You come across like a clever bloke MW so I'll assume you are deliberately missing the point, but in case I'm wrong and you really aren't that smart, I'll spell it out for you.
Paying players more money doesn't make them better players.
Better players command a higher salary, just like in any other line of work.
Having a higher salary cap enables a club to attract the better players because it can pay more.
Two teams in a league where their salary cap is significantly higher than the other teams competing in the same league, have a significant advantage over those other teams.
So would you agree a team with a salary cap 100 times greater, (or whatever the exact ratio is), than another team in the same league has an advantage. Or more to the point, do you think it is fair?

If it was all the best players on Adelaides & Ports lists then yeah its totally unfair but thats not the case. Its mainly the 2nd tier & rookie listed players that play in the SANFL.

Yep I would be, as long as the other clubs with higher salary caps play only the reserves, kids, and top up players

If money decided who wins a football game, why aren't Crows and Port undefeated over the last few years?

And meanwhile their REAL side plays in a bigger league elsewhere, and their fans laugh at your club because it only competes in a reserves competition, and who gives a shit about a reserves competition, why the hell don't you move on you reserves follower two decades behind all of us big league cock suckers playing in front of the big flashy lights, doing exactly what the corporations tell us.

Because the competition is now contrived.
There is also the "give a shit" factor. Something that we were all assured would not happen when the Crows were begging to be let in, now their coach buggers off whenever he feels like it to go watch the real Crows play. No matter what the state of the game of the actual team he is being paid to coach.
Come on MW, we have covered all of this ground a hundred times over, do you still need to be told by the likes of me, again?

You do realise there are two AFL sides in the SANFL?
So you're upset that they are not winning?
