Port writes to AFL over SANFL grievances....

I though this was a joke when I first read it in the The Advertiser.......

[b]Port Adelaide writes to the AFL over SANFL grievances[/b]
An angry Port Adelaide has written to the AFL complaining of unfair treatment after the SANFL banned medical substitutes from playing in its competition.
Port says the State League’s decision “compromises” its ability to develop talent in the same way as interstate rivals.
Both Port and the Crows wanted the SANFL to align with other state leagues, including the VFL, to allow the 23rd men to play at state level in the same round.
The Adelaide clubs believe a lack of game time will hold back their younger players.
Port general manager of football Chris Davies – who used to be the chief executive of the SANFL – said it was yet another example of the state league “picking and choosing” parts of the AFL rules to suit them.
“When the AFL announced the medical substitute rule it specifically stated that the substitute player would be permitted to participate at State League level regardless of whether they were activated during the AFL match,” Davies said.
“The SANFL have disregarded this position, putting them at odds with the AFL.
“This rule has been adopted by the VFL and the WAFL and the SANFL’s decision means there are now 16 clubs operating on one model and two on another.
“Unfortunately this issue is a microcosm of what we are facing with the SANFL on an increasingly regular basis.
“The AFL introduces rules and regulations to the state leagues under their auspices, designed to assist in the development of the game and the talent within it, with the SANFL picking and choosing the parts of the rules and regulations that they accept based on the position of the SANFL at the time.”
Davies said other “differing rules and limitations” Port faced because of the SANFL included;
■ ACCESS to state league contracted players,
■ THE ability to play Next Generation Academy and father-son players in the Magpies side before they are drafted and the number of games that qualify prospects, and
■ DIFFERING RULES: such as the stand on the mark rule, third man up at ruck contests, last touch out of bounds and the medical substitute.
“We’re now at a point where we have written to the AFL to highlight that these issues, when grouped, see us competing under materially different conditions to those of our AFL competitors,” he said.
“There can be no denying that the current environment compromises our ability to develop the talent available to our playing list when compared to our competitors in the AFL competition.”
On Tuesday SANFL chief executive Darren Chandler said the ruling was made “in line with the current SANFL rules”.
“We appreciate their position and obviously they are looking after the best interests of their players and playing group, but we have to balance that with what we believe is right for the SANFL, the integrity of the competition, which is really important,” he said.

Hard to believe the arrogance of Port here. It's all about changing the rules to suit them whilst not giving a stuff about the rest of the SANFL clubs.

They don't seem to understand that the AFL don't run the SANFL. If they don't want to play under SANFL rules then perhaps remove your team.

Funny how they aren't raising all the advantages that they get over SANFL sides.

LOL. Very true.

The power/port have always been delusional whingers, why would anyone expect anything less now. It will continue to get louder even when they have success, it wont stop until we can get them out of the league. The three things they complain about should never be negotiable, they already have more than enough advantages.

None of these problems would exist if we could just go back to Port Magpies and Port Power de merging, keep it separate how it use to be (and was a lot better).

When I woke up this morning and saw this in the newspaper I thought it must be the April Fools joke article.

If they don't like the rules, there's nothing stopping them going to the VFL.

where they can also play under different rules from the AFL. If the AFL won't introduce a separate Reserves competition for them, let them suffer.

There is, though. Plain and simple. Money. They couldn't afford to be in the VFL or a national reserves competition. And, the article is incorrect. Davies was NEVER CEO of the SANFL, and was never ever likely to be. He’s as deluded about his career prospects as he is about this issue. And, if he’s attitude to the SANFL is as quoted in this article. thank f**k he never was CEO. We want people in SANFL administration who are totally invested in the SANFL, not selfish pricks interested in one thing - themselves. He can take a running jump. Also, just remind us. How much is PAFC in debt to the SANFL?

Isn't the VFL playing anti density rules this year?

The AFL is a mess, so it will more than likely try and flex their muscles and say 'yes' to the Preserves.

A compromise on the rules has been reached by the League.

When playing against Port or Adelaide, the rules will revert to the AFL rules. Other games will not be affected.

Pretty obvious DOC was having a laugh there.

I mean, what sort of league would have different rules apply to different teams?

Next you'll be telling us some teams have twenty times the salary cap as the rest.
