Easily McIntosh. I was brave enough to run on to Alberton Oval after Norwood had just lost by a couple goals and get his autograph...decked out in Port gear of course. He went from looking very pissed off to a bit puzzled when I said "great game Macca", then he signed my book, said "there ya go mate ...

But surely there's enough support from within the clubs, the players and the supporters to stage a rebel grand final?

Good post.
I can see where you are coming from there.

See you at Alberton on Saturday then?

Not much has changed on this thread

MOST posters who defend Port RESERVES are MOSTLY Port Adelaide barrackers of that team that existed 1870-2013
I have no problem with that, they need a team to barrack for
But for SOME to MOST other barrackers of the other 8 genuine SANFL clubs, they MOSTLY ...

Once again it comes down to what you think defines a club.

The bottom line is,I believe that it's up to the people who support the club that define what a club is.

Correspondents in this thread who post over and over and over their thoughts on the Port Adelaide Football Club are entitled to an ...

I'm starting to sense that the AFL reserve teams aren't welcome in the SANFL

7 WAFL, 8 SANFL and 5 VFL clubs not aligned to AFL clubs. Find a white knight to fund a rebel 20-team national league to rival the AFL...

Insert standard "How about you just *** off out of our comp instead" remark here...

QUESTION
How is the SANFL meant to be a proper competition if the rules are different for 20% of the teams to the other 80% ?

It's a good question, one that I can't answer. But it's not up to me to answer it; I'll leave that job to the SANFL.

Wow, Tasman did pretty well out Wagner winning the comp - nothing about Centrals!

"Preparing to win their third premiership in succession on Saturday, Tasman was handed a $25,000 cash injection as reward for producing Wagner."

Seemed to be just another News Ltd sanctioned troll.

I'm pretty certain that Port don't pay the same fee as the Crows to play in the SANFL
The $400k is an annual licence fee for entering the SANFL competition. Port are/were an existing entity in the competition so no fee applies.

Initial terms:
Crows: m
Port: m

Wasn't arguing whether they should ...

How could a reserves team claim league premierships? That's just silly. Our league team has the 36 premierships, plus one more from the competition it currently plays in

Does anyone know the status of the player eligibility. The magpies have a bye this week and the Power has a bye next week. Is there some players agreement that the power listed player all have a bye at the same time. If so who can play for the magpies next week. In the past couple of seasons the ...

The stupid thing about the Summerton situation is that Port were weaker for having more AFL listed players.

Summerton is a 200 game veteran and been going pretty well lately. Replace his skill and experience with a couple of unco 19 year olds.

Magpie crowds would halve.

Could possibly increase if you bring back a traditional Magpie SANFL team.
Maybe. The over 45's who knew and loved the old system and a few random youngsters (extending from family/friends of players) might come back/remain but there would be a significant number of ...

How much better would this photo (and the league) look by removing the one on each end:

Someone has to say it.

How much better would this photo (and the league) look by removing the one on each end and also removing the front row.

Hate how SANFL has moved league games forward an hour to ...

Doesn't look too bad at all, I kinda like it.

Taking opposition club members money over the bar is one thing, having them take over the presentations is another. They should be playing matches at AAMI and have their presentations at the Checkside Tavern. The old West Lake retirees spending their self managed funds away dollar by dollar would ...

They didn't wear pink in 1914 but I imagine they will in 2020 when we celebrate 130 years since our second SAFA Premiership and first Championship of Australia title.
