I understand why they did that, a unified club ( at that time ) would have potentially been a power (pun intended) in itself. Fringe AFL players would have headed to PAMFC in the SANFL as a direct link to the AFL, the SANFL side would have had advantages other SANFL sides did not have and let's be fair, we'd been kicking everyone's sorry arse for 30 years at that point.
I like beer. Cheers.
A little off topic here but If we are talking facts and opinions then I'm calling you on this one. Let's be accurate, Port we're kicking everyone's sorry arse for ten years not thirty. In the twenty years before that Sturt were the dominant side in terms of premierships and Norwood equalled your premiership tally during the period. In fact, prior to the 1977 breakthrough, Port were almost Glenelg like in Grand finals with five grand final losses in ten years.
I like beer too.

Perhaps I should have said the 20 year period from 1977 to 1997 when Port won 11 of 20 premierships, in that time Sturt won none and Norwood won 3.
In the 30 years prior to '97 Port remain on 11, Sturt picked up 6, Norwood 4.
Since we're starting again... a couple of points on the statement in bold.
a) how can it be a fact if it never happened and therefore the outcome is unknown? At best its an opinion on a untested hypothetical. b) Where's Morell when he's needed to sort the facts from the opinions?!
Poor bastard would be chewing his arm off reading this.

Yeah, well, there's no SANFL thread that's relevant (not even one acknowledging Laird and Godden ) and I only upset two dickheads in here instead of a whole forum.
