NO AFL IN THE SANFL BANNER WEEKLY UPDATE

[therisingblues]

Yeh, the whole stadium riots each time it appears. I hear U2 are working on a song, "Eric Bloody Eric".

[kickinit]

Wont start as many fights as it will if the AFL get reserves sides in the comp.

if you don't support it then why would you go?

I will always attend Norwood games just like I have for the past 35 years despite who the opposition is but I can tell you now that I will be more vocal and abusive of the Power and Cows players and supporters.

Yep wouldn't be a good mix of supporters who are there passionately to see their team win and grab the two points while the other set of supporters won't give a damn about the result continuously especially if they start losing making references to their side only being a reserve side etc etc

just like any support your team is out there to play and win, and every supporter should support them no matter of the opposition.

The "one team doesn't care about winning" thing is complete bullshit.

[Jim05]

Couldnt stant to hear the Cows supporters scream "Ball" everytime the opposition touches it

Dont agree
As a member of Essendon for 30+ years and going to numerous reserves game I can tell you the club does not give a crap about the reserves winning. The supporters might but the club doesnt. The senior coach tells the reserves coach what position and what ammount of game time each player plays, winning is purely secondary. The ammount of Bendigo/Essendon games ive been too where players are played out of position or only play 10-15 minutes is unbelievable.

but because that's the way essendon is does it automatically mean the crows and port will be the same.

No it doesnt but the feedback I hear from other teams is very similar. Dont forget the Vic sides have had this system for years.
Doesnt Port already demand what position players play now?
Seem to recall the Port coaching staff telling one of their players to come off the ground a few years back at the Parade because he was only meant to play a half.

I do recall something like that. But who is the team paying the players salary? A lot of players coming back from injury play 1 or 2 weeks of half games. From what I see though shouldn't you then want the crows and power to have their own reserve side, then you won't have to worry about afl player playing half games?

I think we'd most of us be fine with that - for the millionth time just not in the Sanfl.

where do you think all crows supporters over 30 came from?

why not? if you where a true supporter you would support your club no matter who they are playing. So the only thing that will effect your club is they will loose a couple of players that have afl contracts.

Mostly Bays supporters id imagine, considering the side was made up of them.
I dont actually know many Norwood supporters who support the Cows

[on the rails]

What are you going say kickinit when your team the Magpies has to leave the league comp and turn into the Power Reserves playing at 11.30 each week in the SANFL Reserves? That appears is the only option for AFL Reserves in the SANFL comp that the 8 SANFL Clubs will even entertain!

[Wedgie]

Surely we have enough topics about the reserves issue that people can post in, this topic is about Eric. I'm interested in Eric but dont care about the reserves so leave our Eric thread for Eric!

[stampy]

who the duck is eric anyway?

i'd hazard a guess and say just as many from norwood mate

As a true supporter of my club and the league in which it plays I will never - NEVER - go to watch them play a circus game against a rubbish AFL team.

If you where (sic) a true supporter of the SANFL then you'd do the same.
