The never ending No AFL in the SANFL whinge thread

[Spargo]

Nothing better than a good reach around to strengthen relationships

You the reacher or reachee?

Always bat first............

Not a bad toss to lose, all the same...

[Dogs64]

Please David Koc follow through with another pathetic "threat", and pay back the license fee as you leave.

"The Power president... said the state league’s management made Port feel 'a little unwanted'..."

Well yes Kochie, you and your bastard cousins are indeed unwanted in the SANFL. ******* off to the VFL would be most welcomed.

[Spargo]

Contracted to play in the SANFL until at least 2028
Very un-port like to want to break a contract...

[Ronnie]

There's a lot to like about Port but geez do they go on like a hard done by, petulant child.

[Booney]

I don't think anyone has actually read, or understood, the article.

[Ronnie]

Koch has recently called into question the integrity of the AFL and SANFL, or at least the basic fairness of both comps as to their treatment of the Ports. But the VFL will be no problems....

I don't think anyone has actually read, or understood, the article.

Do tell?

The part about ""Port feel a little unwanted, suggesting the AFL team's football department had lobbied to join the burgeoning national reserves"?

Or is it "when the SANFL goes out on a limb - unlike any other second-tier comp - with coming up with it's own rules that differ from the AFL's"? What like a 25 metre penalty that's been in for so long. Or the last touch out of bounds, which was done from my understanding at the decree of the AFL. Or is it not implementing the stand on the mark rule. Seriously, what a pathetic whinge. The SANFL doesn't exist to support the AFL teams!

Or are we not understanding when "Koch was scathing of the eight SANFL member clubs and the league in general, saying "the idea is to rig the competition to make the AFL clubs as least competitive as possible - but still close enough that their supporters come and financially help the SANFL" Coming from the scabs saved by the SANFL, when they keep losing money. This statement is so idiotic on so many levels. For "f&*( sake their reserves have made three grand finals in a competition rigged for them. So sick of their crap, just piss off out of our league, so we don't have to deal with them.

Is it time the SANFL sanctioned PA for bagging it. There must be a code of conduct for member clubs.

I feel sorry for them. It must be hard when the whole world is against you.

Funny this comes up I put a post up on a Facebook page after talking to someone somewhere can’t recall where . I said it wouldn’t cost either AFL team anything to join the VFL . And the admin of that page is tied up with Port Adelaide on the AFL side .
Told me whoever said that was absolutely wrong Port would never join the VFL
And Koch ports answer to Eddie comes out with this .
Could just be Port trying one of their SANFL tricks change the rules or we walk .
Honestly 2020 was far better without any AFL seconds sides .I can’t put that sentence on that Facebook page so many port people would get me banned

And a club that "exists to win premierships", winning one premiership this century, between two teams.

No chance port would ever pay up, they don't now. Turning into a joke of a club, always have been whingers but how ungrateful can you be. Would be great if they piss off, they can take the whinging to the VFL and get a similar response. Laughable.

Oh you mean like the VFLs anti density rule that all the AFL coaches hate

And the no limits on interchanges. Yep the VFL is exactly like the AFL. FWIW I bet the SANFL adopt the standing on the mark law next year.

So making three out of eight GFs is uncompetitive? Equal with Norwood and one behind the Eagles. Yep real uncompetitive.

Koch and Eddie are the Donald Trumps of the AFL industry. They use their positions in the media to put out simpleton sound bites and half truths that are then perpetuated and spread as “facts” by a large majority of their supporters who when you look at them you can see the wheel is spinning but the hamster is dead (not all as their is a minority of Port and VFL Magpie supporters like Booney who have an IQ well above a common garden vegetable). This is all done to create a narrative that suits their own fictional agenda and to put pressure on the governors of our sport to get what they want to the detriment of the common good of our National game,

F*** ‘em both and their mentor Donald Trump

am Bays well said about Eddie and Koch
If I was a port fan I’d be so embarrassed by Koch . But I used to live in the Port Heartland a few crazies down that way

[Mic]

Power pay nothing to play in the SANFL, yet still complain.

[MJP1993]

It’s interesting Koch is complaining about different Rules . How will Port go in the AFLW they have the last touch rule wouldn’t that upset their women’s team lmao .
Honestly I think this is just Port Adelaide doing what Port Adelaide did in the SANFL before they went into the AFL. You know like the little kid that stamps their feet until they get their way .
Koch so much like Eddie it’s awful

[Ronnie]

One of our Universities will surely start up a course, Critical Port theory. Exploring the structural deficits of the code of Australian Rules Football and how the code, at all levels, is set up to perpetuate injustices against people of Port background. Visiting Professor will be Dr David Koch (honorary doctorate in Media work and financial planning). The course will probably be run out of Sydney, as Koch would not want to spend too much time in a Port postcode.
