I'm not south Australian because I follow a team that has been apart of this competition since day 1? Seriously my 10 year old niece doesn't even cry this much. You don't need a good reason to keep following, you need to walk away so the rest opus don't have to keep listening to you cry about it.

It's the first year of two full time professional teams playing in our league. Watching yesterday's game I still can't understand how they're allowed to play in our league. The licenses are sold, we don't need them, though they may need us.
maybe the introduction of the afl reserves clubs will help lift the 8 sanfl clubs up another level and we will have a better sanfl comp and better afl teams, I hope so

How will that happen? Make the players full time footballers, supply them with the best medical and rehab facilities? Have 10 full time assistant coaches, a 10 million salary cap, pre season in Dubai? How will they lift to afl level? I'm pretty sure they're trying to perform to their maximum.

So how long do you think the SANFl would survive without AO? I'd give 3 years max. Face it the only thing that has kept the SANFL alive is the AFL.

SANFL are part owners of AO and allways will be, if you dont like it play at Alberton. If it wasnt for the SANFL you wouldnt even still be in the AFL

Since when did the SANFL buy AO? Maybe you should go back and read the post before shooting your mouth off. To say Port and the crows need the SANFL is the biggest laugh out there. Why do you think we now play footy at AO? Why do you think the AFL didn't want the SANFL in control of the licenses? The AFL sides do not need the SANFL, but the SANFL does need the the AFL. Have fun paying for that LEASE if there was no AFL games there.

If you dont need us piss off and go find another comp to play in. The SANFL will survive without the two AFL reserves sides. The SANFL can quite easily live off the proceeds of AAMI and the rent from AO. Im sure with your new found wealth you could afford to put your ressies in the VFL and travel to Melbourne every second week

The sanfl has locked in the management rights at Adelaide oval, they've sold the afl licences and own the west lakes land. With these income streams and realised and potential cash injections, the sanfl no longer needs to bow to the whims of the afl clubs. The sanfl could tell the two AFLs teams to piss off out of our league and it would have no impact on this income. Hence, if they (crows and power) believe having reserves teams in the sanfl is of some actual benefit to their afl teams performance then they need the sanfl competition more than the sanfl needs them in our competition.

Because the soft and easy approach would be not to follow it anymore.

Which can be taken away from them at any time. The land at west lakes is going to take 15+ years to see any money injection. Plus you add the fact that SANFL clubs are struggling to make a profit.

You said it yourself JIM you need our rent money from AO.

I can't debate your first two sentences as I've never seen that mentioned anywhere, obviously you have to state it as fact.

Of course we want the money but you have no option in that unless you find a new ground. Whether or not your ressies play in the SANFL or not will not affect this. You need to be in the SANFL more than the SANFL needs you in it.

Im not sure that is correct. As a SACA member I was led to believe that the SANFL will be co-tennants for ever. I know both AFL sides are trying to get a voice on the SMA atleast but this has been knocked back so far. I dont think the day will ever come where the AFL or two AFL clubs have control over AO.

All it would take is for the AFL to start a ressie comp and then buy AO from the government. Then you know what that means bye bye SANFL
