There is a lot of discord on here and a lot of " get over it" or "move on"
But step back for a second. Those who feel passionately about not having Reserve teams in the SANFL have a right to push their cause, and where else are they expected to do this other than on a football forum dedicated to the ...

I dont care about what the standard is like.

If my favourite football team plays in a comp with integrity ill be there every week.

Absolutely correct, well said.

Standard is not an issue, get clubs playing in a genuine competition on an even playing field and you have a great starting point to ...

yep, get back to a more family-orientated club, less emphasis on the big dollar, more emphasis on the supporters, more chook raffles & meat tray raffles, downsize the size of the clubs, make it cheaper to get in to the footy. You get my drift.

What hurts most for me is it the people who are meant to protect and promote the league who are killing it!!!

We can't compromise on this, there is only 1 solution, kick them out......and if we go arse up, well we were going to anyway BUT I'd rather go arse up under our terms, not theirs.
NO AFL IN THE SANFL!!

My response to Rucci...

My response to Rucci...
Well done Michelle, put my name on there as well, plus the thousands of diehard SANFL supporters that are against this infiltration!
That letter has to go straight to the poolroom!
I think the next step is writing a generic letter that can be copy and pasted by supporters ...

I do find a bit hypocritical that you guys all hate the AFL and want to stand on your own two feet but simultaneously want the AFL to give you millions of dollars in cash

Can't have it both ways.


You are aware the AFL clubs were invented on the promise you would Provide SA football million of ...

Well played UK Fan.
Served an unplayable ace.

AFL will always be the bigger league getting the majority of the media.

Best way for the SANFL to become better is piss the cancers off to the VFL

I don't think it's funny - more... inevitable. Unless a significant, strategic and practical restructure is undertaken. Also keep in mind I don't associate the death of the SANFL with the death of the clubs. So whilst it is true that I have no time, sympathy or reverence for the administrative wing ...

Well said JK.
I feel like I (and others) have said the same in different words a hundred times over.

Its taken 338 pages and some hard truths (and some questionable logic) from Morell but finally we have a post that sums it all up perfectly, without the bitterness and spite and blame laying and finger pointing.. Well said JK

Unfortunately this thread now resembles the SANFL.......... a joke, not serious, second rate, piss take, waste of time.....................

Oh well at least the Port Power supporters are happy as they moved on to the AFL.

Some people simply don't (and never will) get it.

Unfortunately some have also used it as an excuse to give up

No most of us still support our club, just from elsewhere than the home ground mound.

My $ go to my local grassroots club now, that where I get my live footy fix.

Fair enough too ...

Good to see Sturt beaten by the Professionals (except for some of their supporters who didn't advocate their inclusion). The Sturt board seems to be one of the strongest advocates of the incursion, I guess they can be they won a flag. Also good to see Norwood out, though Tripodi and Pickard have one ...

Good result today Slaven?
Professionals in a GF, twice in four years. The sanfl or sanfull or what ever their marketing/afl has dictated it is, is such a pathetic farcical "competition". Hope the power smash whatever bend over club they play in a fortnight.

No contest against the Professionals SANFL still a joke and a FARCE after FOUR years of this compromised competition.

You've tried to fool us
With your one club stunts
Everyone sees through it
You deluded bunch of...
