Hate to think what will happen when both teams will inevitably slide down the ladder a lot further than they are now.

AFL-SA wrote:Adelaide Oval attendances are up 55% on AAMI Stadium, this is the SANFL cash cow.
The SANFL were close to being insolvent 4 years ago, debts of $37M, assets of $28 and a $10M loan from the AFL.
Debt is now $18M, assets $109M and they will be debt free by 2020.
$16M wil be distributed to the SANFL clubs over 7 years to retire their debt, which should mean that all clubs will also be debt free within that period.
The AFL Reserves sides have not destroyed the SANFL competition, hardly anyone mentions them at the League Director level and the SANFL is 100% committed to keeping them in the competition for the full 15 years.
If these teams were such an issue why has no League Director been removed from their club? Why is there barely a ripple with club members?
Without the Adelaide Oval deal, divesting the AFL licences and selling AAMI Stadium to create a future fund, the SANFL would have folded.
The SANFL is in very good hands. Thank God that it's not in the hands of you geniuses with your harebrained ideas.

Lol
Within 5 years there will be no one going to the SANFL and probably sooner if one wins the comp. memberships are down and attendances are terrible but yeah hardly a ripple.
Most people have accepted they are not going anywhere and we are stuck with them but trust me clubs are getting together to look at rules and meetings are going on behind the SANFL's back to bring about ways to make the AFL clubs less competitive.

A significant part of that drop is caused by one particular Crows Thursday night game; the two previous Thursday night games have had huge crowds, but the Crows Thursday night game this year was ruined by a prediction of high winds, thunderstorms and hail. My partner and I almost never miss a Crows home game, but even we made the call not to go that night and the crowd was down roughly 12-13 thousand on what it otherwise would have been.

Whilst the 8 CEOs have managed to meet and provide a united voice to the SANFL which has heeded some results, the League Directors are incapable of doing so.
Any attempt to change the terms of the AFL sides earlier this year were emphatically rejected by the SANFL.Jim05 wrote:Most people have accepted they are not going anywhere and we are stuck with them but trust me clubs are getting together to look at rules and meetings are going on behind the SANFL's back to bring about ways to make the AFL clubs less competitive.

No they're not. Presumably Norwood people are feeding you bull and false bravado when in reality they are not lifting a finger.

Adelaide Oval is the most expensive venue in the county, and if it continues the crowds will drop even further.
But Port and Crows average is still in the top 4 of the AFL.
If people are worried about footy in S.A, they should be even more worried in Victoria where crowds are down a lot more than here, both the AFL and VFL.
Least here our junior development is probably the best it's ever been.
