OK
I'm going to put aside the arguments presented on who is Port Adelaide in the SANFL these days.
1877-2013
2014 +
1877+
My interpretation of a sports competition
* Where 2 or more entities compete under the same rules and regulations.*
CURRENT SANFL COMP
8 teams picking an A Grade team , and the perception it is the best available personnel on a given day
2 teams picking a B grade team , being who is leftover from its AFL team.
QUESTION
How is this meant to be a proper competition if the rules are different for 20 % of the teams to the other 80 % ?
ANSWER
My answer
Its not a proper comp anymore until:
Port Reserves and Adelaide Reserves are deleted from the comp
Or
Until CD/EG/GL/NW/NA/SA/ST/WA field an AFL team , and play their B grade in the SANFL
