The never ending No AFL in the SANFL whinge thread

[bennymacca]

Plenty on here think that the afl have in effect diverted money away from sanfl to fund this.

No, but plenty of us think that a similar amount could be spent on setting up a proper AFL reserves league.

They could certainly do both

But if they had to pick one first it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out which one

[zipzap]

Absolutely how many would go if they had to pay and to mention the Adelaide/Sturt game
shows what twats they are on 7 hardly any Crows supporter goes to an SANFL game anyway so
it is an unfair comparison.

And many choose not to go to games like that besides

That's unlike the Cows and their stooges to twist an arguement to suit themselves. Integrity.

I do find a bit hypocritical that you guys all hate the AFL and want to stand on your own two feet but simultaneously want the AFL to give you millions of dollars in cash

Can't have it both ways.

You are aware the AFL clubs were invented on the promise you would Provide SA football million of dollars in cash annually. Why else do you think we put $8 mill worth of capital into the licences. For fun ??

So how exactly is us expecting you to deliver on your promise whilst staying the hell away from our league hypocritical at all.

The only thing hypocritical is the fans of the team for all South Australians thinking south Australians football fans are in anyway greedy for expecting you to deliver on your promise. Plus the crows fans stating they apparently hate Victorians whilst sending their hard earned straight to the docklands every season.

Still clueless

These AFLW will be the reserve side curtain raiser in the near future once all teams have a side

And ?? You think it's just the AFL licences the SANFL gave you.

Do u own the lease at Adelaide Oval or own footy park and incur the costs of running the venues ?? Or does the sanfl

are Port/crows still the first sport stories on seven news/5AAFL or the back page of Adelaide now ?? Or is it SANFL

Guess how Advertiser/Seven news and 5AA filled their sport stories for decades before 1991 Ben. Why did that change almost overnight ?? Why shouldn't we continue to be compensated for our lost media market share we gave to the AFL clubs. When it hasn't been returned.

Crowds of 40k a week dwindled down to 12k due to allowing Adelaide FC the ability to market directly to existing SANFL members. Why should we not continued to be compensated for losing 70% of our supporter/sponsor base.

SANFL spent $8 mill plus the interest costs in the 1990s for these licences and have gained a return of only $15 mill 20 years later which the AFL can pay back over 10 years.

if that's is suppose to compensate for everything we have lost you are clueless.

Keep going to Melbourne for crows game and buying more AFL merchandise you true south Australian football supporter. Oh and Damn those victorian bastards.

Who can't have it both ways ??

These AFLW will be the reserve side curtain raiser in the near future once all teams have a side

If they played reserves utilising those on the list that don't get a game with their best female players then no need to have top up players.

Mixed. You know it makes sense.

Mixed?
Surely you are kidding.
The best women's player in the game is a million miles beneath state comp level and I doubt I'll ever see the day one would be good enough to play that high.
With the popularity of the AFLW I think they definitely be played as curtain raisers in the near future if the comp goes to a winter start

Can't play them as curtain raisers Jim. The ground might get marked.

[mighty_tiger_79]

Well played UK Fan.
Served an unplayable ace.

[MW]

Quit bitching about the past and come up with ways to make the SANFL better NOW.
AFL will always be the bigger league getting the majority of the media.

[mighty_tiger_79]

Well look back over the past few hundred pages and there are plenty of examples in which the SANFL could be better NOW.....

Best way for the SANFL to become better is piss the cancers off to the VFL

[MW]

Think it was heading south before they entered

[mighty_tiger_79]

Which is why crowds were bigger before the reserves came in.....

[Reddeer]

Think it was heading south before they entered

Perhaps we can enter the womens comp. The crowds are pretty good there
