These blokes put their heart, soul and money into SAFC and so long as every SANFL club have supporters of this character whose passion burns brightest when adversery strikes both our clubs and our comp will survive all VFL/AFL attempts to weaken and damage its brand. The SANFL clubs are owned by folks like Allan and Colin whereas those that wish to destroy it are owned by commercial TV and corporate identities.
