Stop whining and accept the reality of the situation. FACT - the SANFL competition is no greater than the amateurs or the nearly country leagues in the eyes of spectators. You get more people to watch a GSFL, HFL or BLG game or a Div 1 SAAFL game than many SANFL games.
Why pay $14 to get through the gate, then pay $8 a beer and then top price for food etc, etc. Cheaper to go to a country game or SAAFL game. Nothing to get in and $5 beers and a $3 BBQ. All that and the standard is not that much greater. The SANFL is a dying competition. End of story
Ha, "... sick of reading about the two AFL clubs being so bad, etc ..."
What did you expect to read in this thread?
You are aware the thread is a 'Whinge Thread', yeah?
Question: How is it fair, that a Club who finishes outside the Final 5 (i.e Port Reserves) are allowed to simply poach a Club's Leading Goal Kicker (with ZERO payment) & the Competition's Leading Spearhead (by definition the BEST Forward in the League), because they have a 'Senior Team' that has ZERO Salary Cap restrictions, due to a Rule that allows them to place him on their 'Rookie List'???
How many games will he play for the 'Senior' side, if any?
As I said, its great for the Player (& I wish him EVERY success in furthering his career) but in terms of INTEGRITY & COMPROMISE & EQUITY - its shit! If you think otherwise, I suspect that you are Mark Bickley in disguise!
