I cant take any satisfaction out of the AFL teams being removed from the league until it is a league decision. That is when we will know the SANFL is keen to stand on its own and we may just get a diversified Australian Rules football landscape.
Considering the PAM have left the SANFL and they want to return next season, should they be made to pay a license fee like A/Crows as they will be a new entity.?
They may want to return but will the organisation who runs them allow it ? If they get the nod they should obviously pay and I think its time the fee is raised.

Current fee + 18 x 4000 x $14 fee for the missing spectators.
I'm torn... Part of me would like to see the AFL collapse and go back to being the VFL we know they really are anyway, and lest us disband our "AFL" teams. The other part would like to see both the Crows and Power dash off to Victoria. and cease to exist in SA.
At present, while they are with us, I tend support them both when playing Victorian teams including South Melbourne and Fitzroy because I guess they are at least both semi-South Australian...
Is it just me or was that AFL game last night a boring waste of time? The sooner we get back to some real attaching footy with real scoring in SANFL and in the Ammos the better!

Not just you. It was a boring waste of time. If you were a neutral supporter then it was pretty much unwatchable.

I didn’t mind it. Skills are always ordinary this early in a season. Intensity was good.

Sanfl reserves or AFL reserves teams ?
I’ve heard something about one AFL team and one SANFL club being a feeder club won’t say which two I’ve heard about
The talk has been West Adelaide. Don't see how any other SANFL team would agree to another "merging" with an AFL reserves side (as happened in WA with Peel Thunder). If they don't want to revert to how it used to be, then they can piss off. One can only dream about no AFL reserves in SANFL. If you mean no SANFL reserves not a surprise given the SANFLs willingness to bow to the AFL.

What would be the alternative options, if there was no Reserves, for the half dozen or so players that miss out on a league game? They play amongst the U18 team? They play for a local Amateur or Country team?
I'd cop this, if it meant no AFL Reserves in the SANFL.
