Personally, I've never been comfortable seeing this sort of stuff pointed at anyone without reasoned argument. It takes from the gloss of achieving what should be the primary goal of
every club participating in the SANFL. (Yikes, there's that 'integrity' thing again.)
You said it yourself...
Do you think with all this crap flying around about the premier "Eagles" and all their recruits and their salary cap, that the SANFL would not be closely watching and scrutinising their situation. The Eagles would be foolish to do anything underhanded
Good point, now as it was during Centrals' era. We heard years of this sort of "paper bag kings" tripe dating back well before this site in the old Footy SA days - and copped it sweet for much of it.
That and the oft debunked "pokie fuelled premierships" gem. I even heard some Dunning-Kruger case study banging on about that one quite recently on Jules Schiller's program on the ABC as the "reason" she supposedly stopped coming to local games 10 years ago. I think some serial dick head also lung-buttered that old chest-nut briefly on this forum recently too, can't be arsed finding it.
I hope that settles the dust a bit.
Oh, and that should be
