The reason the Crows don't have home games is that they did not want them. They should have been forced to have them and been like every other club and incur the costs that go with them. Instead they play away and their supporters don't have to pay to get in. As usual they try and make it sound like ...

People will see this as me Crow-bashing....but, clearly Port's set-up was considered and has, from the start, been taking the competition into account.

dedja and plenty of other posters think the Magpies will have no real focus on the SANFL season, I truly think they will. Having spoken to ...

Will Centrals be taken seriously by anyone if they poach players by offering them way more money than their current club is paying them and then ask that same club for a discount on the transfer fee?

Zero.
It is the presidents who vote.
Presidents are the leaders of the board. CEOs are merely employees.

In the power's reserves in the league or in the power's reserves reserves in the reserves?

This is not e-harmony

Any sign of the promotional bonanza in Sturt's zone that was promised? I recall someone saying there was nothing prior to the North game. Keep an eye out......

Please get a travelling one and take it to all the Crows SANFL games. Right now it would register about 2/100 when they score a goal.

Near enough to 20,000 people attending 2 games today.

Bottom and winless SANFL side beat AFL reserves side.

Future of competition looks Ok.

Once Port have a proper set up like the Crows then this comp will be stronger.

Another SANFL Foxtel Cup schemozzle. Bugs me that the rest of the country sees our comp this way. These games will get more publicity than this weeks state game. Either try or don't enter it, one or the other. Yes, applies to Westies too

Loved the comment that the 8 genuine clubs are on an even playing field. If the Commission had got Port's entry conditions correct (ie. the same as Crows) then this could have been a real positive for SANFL. To allow Port to retain so many league players and then recruit other highly experienced ...

You are obviously planning on South scoring -6 then?

The amount of whinging about Port Adelaide is unbeleivable It gives clubs and ideal target for where clubs should be The SANFL needs to have clubs acheive that level to ensure we remain a viable competition not go backwards. Do the work required crows side on the weekend had more AFL listed players ...

At last count South have 2 players injured gone for the year, and another 5 injured who would be walk up starts if fit. Also 3-4 others who are injured who would be handy replacements. South do not have the rehab facilities or expert sports med budget of an AFL club either.
At last count Port will ...

I think you'll find he is actually playing each week that the Glenelg schedule doesn't clash (possibly at Tailem Bend?)

In addition to being Football Manager, Reserves Coach, League Runner and SANFL state team assistant coach & selector that is.

Fairly full schedule.....

Alright, time for an update; the last 5 seasons are:

Year Avg, Median
2010 3260 3053 (to Rd 17, 66 matches)
2011 3302 2895 (to Rd 16, 62 matches)
2012 3003 2534 (to Rd 17, 64 matches)
2013 2725 2553 (to Rd 16, 63 matches)
2014 2888 2393 (to Rd 13, 65 matches)

Am I correct in saying that:
2013 is ...

I think Flynn & Clinch incidents were assessed by the tribunal as being worth a similar number of points before the good/bad record adjustment was applied. Clinch can't argue that he has a bad record, Flynn is lucky to get credit gor a good one if he gets suspended inside his first 10 games. Should ...

I'm simply relying on SANFL website from 3rd quarter. I've seen plenty of SANFL games where the umpiring blatantly favours one side and then after the damage is done mysteriously swings back to end up less statistically significant. Wouldn't rule it out......

Port started it

Scores level at the moment., Glenelg 0 Eagles 0.
