The never ending No AFL in the SANFL whinge thread

[Booney]

None. Nadda. Zilch. Zero. 0.0. NULL

I last went to one in anger in 1998

That makes you well qualified to have a opinion on the SANFL I guess

Again, morell has made it clear on several occasions that the SANFL is but one league in this state. "Football" in this state reaches far beyond the clubs vying for the Thomas Seymour Hill trophy. It's myopic to think it's not.

That's spent 300+ pages discussing AFL sides? Yes.

Hence the title.
Got it!
Thanks Boon.

How many people in SA are actually involved in an AFL club in a personal capacity apart from as a passive spectator??
Contrast that to all the volunteers required at the different levels (including SANFL) that the code relies on??
Who do you think is deserving of recognition? Professional sport generates the media and money (which the AFL spends anyway on it's fancies) but for virtually everyone in footy from player to volunteer who give of their time it ain't in an AFL setting.

Over 120,000 members between the two clubs. That's not passive, is it?

It is if it counts the number of ticket holders the clubs have. The number is impressive I'll give you that (and magically seems to creep up year by year)
but sport means a lot more than a bunch of seat warmers. I mentioned the volunteers that the code actually relies on because they are the people that deserve the recognition.

Well we're not interested in your opinion then, cheers.

Magically? Unbelievable that membership numbers would rise as the population does...

What's your point, I'm missing it.

Lots of us should stay out of the EPL, MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL and some the AFL threads by that measure.

I'm qualified to talk about AFL, SANFL, SAAFL and beer.

Nah, I've never been a fan even when I was a passionate follower and member of a Rugby League club. It stems from the fact in the early 90s the Raiders had about 5 players in each side and I was just hoping for no injuries. I preferred Australia games.

Curious.

Hmmm, while you seem to understand that football in this state reaches beyond the SANFL, you fail to understand that we are discussing the AFL's presence in the SANFL specifically. So regardless of your unwavering love for Port Districts and Port Power, if you haven't attended a SANFL match since 1998, actually hate the SANFL and have no regrets that the traditional Magpies have alienated the 3,000+ fans that stuck by them, how can you then claim to advise what is best for it?

I think its your turn @Pseudo

No thanks Dutchman. You and the others have fed the troll too much already. I'll post here when I have something germane to the thread, viz. a whinge about the garbage infesting our league.

I think they just don't want to hear it. Not even an "Other; Please type" option.
