AFL Reserves Discussion...

[Wedgie]

I like how we get a mention!

Here we go again!

Why does SA footy always try to make things seem harder than they actually are?

[Booney]

I like to keep abreast of what the "simple people" are doing at Alberton so it is nice to read it in the free press!

So you don't agree with the content yet choose to keep reading it? I could use one of Beenreals comments here.

I thought you were much smarter than that Booney

I like to balance my factual well reserached and structured reading with fiction and amusing rubbish and the PAFC are providing plenty of that re this debate! Mind you to be fair and balanced, Rob Chapman's claims re crowd numbers for the "Ravens" are equally amusingly rubbish and laughable!

Where would that come from.

The scripted SANFL directors comments?

The NAFC remarks, clearly screened by the SANFL?

Or on Adelaide Now with Michaelangelo Rucci?

[CUTTERMAN]

How can Port seriously call Port Magpies an SANFL team while loaded with their AFL players? They are really jerking each other off with this one.
Booney, what happened to the integrity of the successful "One Club" proposal that said "Port Magpies will never be used as a Power Reserves team"?
Not only are they bull sh!tting the public and the SANFL but also their supporters and members.....and they lap it up! Idiots.

[Macca19]

Was one of my all time favourites but wouldnt give him the time of day if I saw him now.
I hope he isnt welcome at Norwood anymore

Sook. Like he is the only person driving this. He's better off without people like you speaking to him anyway.

Oh really?
Sorry for not liking a guy who is trying to destroy the comp and club that served him so well for all those years.

Youre right, the Port Adelaide CEO should definitely run the club with Norwood in the front of his mind.

I dont recall it ever saying this. Happy to be proven wrong though.

As a Port Magpies supporter for all my 38 years of life and certainly NOT a Port Power supporter(why does everyone assume you have to be both).......and attending more Port Magpie premiership wins in that period than some people have attended minor round games........I certainly don't want the Power reserves playing in the SANFL parading as the Magpies.
Even though the real Port(SANFL Magpies) died a slow death in late 96'..............I have still tried to follow them since then.
For Port supporters like myself there is no solution to their current plight?
Unfortunately the life support the Magpies have been on since 97' is shortly going to be turned off forever!!!
F**k the Power!!
RIP the real Port.

An extract of what I sent to KT:

"A specific question I have for you is whether the retention of a zone and u/16’s, 18’s and SANFL reserves teams is a deal breaker for the PAFC? Would the PAFC walk away from its proposal to field an AFL reserves team in the SANFL League if it meant completely handing back your zone and losing all junior teams?

Much of the talk from the PAFC around keeping the Magpie heritage has been based around not wanting to lose 143 years of existence in the local community. I understand that. However I am saddened that both AFL clubs do not recognise that the current proposals would be inflicting huge damage on the SANFL competition. The SANFL has been in existence for 136 and is as much a part of the fabric of Adelaide and South Australia as the Magpies are in the Port Adelaide region. It puzzles me that the PAFC make much of their history and the need to protect it whilst at the same time are proposing an idea that would irretrievably change the SANFL competition altogether.

No individual is bigger than an footy club and no footy club is bigger than the game itself. It appears to me that both AFL teams think they are bigger than the game itself in SA. It is disappointing that as an SANFL Premiership player you appear to be supporting the view that PAFC is bigger than the game itself in SA."

Both articles from 2010.

"Will the Magpies be a Reserves team for the Power?
The Magpies will not operate as a Reserves side for the Power. Power players would continue to play for their aligned SANFL Club"

http://www.portmagpies.com.au/newsarchi ... ews_id=642
"The Magpies will continue to operate as a traditional SANFL club and not as a Reserves side for the Power, with Power-listed players still distributed throughout all SANFL clubs."

PAFC. Bullshitting the public since 1870.

Cutterman - Macca knew that, he is just as bad as the rest of the arse clowns who run that circus at Alberton!

You're onto us. We hatched the plan in 1870 and waited until 2010 to spin some shit that we wanted to implement in 2013.

Too good mate, too good.

[CUTTERMAN]

Well at least we know that he's happy now.
Always happy to inform a Port supporter with the truth as apart from PAFC propaganda, vitriol and hype.

Quite clearly doesnt say 'never' does it.

More deflection. Piss weak.
Answer the question.
What happened to the One Club proposal?

Backed up by more deflection.
