YES to VFL in the SANFL!


Don't you argue the AFL is just an expanded VFL though?

Would have no issues with that. 2 very proud stand alone VFL clubs. Whilst they may have had AFL affiliation in the past they have stood on their own 2 feet for a while now.


But the Grand Final must always be played at the Adelaide Oval.....
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

They'll have to change their colours, well PM anyway. Wonder if all their haters and single minded supporters will cry it's not Port Melbourne anymore :lol:

It can still develop players for the AFL but be a genuine seperate competition at the same time.


Good idea but for that to succeed you would think it would need to be heavily funded by the AFL, the entity which so many on here despise.

Well, if they begin doing things for the betterment of football as a whole, rather than actively undermining the validity of the leagues below the top tier, then that action would have a positive affect on the way some of us view the AFL.
Footy needs a responsible governing body. While I don't speak for everyone, it is their actions that have earned my ire, not their mere being. That same philosophy would continue to apply.

Didn't Rob Chapman and Trigg promise to "play to the line" in the SANFL Finals when their AFL season is over?

Not playing Sam Jacobs would be exactly against that philosophy

Word I heard is that these clubs will be in the VFL comp which might possibly expand. I think a lot of it all is still up in the air at the minute though.

The monolith with which supporters and administrators across the board, not the least from AFL fans themselves, had many a due cause to swing their rock hammers into over the years.

Yep cant see this getting off the ground without AFL endorsement and funds.

GIven reserves footy is not a priority for them compared to the Northern states and womens footy, this will remain at best a good internet discussion point, IMO.

Agreed, it would mark a major policy swing on their behalf to provide adequate funding to this idea.
It is a change in the script having a couple of clubs outside SA requesting it though, I imagine it would be mutually beneficial to all parties involved, so it'd be great if it could be realised.
I guess in some ways it's comparable to the failed NT bid a few years back, but sounds like a more plausible proposition.
