Sure, 8 teams makes for easier programming, but I think that the loss of the Magpies outweighs that gain though.
If it turns out that I am the only person who thinks these things then of course it is all irrelevant, but the amount of Port people at Magpies games seems to have dropped pretty far. I think we could boost our crowds by wiping the power muck off the Magpie and providing a place for the SANFL magpies in our league, I think that before the AFL reserves intruded that the Magpies were perhaps contributing about 2,000 supporters per game on average. The most recent blockbuster was Sturt/ Glenelg at the Bay, but I think we have had a couple of Norwood/ Port clashes that filled the Parade before then. I really think the potential loss of character the Magpies bring to the SANFL should be guarded against.
