Which 5 clubs?

It's not hard to work out since there's only 8 clubs and 3 are doing well!

Well I know Glenelg, South & West were struggling but have no idea who the other 2 would be.

Centrals & Norwood????

Would be easier to work out the clubs doing well.

North and Sturt for starters.

I've got an idea to help all clubs cash flow.
Do away with the 5 byes and play footy,
get supporters and sponsors to 5 more games and create enjoyment and much needed income!
5 games every week.
To me that is so simple?
Let us see what the league program holds in 2017.

Problem is SANFL clubs can't solve their problems via match day revenue (or Traditional Football Club income) anymore.

Yes but every journey starts with small steps.
Get started,create more suburban interest in the competition and just play more footy at suburban ovals ,
don't leave them empty of supporters,all the ovals are way under used resources.
Poor business models indeed with business falling in every suburb.
Our local weekly northern paper has not mentioned the SANFL finals despite the Roosters having 2 teams in grand finals!
Change nothing and nothing changes.
Save the Tigers etc,etc.yes please.
Sadly Frankston is gone in the VFL who will be first here?
Really sad when you see the largesse of AFL spending but that is another story.

The AFL brought down the SANFL.

It's irreversible.

All SANFL clubs are in financial hardship.

That's business in South Australia.

Comment "Jay Weatherill"

Jay's solution would be another 'Levy'
SANFL Levy - paid on ticket prices to AFL Games or AFL Club Memberships, perhaps?
I can see all the Cows & PAPs fans going for that

$25 per Member = $2.25 Million (40K PAPs, 50K Cows) - seem logical

Piss the crook Olsen off and bring in the chick from sturt. She has done an unbelievable job for them and would be a perfect fit for the top job

She's definitely done wonders at Sturt, but unless I'm mistaken she's a big fan of the reserves sides, so there'd be less possibility of movements that front.

Yeah, but he plays for the Crows.

True. But I was more thinking of the idea of saving some of the traditional clubs. If every club was financial I reakon you would find this AFL debacle was a mistake that we would all look back on in years to come.

Correct weight.

Not much raised at all by the Glenelg supporters in fact that is terrible. What the hell is this club doing . Looks like they have no idea on how to get out of it and just hope the Council will wipe the debt .Are they serious Do they have any ideas to generate income ? Surely it's time that someone with a little business sense stands up and throws the board over.
Glenelg supporters seem to be not behind their club at all. Is that because they are often losing ? This is very disturbing and they can't be blaming the SANFL or anything else for this .

It wouldn't be losing, it'd be the fact Chiggy helped destroy the SANFL by voting the cancer in.
I've fought my guts out for North in the past but wouldn't give them a cent or any effort if they were in the same boat as Glenelg these days.
At the end of the day some clubs think they can rely on happy clappers but they're the last sort of people to stand up in a crisis.

So they've raised $100,000. That sounds like a figure bereft of any major benefactors contribution. ie - No rich git has coughed up.

Norwood has Blass, North has Gerard, who do the Bays have, who could be their white knight? Salisbury must do ok....

the sentence i bolded above, should worry the management at prospect. sadly it wont. they dont think that they will ever be in that position again while they have cash rolling in from all their pokies. "why do we need people to go watch us play? we make money regardless....."

^ This.

There was a time when I would have emptied my bank balance without hesitation if the club needed it. As it stands, I made a reasonable donation to the fund, but an order of magnitude smaller. Should the club grow a set of balls and start acting in its own interests instead of A) toadying to AFL interests and B) pissing its own finances down the drain, then I would re-join as a member and loosen the purse strings. Until that time, sending large amounts of money to the GFC would be a poor investment.
