Maybe front running afl fans should support their team no matter what.
Not based on how high they predict their team will finish on the ladder each year, this would then guarantee sa football the revenue stream it was promised year on year.
THis aint no chicken or the egg scenario dumbass.

Yeah, so we can throw our toys out the cot. Or make a banner. We'll show 'em!

Maybe we should all walk from rundle mall holding hands to adelaide oval on match days.

That will show them.

You do nothing but shit can the comp you supposedly love. Well used to anyway, before you took your bat and ball home. You come in here to shit can Port at any opportunity. You other nothing constructive. Why do you even bother coming on here? Simply to troll?

That's ******* classic mate, ******* classic. You do nothing but kick it in the guts as it falls to the floor.

You sink the boot in as it falls, do nothing to help it. You're delusional.

If you give your kids $50 to buy your missus a present for mothers day, who actually paid for the present, you or the kids?

I think we will see more a more resources poured into grassroots junior development. So your PHOS Camdens, Paynehams, etc as the main vehicle for junior development, then I think there will be an elite junior comp setup, like the TAC cup in Victoria, for the final phase before the AFL.

yes and no. to get drafted isnt there an agreement in place that players have to be on an sanfl list? they cant get drafted from the ammos. sanfl is still the final step in the pathway before afl.

Which could be ripped up by the AFL in about 20 seconds should they decide the structure here isn't working.

Actually it hasnt. Numbers of SA kids getting drafted to the AFL are decreasing. We just had *6* kids drafted in 2016. Six. Let that sink in.

Sure.

1. Increase AFL squads to 65, remove rookie list but instead have a list of dedicated reserves players. Players can be upgraded or downgraded.
2. Include mid year AFL top up draft to replace injuries.
3. Fund AFL Reserves - perhaps sell the rights to the games to another TV channel. Ensure branding is consistent.
4. Merge SANFL with AdFL, make current SANFL teams the "Premier League", include promotion and relegation.
5. Remove/merge SANFL junior structure with AdFL junior development.
6. Instill Elite U18s 8 team comp for selected junior talent designed around AFL draft.

#3 is the hard one as others have mentioned.

You can still go and watch the Roosters play at Prospect and sing their song. Your kids can still play for them, but it would be more streamlined/sustainable and designed around ensuring the AFL is the pinnacle and the Crows and Power are able to be competitive with the other sides - not SANFL traditions.

so 6 kids drafted in 1 year and all of a sudden it isnt working? once again cherry picking stats to suit your argument. 1 poor year is no reason to hit panic stations surely? (insert "and dont call me shirley" joke here) in other years clubs have had 6 drafted just from the one side.

and you are still killing off the sanfl, for no benefit. what is with this determination to kill it off? you can do most of your suggestions while leaving the sanfl alone. and promotion/relegation? no thanks, this isnt soccer (that and North would surely be relegated to about div 8...)

and trust me, this isnt about watching my kids play. if they get their talent from me, they wont get anywhere near playing for the roosters (even at their current level)
