Interesting article from the West re the pros and cons of a National AFL Reserves Comp..

I think there should be a AFL Reserves comp.

I don't think it will have a more negative impact on state leagues that the current situation.

In fact, I see it as a positive.

The state leagues can then brand them as the alternative they once were.

a lot of it depends on whether the sanfl wants to be the lowest professional league (as it arguably is now) or the highest amateur league, which it would likely become if there was a national reserves comp

the first one comes at a massive cost to tradition which has probably already happened. the latter comes at a cost to the quality of the comp. and would the clubs survive that financially?

Please keep your useless scaremongering to yourself. There's been an afl reserves comp before and it did nothing to our leagues status.

We have over 300 pages of complaints about how nobody gives a flying duck about afl reserves.

Which only the truly stupid and most self indulgent afl fan could even attempt to turn it into a "but an afl reserves comp no one will give a shit about will turn the sanfl into an ammos league" threat.

Have you not taken in anything from the last 300 pages at all.........

Which part of nobody gives a Virat Kohli about the 26th to 40th best player on afl list running around with a different bunch of top ups each week. Aka the 100 fans that go to support the ravens each week have you not understood.

Not even KickInIt was as clueless as this clown. Get a clue or stfu when it comes to the sanfl.

As You seriously have nfi.

Don't bother lad, some people can't see past their own smug sense of righteousness.

I don't think it would have an impact financially. I'm not sure that anyone who still goes cares that much about the quality. At the very least, I can't think that a further decline in quality is going to cause people who are still going to stop going/buying memberships.

Those who are concerned solely with the quality of football probably left for the AFL 25 years ago.

Love how every other Frrigging comp in the country has started other than the SANFULL.. Ammos, Country, you name it.

And of course we start in the week of a Showdown...

Couldn't manage ducks to water.

There are whispers from West Lakes that this is their last year in the SANFL

[Magellan]

Please be true.

[human_torpedo]

Please be true.

But without this issue Magellan you will have to face up to North's current situation.. Surely this is a welcome distraction

We face our own demons at Prospect with our without the apathetic meddling of the AFL sides.

Whether we can be bothered doing anything about them, however, is another matter.

Nah you see he's not unique at all. We have had many exactly like him over the years. An Afl fan with a massive opinion of himself cos they support an afl club and we don't. So naturally they know more than everyone.

He's no different to Been real, red and black,Hondo kickinit etc......:. That have all come and gone over the years.

It just takes some longer than others but Ben will soon catch up like the all the rest before him.

I'd hardly put red and black in that category

Excellent article by former Labor Senator Chris Schacht today in the paper. Details the set up of both SA based AFL clubs who are controlled wholly by the AFL.
No members (only ticket holders) No AGMs, all Board Members appointed or vetted by the AFL Commission. No members therefore no meaningful input into how these clubs are actually run and managed. You hand over serious money to hold a ticket to the games is the extent of it. These clubs are effectively franchise outlets of the AFL Commission, based in Melbourne.

Another reason why it is completely inappropriate to have these two AFL outlets in a legitimate footballing competition such as the SANFL.
I find it staggering that this situation is tolerated let alone largely ignored by the masses as it apparently has been.
