I might be wrong
But why is it 150 years of SANFL football ?
That's 1864 going by the slogan

The first true SA comp started in 1877

The Crows are trying to link with the Adelaide Football Club that started organising matches in 1864. Rewriting history as we speak.

Who cares if a few more do.

At least they were representing our state. The Crows do not do that.

This is an absolute disgrace and I cannot remember such treachery since Rocket Rooster was spotted at Willunga!!!!!!!!

Wonder what dangerfield and Sloan think 2 Victorians.

Also how can the Crows say they are representing the SANFL sides when they are now competing against us!!!!!

Sick of the crows they are dead to me!!!!!!

This!!!!

How long until the Crows reserves wear the state guernsey in the SANFL??????

I dont support the Crows or the Power, and I dont follow any particular SANFL side, and this still makes me angry.

I am a proud South Australian though, and this jumper is for players from this state (no matter what club they're currently at) representing the state.

I was gonna barrack for Port against the Crows anyway, solely because I like how Port have gone about things in the last year or so, and this has only strengthened my support for Port, and my hate for the Crows.

Now, as a South Australia football fan, Im being told that the Crows are MY team. **** off! No South Australian football fan should ever be made to hate the team wearing the state guernsey, and as long as its being worn by a club (Crows or Port, doesnt matter) theres gonna be South Australians that will not support it.

Selfish, arrogant, holier-than-thou, HORSE SHIT!!!

I really hope this bites the Crows in the arse and their own supporters that dont agree with this voice their concerns.

That's even more preposterous
Adelaide Crows have never ever been linked to the Adelaide club formed 3 centuries ago
Adelaide Crows are an AFL team

From memory, the Eagles may have worn the WAFL guernsey a few years ago.

Not sure about that. Im pretty sure most of our hertiage guernseys were the original eagles jumper.

What kills me they say its their heritage what heritage they have only been around for 23 years this is a club which was spawned from leftover ejaculate after the PAFC tried to enter the big league.

The Crows are not the Club for all South Australians they are not a state team and therefore should not wear the state jumper.

As for the SANFL board someone should start the ball rolling and sack these incompetent F###WITS they have debased the SANFL.

So all you P@##S hang your collective heads in shame you are an embarassment to SA football.

'Deepest respect', 'admiration for South Australian football','highlight the history of the SANFL and its clubs'. Stop it you're killing me.

Good entertainment. Keep blowing your lids!

Personally I think it's a poor choice but who cares.

It is the design or colours causing the angst?

It's neither. It's what the guernsey represents.

Very very sad.

Trigg will want them to wear the Baggy Green at their next Charity cricket game...

The crows bought back their licence from the SANFL and have their reserves team competing against the SANFL teams but now they want to represent these same SANFL sides who they don't want to be associated with and compete against!!!!!!!

I haven't been this angry since Rocket rooster appeared at Willunga!!!!!!!!!!!!

How piss weak is the sanfl.

(I'd laugh if Port won - what a joke)

Better still - Port should wear the old black and white state guernsey (as worn by SA around the time that Port adopted the colours), and claim in return that they are the team for all SAians, etc.

Frankly I don't give a cr@p if the Clowns (or the smears for that matter) want to wear an old (note emphasis) state jumper to acknowledge that the club was born of the SANFL. Let them dig up the '70s panelled version and wear that.

However to sanction the wearing of the current state jumper by an AFL club is beneath contempt.
