But at least the WAFL is upfront as to what's going on and what's allowed: all of the nonsense ('$400 a game cap', 'leadership player', and for Port 'deferred leadership player who's our captain but officially we'd like everyone to pretend that he's on a quarter of what the 2nd-worst-paid SANFL captain is on in 2014') means that there is zero transparency on the basic question: What is the salary cap for each AFL club re its team in the SANFL competition?
Plan 'a' is still to boot out the Crows and tell Port Adelaide 'field a proper SANFL league side, or don't field a team in the SANFL at all; your call'. But if that doesn't work, rather than all of this arrant bullshit, give them both a SANFL team salary cap (I'd guess in the realm of $120–$150k would be fair) and they can spend it however they want.

The system Adelaide is using really is a mess, isn't it?

dedja and plenty of other posters think the Magpies will have no real focus on the SANFL season, I truly think they will. Having spoken to several people close to the groups, the Magpies side is set for a big year and has some certainty about the structure.
Adelaides is shambolic at best and diabolical at worst. Potentially they could be contacting players and clubs midweek between games looking for top-up players. I can see that set-up being laughable mid-season.

Please beenreal, I mean Booney. Port aren't concerned about the sanfl and haven't been for years. The only reason they are trying slightly harder than the Crows is the old port magpie supporters.

I believe so, but what happens if Adelaide suffer several injuries at either AFL or SANFL level? I imagine their pool of SANFL players wouldn't have 4-5 excess each week. If so, those players could go weeks without playing, yes?
