Its quite alright for people to wish for a SANFL without the Magpies and Crows, You cant blame people for getting a little bit excited that it might actually happen due to the rona and we can return to a comp on a level playing field.

I don't doubt your devotion Booney but you're in a very small group.

Anyway I seem to recall the SANFL had to talk them into keeping the Magpies when the Power franchise was set up. .

On any topic in any part of life I'm willing to change my opinion or be educated by an evidence based argument by people whose opinion I respect. If I don't respect you it's unlikely I'll respect your opinion, pretty simple.
Actually, little mate, I think regardless of your stance on the AFL reserves gaining delight from the demise of something people covet is pretty ordinary behaviour. Me, I couldn't hate Centrals anymore if I tried, not a chance, but I've thrown $20 into the melting pot as there's people I know who care deeply for the club and I'd hate for them to witness the demise of something they love, particularly under these circumstances. I've had Glenelg and West Adelaide memberships in the past for the same reason.
So if you're saying that I think my opinion is right and UK/yours is wrong then absolutely, I think you're wrong here and not just because it's my club.
Enjoy your day, stay safe.

I think it's been mentioned that it was a clause in the SANFL commissions decision to give the PAFC the second AFL licence that the club keep a presence in the SANFL but not be in anyway aligned with the Port Adelaide Football Club's AFL arm.

No problem with Port going to a bigger and better league but that should have been the end of them in the SANFL there and then. Terrible decision to keep Port in the SANFL by all involved

Both AFL sides missing finals regularly since then.
Wasn’t that initially suppose to be their biggest gain?
I’d like to see the Port Magpies revert back to a standalone team once again.
The Power can disperse their players elsewhere.

Pretty sure it was more about control and development of players. Keeping them together was the logical step.

I’m actually staggered it’s lasted so long, really a waste of clubs resources.
Much better to just play the U18’s with say 6 overage spots for the quality footballers coming back from injury or on the fringe. The rest go back to their community club.
I know there have been the odd exception but by in large anyone who has played over 50 Reserves games is not going to make it in the SANFL

I don’t think there is conclusive evidence that either model leads to winning flags.amber_fluid wrote:LMA wrote:amber_fluid wrote:Having the AFL reserves sides in the SANFL has done very little for their actual AFL sides.

At the expense of winning premierships?
Got it now.

It's certainly what the PAFC thought was happening.
