They are actually weaker playing 21 AFL listed players than if they have 1 or 2 top ups. The unco teenages that make up the last couple of spots are nothing compared to having guys like Summerton and Sharrad in there side.
Lets get real about it. Port and the Crows specifically asked for stand alone sides so that all their players can play in the same side with a common coaching pattern. Port were handed a couple of bonuses in getting an additional side as an academy side (who knows what that means) and home matches. If they had the same deal as the Crows Summerton and Sharrad would be playing country footy. They should not be using their reserves to win premierships.

Hats off to stan for using the word 'unco.'

I don't think the unco teenagers would be the last chosen. On the weekend it was the likes of Jasper Pittard that forced Summerton into the reserves. Had there been more injuries in the Power side, the top SANFL players would take their places, then there would be room on the park for Summerton. Those unco teenagers are there week in week out, unless they personally get injured. The irony of it is that Summerton seems to have more of a positive influence than even those on the very fringe of playing AFL.

What I was saying is that if Ladhams didnt play and Summerton came in the Port reserves would be much stronger. We are talking about a baby giraffe or a 200 game sanfl veteran.

North Adelaide utility Matt McDonough will play his first Macca’s League game of the season against West on Saturday.
Sidelined for most of the first half of the year with a chest injury, the former Richmond player has been named at half-forward after banking some strong form in the Reserves.
He has been joined in the 21-man line-up by former South defender Ben Darrou,and veteran George Thring, who has also had his good touch in the seconds rewarded.
Matt Appleton, Billy Lloyd and Jay Shannon have all paid the price for the Roosters loss to Glenelg on the Queen’s Birthday.

.
Tom Pinyon is a massive unit in the local leagues, be interesting to see him at SANFL level.
