Just reported on 10 news.

"To streamline ports supporters base"

The comedy at ONEPORT continues.........

As mentioned by others posters no blood on sanfl hands now. ;)


Les Stevens spray against pafc makes more sense now.

So what happens to the Magpie Metro and Country Zones?


Clearly the to kill the maggies is the easy option but there could be worrying times for Sturt as well......

The SANFL wants an 8 team comp by 2014 but it may not be the PAM who disappear

Merge Sturt and South. It is a merger that should have happened in the early 90's.

Centrals will focus solely on the Foxtel Cup from 2014 onwards. You heard it here first.

One minute you're saying Aisten mentioned Sturt as a possibility, then this.
Just heard something?

Yep. And it's pretty obvious who it will be :-)

For those who didn't see the sport report. The main story was port magpies is the sanfl club who are moving on.

At the end of sport segment aiston was pumping up ten news fb page.

Was advertising how you can make comment on the story "sanfl culling back to 8 clubs" . He simply mentioned "it could be port magpies or sturt" .

Looks like a couple of posters will owe mr Waldron an apology :-)

yes, great idea.!! they could wear navy blue and white, be called the panthers, and play their home games at hickinbotham oval.

Also if you think Sturt are the only sanfl club in financial difficulties.......i think you should look a bit further :rolleyes: my information is there are 3 other clubs not going too well.............

Perhaps sturt knew something when they started looking at Mt Barker as a home base, a move into the Hills League perhaps :roll:

If the AFL takes over the Port licence, it's the Magpies.

If not, then it's Sturt.

Would be a shame to see either go. Can understand if Port's heart is not in it given they are just little brother to the Power. Everything must be done to keep Sturt alive (as much as I can't stand them!) and the rest of our clubs.
