Small scenario, West Coast v Adelaide in Perth, how do Adelaide have the resources ( coaches, support staff, players ) and funds to that weekend play Southport in Brisbane?
Presumably they already have the coaches, support staff and players, since they already field a reserves team.Booney wrote:There's some fairly significant ones that you've clearly missed.mighty_tiger_79 wrote:No reason why crows and Port can't join the east coast league and leave the wa clubs out of it

If the SANFL doesn't let Port go to the VFL, what is stopping them? I doubt that the SANFL has the wherewithal to prevent it.Dutchy wrote:IF the SANFL let Port go to the VFL, what is stopping them?
Adelaide and Port Adelaide staying in SANFL next season
Port Adelaide and Adelaide will remain in the SANFL next season after the league agreed to address the clubs’ long-held concerns about list concessions and fixture equality.
The clubs’ attempts to join a new national state league or the VFL will be shelved for 2025 after talks on Wednesday involving the AFL reached a resolution on key fronts.
It is a major development for South Australian football as the Power had led the mission to break with more than 155 years of history and exit the league over the past six months.
But key concessions remain central to a new agreement which will help the two clubs field stronger teams in the SANFL, and more broadly, help bolster the clubs’ development programs.
Port Adelaide and Adelaide occupy the last two spots on the SANFL ladder with only three wins between them for the year from 19 matches combined.
Importantly, the Power and Crows will be given more flexibility to add quality top-up players to their SANFL side next year in line with the Victorian’ clubs allowances in the VFL.
The two South Australian clubs have argued the restrictions on their top-ups are an impediment to their players’ development prospects and leave them with weaker sides.
There is a strong view Victorian sides have an advantage over their South Australian and Western Australian rivals due to the superior strength of the VFL as a state league.
Additionally, the two SA clubs are also expected to make strong requests around their SANFL fixtures for next year which will help them get more game time into their AFL-listed emergencies.
The two clubs are frustrated by clashes with their AFL and SANFL fixtures which sometimes prevent their AFL emergency players from playing at either level or on reduced game time.
It is expected the two clubs will be heard on their fixture requests for next year otherwise Port Adelaide and Adelaide will reconsider their position on the issue.
Both clubs have a contract to play in the SANFL next season but there was pressure on the AFL to either find a resolution to their problems or add them to the VFL 2025.
West Coast and Fremantle will stay in the WAFL as the AFL continues its work on a competitive balance review designed to overhaul the draft system and father-son and academy bidding.
The league is also expected to loosen some restrictions on the clubs in the trade period such as allowing them to trade future picks two years in advance.
Currently, clubs can only trade future picks one year in advance.
Port Adelaide has made clear it wants to stay competitive and push for finals every year rather than accept a rebuilding phase which includes a major draft focus and years at the bottom of the ladder.
It means the Power is again expected to be a key player in the trade period at season’s end as GWS Giant Harry Perryman weighs up interest from Victorian clubs including Hawthorn.
The Crows have come under pressure after a poor start to the season.
Why would they when the sanfl give them everything they need.RB wrote:If there are that many frustrations with the SANFL, just **** off to the VFL FFS...
