Given membership numbers are down at the majority of the eight SANFL clubs and attendances are also down, both direct determinants of revenue , why or how is the fact the Crows the biggest supported club in the SANFL a good thing for the eight clubs whose competition it is?

At little or no benefit to the clubs whose competition it is.

I did notice Harper's presumption that they could just form a SANFL reserves team if they so wished.

Well that's debatable for sure. But it's funny how you just completely ignored the fact that you were wrong in the first instance

Interesting.
The people who have been adversely affected by these changes are the sort who support their club beyond just going to games.
They (used to) go to B&F nights, pre match lunches, player auctions and other events as well as selling raffle books etc for the club.
I'm not sure the clubs will be able to replace this sort of support from the casually interested people attending the AFL Reserves matches.
This issue is not just about what is happening this year - the longer term ramifications are still to be seen.
Maybe we'll be wrong and in 5 years memberships remain stable and most fans feel just as connected to the club and comp as they did in 2013 and before.
But if we're not wrong I bet that those who are claiming it's been a success won't be around to help clean up the mess.
