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.

That's spent 300+ pages discussing AFL sides? Yes.

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)

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

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?

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.

In other words....We are in a panic that no one is turning up, our tweets are not retweeting and its not even winter yet. Please tell us why otherwise we might lose our jobs and our guaranteed corporate box access at the Crowval.
