Dont worry Devils advocate, its an easy out for these guys to say we are all tree swingers when we say something they dont want to hear ! I dont know how losing 28% of your leagues supporter base will make the SANFL stronger. That makes good business sense :roll:
Port to win by a point, and Elstone to pull a heartstring and cack his pants in the first 10 minutes !

Exactly. He's a money grabbing club slut with no heart or backbone.


It has been confirmed that he took a pay cut. He joined a more stable club with a better chance of winning a flag.
Enough of the sour grapes, he has left and you need to get over it.

Exactly. Plus I would have thought that the other 8 clubs would prefer Port to stick around as long as possible, because in the current state of play, we're haemorrhaging 2 ponts every time we play.

I'd say grass roots footy would also suffer, with fewer clubs being spread thin over greater catchment areas. This will result in a lower level of assistance and development opportunites, particular for younger players on an SANFL club's development program. That's a LOT of youngsters missing out on getting the opportunity to play at a higher level than their amatuer club.

Sugar coat it all you like, your club's well documented salary cap dramas suggest otherwise.

I would say North have a better chance of winning a flag this year than Port. So do the bookies.

By about October 8 this year, nobody will give a toss that North finished somewhere between 2nd and 9th in 2010.

Come on Booney, if that's the best reply you've got, log off your PC for the day. If you all were not bothered by his move, why are you b!tching so much, clearly you are gutted.

Perhaps before you tell me to log off you should read my actual contributions to this thread. If you can show me where I have bitched about it I'd appreciate it.

I hope that weak, money grabbing club slut gets more than a spray.

No backbone whatsoever. When the going gets tough, he **** off elsewhere.


You call him weak yet you hide behind your avatar and call him a "slut"? Pathetic personal attack without knowing why he left the Magpies?
Piss weak SANFL and the CLOWNS who run it.

These would be the same bookies that had South Adelaide at $41 for the Flag and finishing 8th. While Port were listed at $26 for the Premiership but finishing last? :-k

That's a bit rich coming from you given the only time you post is to sink the boot into all of us Port people.

But my identity has been well and truly publicised on this site, including me posting numerous photos of myself. I don't post anything that I'm not prepared to say to someone's face and you can be 100% certain that I'll be letting Elstone know exactly how I feel about him on Sunday - to his face.
