The SANFL has been without a magpies team for 7 years. In that time, the only blandness has been the occasional practice match mixed in amongst the games between dinkum SANFL teams.

Unfortunately, the AFL has been so blinkered.
My 6 year old daughter just started to really enjoy going to the football last season. I took her to a couple of Crows games and a couple of Eagles games. She liked both, but enjoyed the freedom of the Eagles games most of all. So that is what we’ll do this season. It is more affordable and more fun. It is also of a good standard to enjoy watching. I’ll also be able to bring my toddler and meet up with friends and family at the footy in any spot we like. Likely on the hill at Woodville Oval, where the kids can run around all day. Perhaps an introduction to our great game, that will see her participate and support the game in the future.
Sitting still for 3 hours at Adelaide Oval doesn’t necessarily do that.

But this hatred toward the black & white is completely different,
we hated the real Maggies because they used to beat us a lot,
we hate this maggies because it's not the old Maggies, they're long dead & gone, we hate this mob for the many legitimate reasons that we've been through a multitude of times on this forum.

I'm not sure that $50k each is such a big portion of club revenue that the league can't exist without it. The various revenue streams the clubs benefit from have been discussed at length on this forum.
However, the point a number of us made back in 2013 is that the fact that there is a Crows/Power reserves team in the league is a big barrier to the dinkum clubs recruiting new supporters. It's likely that most kids will be exposed to the Crows and Power before the SANFL. Much easier to get them interested in one of the sovereign SANFL clubs if they're not competing with the Crows/Power.Alex wrote:I hate that the AFL is in the comp to begin with but that damage is now done and I can't see crowds ever increasing from here.

Actually, the competition last season - i.e. absent the 'Magpies' - was praised as being one of the best spectacles in a long time. Notwithstanding the difficulties associated with COVID-19, the impression received both from on here and in most media coverage is that the 2020 season was a roaring success, and anything but bland.

Yeah, or you can point out the utter stupidity of the decision to admit them, maintain your support for getting rid of them, highlight the negative effects they have on the league, point out the benefits of not having them in, à la the successful 2020 season, and outline how a future SANFL without the cancers would operate.

Next question by your confused 6 year old will be, why aren't there any girls playing in the Crows reserves
