Booney, what are your thoughts on this matter,
do you think, with all these borders opening & closing all the time & with the constant threat of Covid outbreaks all the time, is it wise for the 2 clubs in question to field their teams in the SANFL? And I'm actually being serious lol
What would happen if we start the footy season, only for an outbreak to occur & travel bubbles are once again imposed?
What happens if we're 3 or 6 round into the season?
Do Port & Crows forfeit the remaining matches, resulting in their opponents winning by default?
Interesting stuff!
I think we now have 16 SANFL listed players. We have 42 on our AFL list.
If, by chance, another Queensland based hub was to eventuate ( I don't think this will given the nature of COVID response in Australia is completely different in mid-2021 than it was in early / mid 2020 ) then we would probably do what we did last year, take 30 or 32 players into the hub leaving 10-12 players here + the 16 SANFL listed = 26-28.
Allow for some injuries or quarantine etc ( 4-6 ) then we would have 20+ here in Adelaide with potentially only 4-6 of them AFL listed.
Given the situation I'd say the SANFL would rather us add to our SANFL list via local talent than remove us from the season.
Keep in mind the AFL removed the SANFL sides last year as it was all a complete unknown, in the end it was probably an over reaction but what were they to do? I'd imagine 2021 has far more planning and contingency plans in place if there were to be another AFL hub situation.
As each AwFuL linked club would have approximately half a full squad of SANFL players, is it possible that the Crows and Power reserves form into the one team, giving us a nine-team competition if Covid does intervene?

Reckon there's more chance of Apache taking the vaccine than that happening.

Over my dead body.
( No, that can't be arranged ).
Isn't that interesting. You are dead against (pardon the pun) forming a combined AFL reserves but quite in favour of Defiling our competition with 2 AFL Reserves team. Do the words hypocrite mean anything to you. Typical Port Adelaide attitude, every thing for you and nothing for anyone else.
Time to mothball the prison bars and wear the Power clash guernsey like a good AFL reserves team.
Get the F out of our competition.

Good to see you're not grizzling about your own mob for a change. Nice to see mate!
Which part of NO AFL IN THE SANFL don't you understand. We don't want you or the other Offal reserves team in our competition.
Don't let the door hit you in the arse (correct Australian spelling) on the way out.

Didn't get much excercise myself last year so will be cutting back on pies for a while.
