris McDermott, the Bone fine shit dribbler.

I'm sick of reading about the two AFL clubs being so bad etc, etc, etc. Time that SANFL supporters accepted that the SANFL is purely a feeder competition to the Crows, Port and the other 16 AFL clubs around Australia. Stop whining and accept the reality of the situation. FACT - the SANFL competition is no greater than the amateurs or the nearly country leagues in the eyes of spectators. You get more people to watch a GSFL, HFL or BLG game or a Div 1 SAAFL game than many SANFL games.

Why pay $14 to get through the gate, then pay $8 a beer and then top price for food etc, etc. Cheaper to go to a country game or SAAFL game. Nothing to get in and $5 beers and a $3 BBQ. All that and the standard is not that much greater. The SANFL is a dying competition. End of story

[therisingblues]

We love the SANFL. Most SANFL fans do, that's why they are fans of the SANFL.
Not sure why you needed that explained Ditchy, but you've obviously missed out on something going by your above post.
If you understood that already, then I guess you've come on here to tell us that AFL fans are happy, so we should be as well?

Well thank f#%k for that. I wondered when this bloody thread would end.

I didn't ever think I'd see the day. Someone who can write, but can't read.

BTW, get to many Sturt games this year? You must've enjoyed their flag, given you're a supporter.

[johntheclaret]

I think he is TRB's alter ego.

Both Sturt supporters, both Carlton supporters.

Have you ever seen them on the forum at the same time.? Eh...eh

Yes, I own up.
I wanted to argue with myself, and I am secretly in love with that Glenelg supporter who comes from Holland.

I know who you're referring to, it's the one with the two lips, right? Or is it the dyke?

So you're "sick of reading about the two AFL clubs being so bad etc, etc, etc" are you. Well here's an idea - EFF OFF. Its not hard Einstein.
