Again, morell has made it clear on several occasions that the SANFL is but one league in this state. "Football" in this state reaches far beyond the clubs vying for the Thomas Seymour Hill trophy. It's myopic to think it's not.

Who do you think is deserving of recognition? Professional sport generates the media and money (which the AFL spends anyway on it's fancies) but for virtually everyone in footy from player to volunteer who give of their time it ain't in an AFL setting.
Over 120,000 members between the two clubs. That's not passive, is it?
It is if it counts the number of ticket holders the clubs have. The number is impressive I'll give you that (and magically seems to creep up year by year)
but sport means a lot more than a bunch of seat warmers. I mentioned the volunteers that the code actually relies on because they are the people that deserve the recognition.

Magically? Unbelievable that membership numbers would rise as the population does...

Lots of us should stay out of the EPL, MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL and some the AFL threads by that measure.

Hmmm, while you seem to understand that football in this state reaches beyond the SANFL, you fail to understand that we are discussing the AFL's presence in the SANFL specifically. So regardless of your unwavering love for Port Districts and Port Power, if you haven't attended a SANFL match since 1998, actually hate the SANFL and have no regrets that the traditional Magpies have alienated the 3,000+ fans that stuck by them, how can you then claim to advise what is best for it?
I'm gonna sit back, crack the top off a Pale Ale, and watch the Double Blues prevail

No thanks Dutchman. You and the others have fed the troll too much already. I'll post here when I have something germane to the thread, viz. a whinge about the garbage infesting our league.
