A 7 team competition would not work.

I’m a die hard but even I’m a little disheartened and disillusioned.

EDIT, as WB said


Maybe the pissweak SANFL will beg them to stay.

I think the SANFL seriously needs to think about opening spots up to Ammo clubs who maybe want to take the next step (if they exist)

Serious consideration should be given to allow Port Districts into the comp and removing Power reserves
With the upgrades happening at Largs Oval it makes sense from that perspective also

The sanfl needs a real team from the Port

Interest comes in different forms.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.
