The exact same applies to me, only substitute North for WWT. I have lost interest largely due to not being interested in reserves.tipper wrote:lol, so the entry of the reserves teams, and the complete change to the fabric of the competition has no bearing on driving people away? its the very reason i have stopped going, and i know others in the same boat. up to two games a weekend are now a training run, why would i pay to go watch that? i never watched Norths reserves in the past, why would i watch a reserves league now?

I have given this AFL RESERVES debacle some thought.
I do not know if this concept has been thought of before but my idea is.
As the Magpies were killed off last year we now have Eight traditional SANFL clubs remaining.
I propose the the Power align themselves with FOUR SANFL clubs eg Central District North Adelaide Woodville West Torrens and South Adelaide.
The Crows align themselves with Four SANFL clubs as well Norwood Glenelg Sturt and West Adelaide.
Thus no more BYES as well.
Each AFL club will then allocate FIVE AFL players to each of the four SANFL clubs to which it is aligned to 4 x 5 = 20 players.
Those AFL players who cannot make the SANFL league team will also be able to play in the SANFL reserves.
With this set up the competition once again becomes a level playing field with every team once again under the same rules.
The only drawback is that their will no longer be a Magpie team but we must remember they were killed off last year.
Fellow posters what are your thoughts would this work ???????
No
Hey JTC don't get me wrong i am totally with you my first preference is that these two AFL interloping parasites FAAAAAARKKKK OFF out of our competition.
However should there be any involvement i would prefer the lesser of two evils and that is having FIVE AFL listed players allocated to each of the EIGHT sovereign SANFL teams.
Yes you are right the inteerst in this site has waned because of their intrusion.

It might just be because of the manner in which it was discussed on here.
As for JTC's idea, it's good you've been thinking John, but I think you've got some more thinking to do yet.

The truth stares you in the face, but you all still scream it's not real it's not real! Magpies in the SANFL, Power in the AFL, it's actually not real hard!
@Wild Dog, nothing wrong with the analogy. The problem is that some people will deny reality because it doesn't suit them, even if it stares them in the face. That applies to both subjects I mentioned.

To the extent that the club of Williams, Motley, Ebert, Quinn etc. is capable of becoming a reserves team and somehow retain its essence, sure. Yes, there is a team running out in the Sanfl wearing black and white and calling itself the Magpies. But surely a club's substantial, rather than superficial character is what makes a club?matt35 wrote:The fact that the club is now allowed to play their AFL listed players in the SANFL, does not make them any less the Magpies in the SANFL,
