The never ending No AFL in the SANFL whinge thread

[therisingblues]

Actually it turns out that I was right after all.
I just spoke a little bit too early. Indeed it HAS been 21 years since Port's last flag.
That's a VERY long time.

[LMA]

Nah still 20, 3 months to go then you can spruik 21. In the meantime you just sit back on your chesterfield, blow the dust of those hardback novels, brainwash your kid with anti AFL rhetoric and construct 150 word posts to justify your self belief of high intelligence.

Pity they won't add to it

So what were people’s thoughts on Marty Snook winning the JO!

Always good when club stalwarts get recognition for their hard work. What was the breakdown of votes?

20 years and 3 months?
So do you think Port will win a flag BEFORE the drought reaches 21?
Glad to hear you're thinking about me so much.

Well deserved, wouldn’t have been surprised if Aggers or Jesse won it though.

The AFL have asked the SANFL to:

Remove the last touch out of bounds free kick.

Increase the 25 metre penalty to 50 metres.

Reduce the salary cap.

They are actually genuinely trying to kill off the SANFL!

Yes.

Don't care.

Get ******.

"We'll concede the first one, but in return you can ban the recruitment of players between March and October. On the other points you can cordially get knotted."

[DOC]

What is yet to come out is what will they do if we don't?

[VALE PARK]

IMO the last touch rule has clearly worked and improved the game as a spectacle in the SANFULL.

[RB]

Not sure what more they can do or what more the SANFL has to lose by denying the AFL's wishes.

During the 2013 AFL Reserves debate (if it could be called that), a lot of people seemed to fear the consequences if the SANFL didn't acquiesce to the Crows and Power fielding reserves sides.

I still don't know what people thought the AFL would actually do.

Give Port and Adelaide the shittiest time slots to ensure the lowest possible crowds and least revenue to the SMA > SANFL?

[VALE PARK]

They are are easily the weakeast crowd pullers,good point.

Modify the rule,
no, 50 metres is too much of a penalty for minor infringements,
get rooted. Please give us a good reason why we should.

For starters, I'd imagine they'd both ark up about that, and we'd only be talking e.g. 9 Sunday graveyard games instead of 6 anyway; the AFL aren't going to completely screw over the Crows, at least.

But anyway, your response proves my point, in practice the AFL only have a few relatively small sticks with which to hit the SANFL, and avoiding them is hardly worth caving in.
