Also mentioned no team should have to face them with a shorter break, given their advantage of facilities and not having to work.
Spot on Roy, sticking up for the sanfl and the little integrity left.

Well said Roy. I recall prior to a decision even being made last year he was strongly opposed to the idea in Inside Footy. Basically just came out and said what the majority of us were thinking. Given he has no ties to either AFL club, nor an abition to work at either, he has little trouble finding his voice unlike too many involved in SA football.

Good old Crows have compromised the SANFL, why not the Adelaide Uni Blacks as well?? God i hope the Blacks tell them to crawl away.

Did anyone hear those fools on MMM this afternoon?
They were asking 'the best players never to win a Brownlow'.
A bloke rang up & said "Craig Bradley" - which I would concur with.
Lewis & Biglands then said; "He won a Magarey Medal, though" - IDIOTS!!!
'Braddles' was favorite in 1985 (his last in SA) but I recall that Grantley Fielke won it that year.
Confirms the complete ignorance of the AFL dominated Commercial Media in this city.
That said; Lewis also suggested that he thought Bob Skilton had won 1 or 2 Brownlows - that would be 3 & he only played at YOUR Club Lewis, you twat!

A young boy cheered for Port Reserves today
On a couple of occasions he yelled out go Port Port Power
On another occasion he yelled out bury em Port Power
This is how a conversation took place between the boy and another mature aged female Port supporter[not exact but should be close enough to the facts]
" Bury em Port Power"
" Its not Port Power its Port Adelaide"
" No its Port Powers second team"
" No its Port Adelaide."
There was a bit more added about Port is or Port is not
Then the lady says
" Get stuffed" To the young boy
The adult with the boy exploded
" Hey , barrack for your team lady, but don't swear at the boy he is only 15."
She must have told the man to get stuffed as well , so the guy told her to shut up, support her team and not abuse the young boy any more
" This is a family area stupid, don't abuse the kid."
The man gave it to the Port lady
Wow!
Both the kid and lady barracking for the same team and they argued !
And to top it all off the lady was wearing her Port Power clothes and scarf !

The main change he believes is that top up players will be restricted to underage players who havnt been on a AFL or state league list in the last 2 years, possibly u21 but could be u23. This would be effective immediately so Krakouer, Summerton, Callinan etc would be forced out.
