But it’s easier to ignore the truth if it doesn’t suit.

That you are paying a pittance to play in our comp and that the piddly amount you are paying has more than been offset by losses from people turning their backs on the comp

ok.
So the $400k p.a. is to pay for restitution because supporters loathe the AFL clubs being there and won't come?
So in reality, the $ amount is irrelevant isn't it?
From an SANFL purest point of view, it's either they are in and I am out, or they are out and I am in.

I thought it was $400k crows pay (each club gets $50k).
It should be a % of profit paid back to each SANFL club and not a set fee.
That’s a win/win surely for all.

What a surprise a crows fan expecting to be spoon fed from sanfl supporters
Yeah you're right, $400k to just play in the same league is not spoon feeding the SANFL clubs...

But also true for the AFL clubs in the VFL and the WAFL.
Unless you call for the likes of Essendon, West Coast and North Melbourne etc to also cough, then I guess its very easy to take a stand that has no consequence.
The answer is, for the members of Glenelg, Sturt, Norwood, West, North and the quitters to have the gumption to actually do something besides piddling around the edge and get the matter resolved.
South and Central members lobbied their boards.Centrals board members sought the view of ALL the other clubs and despite assurances, especially from Norwood who did the dirty. The other six and their members did nothing and are, to be frank, the ones who are culpable.

To be fair, I think the Eagles members probably tried as much as South's did, and were completely ignored.
I hear similar from North. correct me if I am wrong on that.

?
Vfl clubs get $250k for afl club reserves set up
WAFL clubs get $275 for afl club reserves set up
Sanfl clubs get $50k
Crows making $3.5 mill a year.
Thanks sanfl !!!
Absolutely, they should be asked to cough up and contribute more. I'm sure the Crows' brains trust will readily admit that their SANFL side has been a critical and integral aspect of the club's success in the last few years. Since no-one apart from the Crows receives any match day benefit from playing these games, they can at least compensate the clubs who are providing their less-than-AFL standard players with a genuine football club experience, or whatever internal benefits they claim their presence offers.
