Tsitas has proved it's not necessarily detrimental to keep playing in the off-season. Could give footballers not in the AFL a chance to earn more cash. The SANFL would only have the NTFL and The Strikers as competition.

Do enough teams have decent enough lights to hold games? surely you wouldn't want games at 2:30pm on a Saturday in the middle of summer.

Footy is a winter sport, there are enough strengths and unique characteristics that make a marketable and sustainable competition.
The 8-10 year AFL player is unlikely to want to play SANFL post their career especially one who has been a fringe player like Trengrove and Grey due to the pressures. Let them find their niche in community football.
Still plenty of good young footballers that want to play SANFL footy.
PS re-reading an old Footy Times yearbook from the 80s, you realise the drift to to sue urban and country footy from the SANFL is not a new phenomenon.
Still the best footy competition in Australia, IMO

The only clue I will give is that the team is located near Colonnades Shopping Centre

Major difference being the SANFL was the number 1 ticket in town back then.
I love the SANFL but its really getting harder to see a positive future for the comp. An AFL reserves is only 5-10 years away and who knows what the consequence of that will be to player retention.

I can’t see a reserves comp in the next 20 years if at all.

No chance of a reserves comp. The WAFL look after 2 clubs, the SANFL look after 2 clubs, the AFL will make sure that remains in place and they only need to fund the expanded VFL.

The AFL’s dream is Former VFL clubs winning premierships with the occasional concession to an interstate club once a decade. Victoria is there biggest market they will prioritise that over others hence why unless a Victorian based club goes brown there will be no relocation to the Tassie or the NT.
The AFLs response to to Port raising this issue will be you can join the VFL but you have to fund everything yourself. We’ve got other budget emperatives
