How about compensation for breaking the 15-year contract?

Not that I would expect the tossrags at the SANFL to pursue any compensation in the event that the garbage actually did exit the league before the contract was complete.

so let me see if I have this right...
1. You want them out of the SANFL at any cost
2. AFL are planning to get out of SANFL
3. You want compensation because they are breaking a 15 year contract
4. If they stay and honour the contract, revert back to step 1.

I'm excited that the SANFL will no longer have the AFL teams involved in the competition.

I think this is a great opportunity for the SANFL to once again market itself as its own league without AFL involvement and could potentially bring disgruntled supporters back to clubs.

Its the next generation that will kill off the SANFL. No one under 25 really follows it now unless they know someone playing. No port or crows will mean no interest from kids and now they can see their reserve players before the league game they have no reason to look at the sanfl. Where are top up players coming from or if they increase list size. Standard will drop then even less interest from younger fans

True point about the lack of kids' interest, although Port and Crows kids are not flocking to watch the up and coming players in the SANFL. This is ultimately a policy question for the SANFL and clubs to work out how and where to position itself. It's probably it's most challenging task going forward.

The SANFL comp may dissolve, weaken, or even die in time. So be it, better to die on its feet than live in its knees.

You know, there could even be spot available for Carlton to join the SANFL if they continue their perpetual lapse into irrelevance.

Where does it leave the likes of Glenelg and West who could lose, immediately, $100k+ from their bottom line ( $50k from Adelaide and whatever they get from sponsors through the C7 deal ).

Is that the bit about "Centrals need to stop being part of the problem?".

Something along the lines of
'We know what the problems are Roy, we need solutions blah blah blah....and all i hear from Centrals is whinge, whinge, whinge

But Centrals to their credit (with South) voted against it....they can whinge as much as they like.

Personally, I want the garbage out of the league without condtion or qualification.

Nevertheless if the Clowns leave themselves in a legally questionable position then I say screw 'em for all they've got. Continuing to honour their agreement and pay each of the dinkum clubs $50K a year for the next decade might go some way to undoing the damage that their presence has wrought on the competition.

The Smears, OTOH, would seem to owe the SANFL nothing. Kick 'em out and be done with it.
