The never ending No AFL in the SANFL whinge thread

[sjt]

Rucci mentioned tonight there will be changes next year but also mentioned that both sides are looking at forming an alliance with a SAAFL side

presumably as their "reserves" for the top up players?

They'll find a way to stuff up the SAAFL also.

Exactly.

Interesting, so i would take it, if that happened at port, they wouldn't have a reserves side in the SANFL (Reserves that is) I wonder how they will have an "alliance" i'm sure they'll be able to use this to there advantage to make a mockery of both competitions. Probably figured out if the restrictions are changed they will have a better list teaming up with a SAAFL side, don't trust either of them.

Its very clever by the two clubs and a way of getting around the salary cap.

Be interesting how a resrves side in SAAFL would get around the 15 points max. League footballers are worth 4 points, it would mean some players may have to go from SANFL league football to SAAFL reserves

Lol you act like the AFL clubs will have to play within SAAFL rule

Surely you jest

Trigg and co have been spending the last year working out an exact figure of supporters who will attend these games and they have come up with 10,292

[topsywaldron]

Thank god we've got the immutable rule in the SANFL that the two afl reserves teams will 'play to the line'.

It'll prevent issues like the ones the WAFL have just encountered.

On an unrelated note, how long until the SANFL records it's first three figure crowd?

When is Glenelg next scheduled to play an external trial match?

Will never happen, the SANFL counters wont allow it.
However without looking at the draw, do South play Adelaide again? That could be the game that goes close on a balmy cold wet windy 8 degree day

[UK Fan]

Two months

Should the Power RESERVES win the SANFL Grand Final this year.

I reckon 3 figure crowds at SANFL games for sure next year !!!!

[LPH]

South v Cows next week.
If 'dirty' weather, could be under 1000 then

[bennymacca]

update on the average crowds now that winter has well and truly kicked in?

probably not going to be pretty but would love to know how it compares

[stan]

The SAAFL thing was so dumb, there was no way this would have happened. If anyone brought that bluff then christ good luck with that.

[Rising Power]

Not that it would happen but I assume the SAAFL would still be "open" to the idea: http://www.news.com.au/sport/breaking-n ... 6654799124

Port were/are looking into the idea of having its Academy team play in the SAAFL from 2015 too. Recent rumours that Port Districts, Portland and/or Rosewater would be involved.

[Blackwhite]

Have stopped following the SANFL this year because I have lost my magpies but are crowds across the board up or down with the inclusion of the AFL reserve teams?

[maccad]

another weekend crows or power reserves on tv how many times this year has the tv game not had either of those two on, I remember nwd and cent round 2. Nwd and Eags surely match of the round this week and still could not get on

[scott]
