The never ending No AFL in the SANFL whinge thread

[jo172]

The SANFL aren't the governing body, the SA Football Commission is.

Let's just clear that up so UK stops posting it.

And we should also clear up that the nature of a governing body does not give them supreme authority over a sport when being played by people not governed by that governing body

What do you notice about the last column? Do you see AFL as the major competition anywhere? What does that tell you?

The SANFL are the governing body for the state based competitions and affiliated leagues. Not for *all* football and especially not for the *national* competition. The AFL are not an affiliated league, Port and the Crows are not owned by the SANFL anymore. The SANFL have no say about what happens at AFL level other than perhaps being part of the SMA and having input on scheduling at the venue.

They're stakeholders and obviously have logical ties, but if you for one second think the AFL need to get the SANFL's approval to run an AFL Reserves comp you're utterly deluded.

It's like 1990 happened and everyone ITT just kind of forgot. Unbelievable.

I don’t know what you think I’m “utterly deluded” about. Show me where I’ve suggested that the AFL need to get sanfl approval to run a Reserves competition. They are the governing body in 6 of the states, Sure they can run a Reserves Competition.

No, they're not.

Just quoting the laws of the game

[Booney]

The SA Football Commission manages and controls the affairs of the SANFL, including its major financial investments and the appointment of committees.

Live and learn. Good for you.

Do AFL teams play under AFL or SANFL rules when in SA?

Neither, they play under the laws of Australian Football.

Correct, and whose document was linked?

He's currently Googling his arse off in the undergrowth to come back with a counter punch.

Geezus, who cares?!

I placed that link up yesterday a page back. You probably missed it.

Just reminding you of it.

Jtc has very calmly and precisely answered all of these dumb ass question over the last two pages about rules etc...

Have a read and see if you understand it. If someone could translate the logic to morell it would be appreciated.


SANFL looking to block port and crows joining the afl reserves btw.

You can keep ignoring that all you like.

[Booney]

Semantics and UK's lack of understanding aside, does anyone actually believe the SANFL ( SA Football Commission ) will tell the AFL what's happening with Port and Adelaide's SANFL sides and the AFL will accept it?

I go back to my earlier point, Port Adelaide is one of several clubs to state they have not had any discussions with the AFL about a national reserves competition, not since 2014 anyway.

Man I wish I was still stuck in 1989.

Listen to some Tears for Fears. Watch the Goonies and then Major League when mum wasn't looking. Pour over the Beckett only to realise my cards sucked. Play some knock off Pac Man on my Atari.

Good times man, good times.

It was a simpler time em dubs, back then the SANFL was boss and things were clear.

Then this whole fangdangled Victorian league came along and dang they just ruined it all!!

Soon enough they'll be running their own reserves league!

Don't they know the "N" stands for National!!

[Booney]

Tears for Fears, explains it.

[Magellan]

To distinguish the game of 'Australian Rules' from other codes who also went by the name 'football', if my understanding's correct.
