I think no salary cap in the SANFL would be great. AFL would disagree though and there's also the small problem of half the clubs struggling to pay the current salary cap
Country clubs have already been faced with the scenario of do we pay the big bucks to an import or start paying a talented local who gets chased by other country clubs.
Why does it matter if the standard of the SANFL drops? You still follow your club, you will still celebrate a premiership. Infact if the standard drops alot the Crows might faaark off
Having no salary cap in the SANFL would certainly suit my club, but then it will just turn out to be a similar set up to the EPL where the rich clubs pilfer the smaller clubs and you end up with 5 genuine favourites and the rest can please themselves.
I am with you regarding still following my club no matter the standard of play, but what about the average supporter who still wants to be entertained?
Unfortunately your last statement is a fair way off yet, atleast until the AFL bring in a national reserves comp. Don`t hold your breath
