HANDS OFF THE SANFL!!!

[bayman]

would it be worth the exercise for philh & co (who have every stat known to mankind) to get andrew demetriou on air (suggesting 5AA as that'll get more airplay) asking him to clarify the afl's position & what they actually want & if it is a 'takeover' of the whole comp to a mere feeder league then hit him with some facts & see what he says............forget about rucci etc just go to the top

[Mr Irate]

With all the spare time Les has to dedicate to the topic I'm certain he will have an intricate working knowledge of exactly what the PAFC have been doing. You guys agree, Im sure.

Maybe ask him to join the PAFC management group.....he can't do any worse than the current mob and will get paid shitloads more than he does at Centrals.....and get a wopping great bonus.....

[hereselmo1]

Those "whopping great bonus' " have already been refuted by Mark Haysman. It amazes me how eager people are to believe bullshit rumors when they involve PAFC.

well if Mark Haysman has refuted it then it obviously didn't happen......a great day for the Port Adelaide Football Club......

Well done Les ,as a member of CDFC i totally concur with your comments its about time all CEO'S of the other eight SANFL clubs step up to the plate and give it to the media in this state, SANFL = REAL FOOTBALL the other code AFL is now a soft form of football due to the yearly tampering and rule changes which are made to accommodate the TV moguls who pass this insipid type of football to the TV masses, the AFL is just a voracious money making beast which has destroyed the VFL WAFL and nearly destroyed the SANFL however quite a lot of footy followers are finally coming to their senses and are returning to this great game yes
SANFL FOOTBALL the best in the land.

Well interesting that you have forgotten the "crap" the NAFC copped for their public stance on the whole PAFC "one club" concept which is all part of this plan by the PAFC to reduce it's debt. The North board is in the process of compiling a response to the continuing attack and baseless claims re the SANFL comp "bleeding" the AFL clubs which in the main is driven by Rucci and some other ill-informed "commentators" or by-line writers such as Rucciuto. Interesting that now the PAFC and Magpies operate under one financial model, part of the more recent funding / bail out by the SANFL to the PAFC and any future bail out by the AFL will effectively have one club playing in the SANFL being funded by the AFL if you want to get technical. No other SANFL club has or will be afforded that as a guarentee?

You also forgot that Matt Benson, Sturt's CEO came out publically a few weeks back and blasted the article and surrounding issues by Rucciuto.

"could", "likely", "may"......typical opinion piece by an apologist for the Port Adelaide Football Club, not a factual article by a journalist.....

....maybe this "Senior Reporter" could take up the point raised by OTR.....if the Power have no money "could" it be "likely" that the Magpies are now indirectly funded by the AFL....

....the sports pages of the Advertiser read more like a Port Adelaide FC newsletter....

Anyone with any financial nouse. An entity carrying that debt with the assets thay have it's pretty simple (for most).

[redandblack]

Stan, I'm happy to take over the SANFL debt and assets.

[HOORAY PUNT]

Stan you don't make sense. It's almost like a nerve has been hit with you mate ?

[Wedgie]

Leav Stan alone, he's a nice guy and admitted he made a boo boo, move on!

[stan]

Stan you don't make sense. It's almost like a nerve has been hit with you mate ?

Nah mate I'm all good, I'm just off the pace a bit at the moment. But in general its probably been years since I actually made sense

[HOORAY PUNT]
