I'm more interested in Callinan specifically and how Centrals fans see him and his decision.

As a centrals supporter it disgusts me along with the whole concept. Though nothing against nutta.

I would rather see any centrals player playing the highest level, or giving themselves the greatest chance of personal development.
So for younger players that means playing in the AFL environment year round - I think it's a no brainier that this is a good thing for them.
For someone like nutta, opportunity to captain as well as development and coaching roles make it a no brainier for him too. So good luck to him I reckon
I think what has everyone up in arms is that for the first time the paradigm shift that happened 22 years ago is finally codified - the SANFL is primarily a breeding ground for AFL players. I, for one, don't think this is a bad thing, and I don't think it diminishes the importance or the integrity of the league either. It's just different. Once the season is underway I think it will be business as usual, save for the inevitable "OMG the crows reserves are top/bottom"
