What are those obvious reasons that many choose to ignore.
I think the most obvious reason that you are choosing to ignore is that we currently have 2 AFL reserve sides playing in the SANFL, both with a completely different sets of rules.
It's logical to question why one team gets home advantage whilst the other doesn't. The fact that the old Port Adelaide played home games at Alberton is irrelevant.
If the reserve teams play in the SANFL, and sadly it looks like they are here to stay, then surely it is in the competitions interest to have them playing by the same set of rules. In that context either Adelaide should have home games or Port shouldn't.
If you are using Alberton as being the home of PA then the same should be said of West Lakes being the home of AFC.
