The answer is no Centrals were not an AFL reserves side last year because we are not 'one club ' with an AFL side
And the reason your club is now called the Power is because it was happy to sell its identity to get in with the rebranded VFL
If your club had as much pride in its emblem and colours as Eddie did you may not have had to sell your identity.

It's such a bad thing that our club wanted to play in the best competition in Australia? Port Adelaide joined the AFL because it didn't want to be stuck playing in a second rate competition. Port Adelaide had to pay a price and that was entering the AFL as the power and not the magpies, a pretty small price when all your true supporters knows it's still the PAFC.
The only difference between this year and last year, is now all those players that we have spent money and time developing will now be playing for us.
Face facts WHUFC the AFL is the best league in this country. The SANFL will always be a second rate comp which will never change no matter how much you cry about it.

Why would I leave? I support my club no matter what, i'm not what you call a weak supporter. But it doesn't change my stance on what the competition is. Do majority of the SANFL jnr's dream about playing sanfl league footy or AFL footy? Do the most talented footballers come to play in the SANFL or go to the AFL? Face facts Jim when compared to the AFL the SANFL is a second rate competition. Saying it's not is like saying James Hird is innocent

The club doesn't have a view on it, because it has only been discussed on this forum. My personal view is no, we would leave the SANFL. The club wouldn't be in a position to keep it's SANFL side's and to have 2 AFL sides. The cost of putting in another side would be huge. Travel, accommodation, food, extra staff and extra player payments quickly adds up. I would think that port current setup would be cheaper then just the AFL and the AFL reserves comp. I don't we will never see a AFL reserves comp due to the impact it would have finically on some of the lower end clubs, especially the way the AFL CEO contract works.
