The SANFL grows and promotes football throughout South Australia from indigenous communities, school and club footy right through to League level.
We are the custodians for footy in South Australia and as such, we are the organisation that works in the best interests of football to realise its full potential at all levels.
It is a significant responsibility, as football is an industry that generates half a billion dollars to the state's economy annually and employs 1500 people - and it's a game that is played and enjoyed by hundreds of thousands more.
The SANFL's key objective is to build and protect the long-term future of the game at all levels - the ten SANFL clubs, and the game at community level throughout South Australia"
See if you can get an adult to explain the above to you kickinit. The answers to all your questions are above. A big hint the first sentence. You'll note it doesn't state (accept AFL) anywhere.
I fully understand what was posted. As you said the big hint in the first sentence. Did you notice that the last 3 words? IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA. Meaning they are the governing body for all competitions in South Australia. The AFL is a Australia wide competition. Just so you understand.
ACT and NSW governing body is AFL NSW/ACT
NT governing body is AFL NT
Queensland Governing body is AFL Queensland
SA governing body South Australian Football Commission
Tasmania governing body is AFL Victoria
Victoria governing body is AFL Victoria
WA governing body is WA football commission
The SANFL only have a say on the leagues that based in SA, anything outside of this is out of their control e.g. the AFL. The AFL is the governing body for Australia Football and that is why all of the governing body listed above follow the laws of the game, which are set out by the governing body the AFL.
Wrong .
The SANFL control all football leagues in SA!!! The SANFL sanctions AFL games in SA. Without SANFL approval AFL in SA would not exist. It's a working agreement the AFL negotiated with the SANFL to have its game played in SA. Because without SANFL approval guess what ????
Do you want to know why the SANFL sanctions AFL games in SA ???? It makes the SANFL $$$$$
Go thru my questions one by one and ask yourself ??? If the AFL controls everything in its league.
Why did the SANFL choose who it gave AFL licences to. Why didnt the AFL choose ???
Why did the AFL pay for control of SAs-AFL licences ???? Why didn't they just take control of the AFL licences and save themselves $15 million.
Why isn't Alberton allowed to be used for Port home games ???
Why is the SANFLs salary cap higher than every other state leagues when the AFL wanted them uniform nationwide ???
Why doesn't the SANFL have a melee rule if AFL sets the rule in Australia ??
Why hasn't the AFL elected who is on Port/Adelaide's board FFS???
If something happens in aussie rules in South Australia. the SANFL are apart of it even AFL. Otherwise it's not official.
You have to be the dumbest man alive not to grasp this concept yet.
