AFL Reserves Discussion...

[darley16]

Posted earlier (many pages before) that i was confident South would vote no and i've heard nothing to change that opinion.

[Aerie]

Poll currently sits 25 in favour of No AFL Reserves and 1 Against.

Reminded me of this:

‏Interesting tweet this morning, presume Rucci has made some calls to clubs today....

@michelangeloruc 1h

@Adelaide_FC push for unanimous vote on SANFL entry for Crows reserves is slipping. Straw vote now 5-3 ... and the three against are growing

I listened to the start of the Saturday morning show on 5AAFL and David Wildy believes that South should blindly “conform” and vote yes because they have been an embarrassment for 50 years (can’t argue that). Hmm, great reasoning. Typical of the clowns on Adelaide radio.

I wouldn’t believe any vote count you hear in the media, especially from Rucci. He’s been stirring the pot for months. I’ve lost count of the number of times he’s confidently said the Crows will be accepted, even if he has pointed out the holes in their proposal.

If he's talking on field ( and for quite a while off field ) then Wildy should worry about his own before firing pot shots at others.

[LPH]

Wildy & Rowe are no different to Jarman & Tredrea or Ditmar & Roo (can't spell it )

AFL stooges because their overlords (3AW, Channel 7 & Fox Footy) pay their wages.

Of course he would say that, that's the 'party line' - never let the facts get in the way of a good story.

NO AFL in the SANFL

Rucci just said after meetings with Trigg and Chapman today Slaven is a NO.

[Harry the Horse]

Rucci is absolutely categorically 100% wrong on this.

Eagles are still voting YES.
If Eagles fans want proof - just ask him on Thursday night.

What changed?

[Apachebulldog]

Well that is good news if it is true.

Gee, if true, they must have really pissed him off today.

Yep he is confident the Eagles and South will be a No

If he's right that would make it 4-4. Please let him be right

Maybe the figures just dont add up
Eagles were probably voting yes from a financial point of view but maybe they realised the financial offer is an insult

Advertiser says most people at AAMI yesterday (an AFL game) says AFL reserves in SANFL is a good idea.
Surprise surprise.

But the important factor they didn't ask is how many of them attend SANFL now or will in future. Silence on that point.

That was based on 5 people at one BBQ in the car park ...

I will do so.

How the hell does anyone who even lightly follows footy in this state not know who Barrie Robran is?

And these are the same dickheads who think the SANFL will lose relevance and die without Crows reserve teams.

Ironically, so has David Wildy.

Talked to a Port bloke yesterday at a footy carnival in Cambrai who was arcing up at the SANFL denying Port entry to the SANFL comp for their reserves but allowing the Crows to enter unimpeded.

You couldn't make it up.

But apart from that, was kickinit a good bloke?

Of course they do. Friday's paper have a look at the footy liftout in the middle say 10 pages, 1 page SANFL vs 9 pages AFL.

The entire weekend's round of SANFL games has the same amount of space devoted to it as that nights North Melb/Geelong game
