Was one of the reason to make it a 10 team comp was to eliminate the bye and have continuity and a live table week to week. Once again the AFL sides play next week so the tables are not reflective of the comp and 6 other sides have a bye.

Way too many byes, but of course it is critical that the AFL cancers have a bye to match their superiors

Seriously this Ravens crap is getting old. They are the crows. Just like Port are power and not magpies and shouldnt be called magpies. Most of us crows supporters follow an SANFL club like I do with Norwood so that is why there is no support. I support both but most people wouldnt. The preference for me would be an AFL Reserves comp. This though would destroy the SANFL even more as the AFL clubs would need larger lists and where do you think they will get the players from. From the SANFL, WAFL NEAFL etc. This would destroy the SANFL even more as it would become nothing more than an amatuer league comp. So people wanting crows and port out be careful on what you wish for as it will happen soon and the SANFL will be worse for it all though crows and port will become better for it.

You would think all these people would have better things to do than go on about the Crows and Port having a reserves team in the SANFL. Its like a broken record. Maybe we should get them all a bridge building set for xmas so they can build one and the the **** over it.

Who else will they blame for the demise of their league?

Maybe just maybe the other clubs can actually try and get people to the games and to purchase memberships. The whinge about the port and crows teams and how they wont go and watch their club play. They dont play them every week. Why dont they go and watch their beloved teams when they play the other 7 clubs. I would think out of an 18 game season they only play the AFL teams maybe 4 times in total so why don tthey go support their beloved club for the other 14 rounds. or are they gonna be like a kid who didnt get heir lollie and cry on the floor and say boo hoo i hate the AFL sides

Which part of centrals voted no. The club coach and our board have publicly stated on more than one occasion we hate the current set up.

So we are supporting our clubs stance against the league but not attending to prove cdfc is correct.

The crows(60000 members) have the lowest attendance in the league. If that’s not fans already doing what youve suggested 4 years into the debate I’m not sure What is.

Finger on the pulse as always.

Our leagues demise didn’t cause this Einstein.

Maybe an afl clubs/one clubs demise in supporter base/ability to make a profit was the catalyst .

Keep attempting to lay the boot in at every opportunity you Self indulgent w......

vote with your feet...oh wait you already did that...

why would we? its just practice matches. there is no meaning to the league. ill happily be like the kid who didnt get a lollie and have a tantrum, no problem there.
but again hollywood, there are real genuine reasons that we have against the AFL reserves, which is basically that most Clubs had already made up their decision leading into the so called Members Meeting.
so by not attending the matches, we are exercising our right to protest.
and if the league disappears, or the GFC goes into the oblivion, then so be it.

The pair of them are on here having a whinge because they don't like what we are saying about their clubs.

Just give them a bit of space.
What they REALLY need to hear is that just because their clubs are responsible for the demise of our league, DOES NOT MEAN we think any less of their supporters as people.
Everyone has a little bundle of joy inside of themselves that just needs to be appreciated.
So watch out Hollywood and MW, if I see you on the street, I just might give you a HUG and say "You know what? You're a GOOD PERSON!"
Please don't confuse our wish for your teams to stop using our league for practice drills as ANY INDICMENT on you as people.

THERE!
Better now?

It won’t be Port or the Crows that destroy the SANFL. It’s the so called supporters that haven’t moved on and won’t support their club because the league did something they didn’t like.

So you're putting it on the supporters even though you've just highlighted poor governance by the SANFL?

You blokes can sit there smugly because the clubs YOU love are in the big league, guaranteed survival and relevance by the bulging wallet of the AFL. No problem with that, good luck to you, but don't sit there judging other clubs and their supporters that aren't afforded the same luxury.
