Crows in the SANFL - Q & A with the AFC

[Booney]

David,

Not so much a question, but an observation.

As we draw closer to the final decision being made by the SANFL league directors and the imminent admission of the AFC reserves side into the SANFL I ask one thing of you. If you have not already taken some of the feedback from this site to your superiors at the Westpac Centre one thing you can do, for sure and certain, you can tell them that the Adelaide Football Clubs motto of being "The Team for all South Australians" could not be further from the truth.

Never once has your club been the team for all South Australians and now through the actions of the last 6 months you have alienated football people, died in the wool football people, South Australians.They now have an extreme dislike for the AFC. Old proud clubs like Norwood, Sturt and Glenelg that have historic relevance to the football community is South Australia will suffer as fans, members and supporters walk away from the competition they and perhaps generations before them have grown up loving, the majority of them, South Australians.

Never did I think I would see the day when the bad guys of South Australian football were on the other side of Port Rd.

Was the unanimous vote required by your CEO a core promise or non-core promise?

It will need to be unanimous. There's no point going in if a club or a couple of clubs are dead against it.

some clubs are dead against it but too bad your club refers to threats to get what it wants. i feel sick that trigg was once a coach of the SFC.

Well said Mr Boon.

AFC is a dead set disgrace and its people like Trigg/Chapman/Whicker that are the real problem with sa football.

Given David hasn't graced SA Footy with his presence in 3 days, this little experiment may be over. The questions got a little tougher around that same time, which I am certain is a coincidence.

My kids will never barrack for the Crows if I have anything to do with it.

Same. If they start following the crows they are no longer my kids...

All I wanted was for him to publicly admit truth.... They did no ******* research regarding crowd numbers

He pretty much wasted people's time on here, much as i like to give most people the benefit of the doubt.

Everyone wastes time on SAFooty, with or without AFC.

I think David was in dire need of one of these to give him the required strength! It's the recipe for success remember!

[RustyCage]

I guess after 22 years of saying what they wanted and having the moron SA media lapping up every word they just assumed the regular joe would just do the same

SANFL may not be top of the pops for a majority of kids in the age group I work with (11-13 y.o) but I can tell you the Crows and Puffs are totally uncool, man. Actually I'm shocked and surprised how many go for interstate AFL teams - except of course the big percentage who prefer the round ball game, with rugby gaining ground every year

My son used to barrack for them, was brainwashed by his mother.
Brought him a Suns membership and guernsey for his birthday 2 years ago and have even taken him to Metricon to see a few games.
He cant stand the Crows now, even threw all his old Crows gear in the rubbish

The questions didn't get any tougher, they just kept going around in circles.

I wrote about the crowd "guesstimate" very early in the piece. We have backed ourselves to attract between 2000 to 6000 per game. There will be opportunities down the track to review the system if required but I think you underestimate the level of interest there will be in a Crows reserves side. Anyway, proof will be in the pudding. David

This doesn't match up with the stats the SANFL collects at Auskick clinics or on school visits. Crows and Port dominate the landscape.

Sorry if I didn't produce the answers you want to hear. The Clubs have enough information to decide if this progresses or not,we will all know in less than 24 hours. David
