The never ending No AFL in the SANFL whinge thread

[UK Fan]

Port Adelaide “we will promote the league at every opportunity if you let us have our own sanfl team”

What a surprise!!!

Hang on folks, we need a balanced view on this.
Let me list all the advantages of having Port remain in the SANFL:

Pirate Life beers at Alberton games

(Can't think of anything for the Crows though)

What's the license fee for joining the VFL ?
Salary cap about the same as SANFL I think ?

[Doddy]

This gets brought up every year. Both arent going anywhere until there is an AFL reserves comp.

Agree, things in the SANFL would have to be pretty awful for them to move on.....cost being one. What would we guess the cost to be though......

Just some real rough maths and appreciating they could get some deals but if you had 30 people (21 players + 9 support staff) travelling to Melbourne ten times a year at $100 return the cost just to fly the team would be $30k. I would also say you would need one night stay hotel room given the current climate regarding flights/cancellations etc. If you had 2 players a room for 10 away games at $100 that's another $15k.

Then presuming their might be some add on costs such as buses to and from hotel, potentially paying for players food/drinks, potentially increased staffing wages to pack up/pack down equipment etc for travel.

This is also on the presumption the AFL cant align all Power reserves games with their AFL teams, there would be cost savings if they could be aligned.

Your tally is based on 10 away games? So there are 10 or so occasions where similar costs are imposed on the other teams in the comp to play here? Do Port (and maybe the Crows too) cover those?

[whybother]

But it's not about winning anyway (not to them it isn't), it's all about "grooming."


In other areas, you get in a lot of trouble for "grooming"

[Hazydog]

I would be most pleasantly surprised if they left but it’s much more likely to be the usual posturing for yet more concessions… and we all know how that usually ends..

[southernbulldog]

Hopefully the SANFL call their bluff and get rid of them .
Contrary to the delusional Port supporters who think the Magpies still exist we dont need them

[southee]

Kochie looking for excuses for their failure for the 2022 season (the master of diversion!!) :

(1) bringing the constant yearly prison bar jumper issue and (2) Port reserves not getting a fair deal by the SANFL and having a sook that players are not developing (they are paying nothing to the SANFL but the Crows do pay $$$ to play in the competition).

What made me laugh more was Roo and Ditts on Triple M this morning saying the SANFL would be irrelevant if the "Magpies and Crows" left the competition. They both did not even challenge Kochie at all. Just seemed to agree with him saying Port are getting a poor deal by the SANFL.

Honestly, I am sick of hearing from Port. Take your bat and ball and P$$$ off !!!!

[Vamos]

PAFC exists, delusional to think otherwise.

[southernbulldog]

For years they got their own way and now they sook and whinge because they cant have things their own way.They anted to be in the big league .So bugger off

Tried that and one of the sides you support was born.

[southernbulldog]

The Crows can go as well

[stampy]

koch is a ******* ****!!!! he whinges about their reserves not getting support!! that wanker has a short memory!

the sanfl paid the club nearly $18m to stay alive whilst they held the licence!!!

SPARE ME FFS........

Therein lies the problem with the reporting of this issue. Most media types appear totally unaware of how little the cancers bring to the SANFL. Hardly surprising in the case of these two bozos, of course.

as for riccutio and dittmar claiming our comp would be irrelevent without the two reserves sides i have four points to make

1.2020, they werent allowed to play, it was a close, magnificent (albeit shortened) season

2. Riccutio has absolutely no respect for the sanfl, has proved it time and time again

3. Shittmar still calls the power reserves the magpies!, shows his intelligence level

4. it is those two gronks who are irrelevent when it comes to sanfl, they simply have NFI!!

Have been told by a West Adelaide supporter mate that Roo won’t even go near the club at all.

He has no time for the bloke.

The bloke played for little over a year for Westies before spending the rest of his career at another club, that's not unexpected that he doesn't go there.

Will be an ambit claim to get more concessions

Or to hide the fact that Lokan cant F***ing coach
