AFL Reserves Discussion...

[Disco]

Always said the bbq is better at Noarlunga.
Devastated.

[zipzap]

Is anyone surprised Trigg isn't standing by his word. How long has been back in the job?

How can you be surprised...disgusting

[areaman]

Well done South and (can't believe I'm writing this) well done Central.

Bugger it, I'm playing golf on Saturday instead.

[Sky Pilot]

Pretty ordinary decision. The six clubs that voted yes must have a hidden agenda. SANFL will change forever now. Awful

[spell_check]

#brightfuture my ****ing arse - they had a bright future last year, then shat themselves through their own volition.

[LPH]

Now that we know it's 6 - 2 & the AFC will enter the SANFL in 2014, what now for Port Adelaide?

Olsen stated they would be offered the same deal - is it the end of the Port Adelaide Magpies & the 'One Club' will now be 1 Club with no zones?

[Wedgie]

Well done South and Centrals, you have me on your members book from next year.
Bad luck North, say goodbye to my past sponsorships, presidents group fees, memberships, merchandise money, money over bar, functions, etc.
I envy South and Centrals fans, let's just hope the Dogs can pull one out of the bag and take out the flag this year since South are out of contention.
**** you other 6 traitorous scumbag back stabbing pathetic **** directors.

[RB]

Well done South and (can't believe I'm writing this) well done Central.

x2. If only one more club had stood up to the Crows...

[saintal]

Olsen: Although the vote was 6-2, the league directors were unanimous that they wanted the transition to be smooth. WTF

Olsen's a joke.

[csbowes]

Well its now up to the vocal fans on here as to whether they stick to their word and walk away from the league.

Port will remain as One Club. SANFL will now be One Joke.

A tweet just coming through from the South Adelaide Football Club "The #SANFL League Directors have voted in favour of an Adelaide Football Club reserves team joining the competition in 2014."

[Choaty]

Trigg, you lying piece of sh!t.

[zipzap]

Well done South and Centrals.

And congrats Crows for the 2014 Premiership which will undoubtedly follow

[Wedgie]

Probably go to the first match at Adelaide Oval next year to barrack for the Power.
Crows pieces of sh1t need to change their name to the disgrace of South Australia, may you rot in hell Trigger for not being a man of your word.

[spell_check]

Well done South and Centrals.

And congrats Crows for the 2014 Premiership which will undoubtedly follow

AFL or SANFL or both?

[puppet arms]

Kudos Central and South. Wish my club had the guts that you showed tonight. Sad night for the SANFL

Steven Trigg:

Crows CEO Steven Trigg said the Club was “thrilled” to proceed with its preferred option.

“It was critical to get all Clubs unanimous in their preparedness to work with us, regardless of how they voted,” Trigg said.

“All Clubs - including those who voted no - have extended that assurance. As we've said all along, that's critical to give it the best chance of success.

“We have had a long and very prosperous two-way relationship with the SANFL and we strongly believe this arrangement is the best outcome for South Australian football.

“We are about to enter a new and exciting era at Adelaide Oval and it is important that we all make the most of this opportunity.”

Trigg said a second team would provide the Crows with the best environment to be successful.

“The main benefits for us revolve around the advantages of having our own players together, playing with team-mates, being coached by our coaches on our structures and by our development staff,” he said.

“It’s clearly the best way to prepare our players for AFL competition and I think most football people understand this.

“A strong and successful Adelaide Football Club is critical for the health of South Australian football.

“But we also expect the Crows reserves team to generate significant interest in the SANFL competition and to provide a chain of benefits, wider media coverage, better TV deals, sponsorship opportunities, increased junior development and participation, and better crowds.

“And underpinning all of this will be our ongoing respect for the SANFL competition.”

I was impressed with the way Peter Alexander conducted himself at the South information night. Despite the crap that I've seen on-field this season, I will renew my membership next year to support the decision made tonight by the club.

God I hope we spank the Maggies on the weekend.

[Cambridge Clarrie]

Southee, will you renew your membership next year as a show of support? ...oh, wait....
