Let's be honest there is an Irishman out there that has played 3 games and he is doing it a lot better then a majority of 'guns' from other clubs. The other 8 clubs need to work harder. The Maggie's aren't any better but gees they are a hell of a lot fitter.Jim05 wrote:Dols wrote:and 8 broke clubsmal wrote:Should the 8 A grade SANFL clubs be granted a higher salary cap as from next season ?
With so many clubs been raped , I think it might be time for a substantial increase
BIGger salary cap
More quality players recruited
Increase standard of the Comp
More ImPORTs v exPORTs is needed
Thats the only thing I agree with you on.
We cant afford it.
Much easier to peg back the 2 AFL sides and it can be done fairly simply IMO.
- No top ups over 23yo
- Cap AFL players to 12 per game

This is a serious question, so don’t take it as a dig but with the following, do you see the advantage gifted to you or would you consider having the below all part and parcel
Full Time Coaches, Fitness coach touted as one of the best in the world, Dieticians, Sports Physiologists, Fitness personnel, Doctors and Physios, Massage therapist , player e welfare managers, Million dollar facilities, Million dollar Fitness Facilities, recovery facilities, Million dollar Medical Facilities.
Full Time Professional AFL players averaging around 15 players per game with a combined salary of $2-$3 million dollars
Yes the crows have all of the above and I don’t give a shit as my club doesn’t nor does 7 other SANFL clubs.
I am not whinging because The Power is on Top I dislike the crows with a passion as well for playing in a comp and having these benefits and advantages.
And the thing that pisses every one of the most is you will not acknowledge the advantage given to your team.
You were granted an AFL licence, and good onya, but don’t use the resources of being given that and think you have no advantage or been given any advantage over your opposition. Most of the other items apart from the Salary cap could be taken that the club has worked to get those advantages. But unfortunately the Salary Cap can’t be.
Even Collingwood in the AFL have advantages over the comp in terms of $, but funnily enough a new word has entered the equation Equalisation, where the AFL has said we can’t have a team with that much financial clout and off field advantages although they have the same salary cap as the rest of the comp.
So the Brains trust at the AFL has seen how having a team with more resources will destroy their comp but for some reason you can’t see how it will destroy the SANFL

Port have the luxury of a world leader in fitness Burgess, most SANFL clubs can probably only afford some bloke from Anytime fitness to come to the club for an hour a week.
Imagine the outrage if two SANFL clubs suddenly decided to go and play Div 1 ammos, thats what the standard would be like

The models by which both sides have gained entry to the competition seem to have brought both scenarios into effect.
At least when Port was belting the bejaysus out of everyone in the old days, they were doing it under the same rules as the rest of us.

Yep, and reserves teams in the SANFL was never going to happen, was it? People kept bringing it up, and guess what?

All it needed to turn Port from a basket case to potential flag winner was 15 AFL players. Not much at all when you think about it

The thing is though, if port were also down the bottom there would be no whinging in this thread whatsoever. It would be "sucked in, this what you wanted." People worried about two (or three) sets of rules wouldn't say a word
Smells of a little sour grapes at this point in time. But also shows that it doesn't take much to turn a really bad side into a really good one. Bottom end depth vitally important.

Well, I heard from a person who would know that a recent get-together in Melbourne of officials from ALL of the State Leagues and major Grass Roots competitions around the nation, that AFL Reserves competition was discussed and could be back on the agenda with the National Competitions governing body sooner than people may think?
If not a National AFL Reserves comp, what is wrong with the Port Power Reserves (aka Magpies) playing the Adelaide Crows Reserves each week. It is only about develoipment for them, isn't it? That would work, wouldn't it?
Would certainly keep the supporters of the other eight clubs happy...

Nice try though.
