Hey guys i think you have the ladder wrong on the front page, should it read

P W L D PTS
1. Centrals 2 2 0 0 4
2. South 2 0 2 0 0

3. Norwood- who gives a f**k
4. North- who gives a f**k
5. Eagles- who gives a f**k
6. West- who gives a f**k
7. Sturt- who gives a f**k
8. Port- who gives a f**k
9. Glenelg- who gives a f**k

Someone should produce a half South, half Central guernsey. I'd wear that to the remaining North matches this year!

South and Centrals should be taking pre-orders on 2014 memberships tomorrow while the passion is overflowing. As Dr Nick Riviera would say "You can ching ching ching cash in on this tragedy!"

[topsywaldron]

While I will never attend another Eagles game after this season, in order to show my approval of South and Central, I may attend a game between the two in the unlikely event that it is played within 30km of my house. A neutral game at e.g. Adelaide Oval would be appreciated...

Save a space for me.

Reckon that from here on these two clubs should compete for the Integrity Cup.

Not a bad idea.

Everyone should donate what they would have spent on membership for their club to the winner of the Integrity Cup.

Deadly serious.

"Key points of the agreement include:
- The AFC will pay an annual licence fee of $400,000 ($50,000 per SANFL club) to be indexed;

And if they want to own their own license, surely they have to pay this fee regardless of which comp they play in?

Funny that the SANFL several months ago regularly trotted out the line "The AFL reserves situation won't be addressed until the license buy back arrangements have been put in place".

The local car thieves will have a field day when the Crows play at Elizabeth, those Camrys will stick out like dog's balls

[whufc]

Maybe Centrals should tell Dowdell, Osborne, Orval they dont have a place at Elizabeth anymore and to claim some coin in transfer fees for them now.

Wait for the killer sting in the tail. Who's taking odds that the Crows won't have to pay the SANFL for their AFL licence now?

Any chance the Dogs could entice Chris and James out of retirement just to play the games against the Crows? I very much doubt they'd need to be given any instructions, they'd know what to do...

Only if you lot let Joshy Coulter off the chain after massive weekend bender from him.

[Macca19]

So what are the league directors going to say next year when membership drops by 10-20 percent?

When crowds are down 20-30%?

It'll all be too late.

Personally, I think talk of memberships and crowds dropping by so much are being overstated. There might be a small drop, but for every person who hates this and refuses to go to games anymore there will be 99 who don't give a shit.

My lot wouldn't dare do anything that might upset the Crows. I'm sure we could talk Josh into taking dump in the Crows coaches box though

Once the emotion gets vented you're probably right.

Having said that, the selling point of having big crowds at Crows reserves games is laughable. How many Melbourne based AFL supporters turn up to watch their ressies in the VFL? Crowds are non existant.

Bullshit.

Yep people have so many different options they can do now rather than 10 years ago, shops open, pick up work, save money, watch foxtel etc etc.

This isnt the era for pissing off the consumer they have lots of easy options to take.

Macca, the ones who don't give a shit are the ones who pissed off to the Crows/Power years ago.

Those who remained have a little more spine than you give them credit for.

You know me. You reckon I'm bullshitting when I say I will never - NEVER - go to a Crows game in the SANFL?

[Cambridge Clarrie]

How many supporters will actually walk away from their club now that it is done and dusted? I doubt too many

There's plenty of people rightly pissed at present, but I reckon once the smoke settles people will try and look at it more rationally. I know I've tempered my view in the last fortnight...

Life without going to watch Sturt vs Glenelg, South, Eagles, West, etc is pretty much unfathomable.

[Dutchy]

While I am furious right now, its going to be hard when Glenelg start playing again in 2014, I honestly don't know how I will feel or what I will do then.

This year I was given an SANFL Season pass for free, but still bought my Season membership to help the club out like Ive done every year. I highly doubt Ill be a member in 2014 which ever way I feel.

[UK Fan]

I take it all back Norwood FC .

You are still a bunch of C@&$s !!!

Worse case Scenario for me. Pharksticks are in and I can't be upset with centrals for it. Still torn on what to do next year might have to give centrals the old "it's not you it's me".

Watch your back Slaven Chigwidden. Tripodi benson bohdan .

I look forward to speaking to the west president personally at the half time function. Saturday

Well done centurion and LEH plucky and all who tried . We were always up against it.

I actually fear for Norwood board members walking past fester. Seriously !!!

Give it with both barrels fester I'm sure u will.

If I ever see trigg/olsen/whicker/chapman In the street I seriously don't know what I would do !!!

Feel for the port magpies supporters. Hated having to text them tonight to let them know the result .

Very proud of centrals.

Atleast I got to see centrals win 9
