Thats not the point, the point is the reserves teams have contributed to clubs going downhill and also contributed to the people who could help turn things around no longer being there.
For eg. I was a part of the Roosters Against Merger group in the 90s, in the early 2000s I organised the Rooster Rally which a lot of people credit helping turn the fortunes of the club around, I've also been a runner up for Volunteer of the Year award, went interstate twice following North, have been a part of the Presidents group twice, I created and ran the clubs official website for years and created a club unofficial site/forum as well as safooty which has helped build/keep interest in the club/comp and used to be a volunteer SANFL acreddited photographer, etc etc.
Thanks to the reserves debacle I wouldn't lift a finger to help North if something happened these days, I struggle to get motivated to travel 5 mins to see them play and I helped organise my daughter a gig as a trainer/physio at South. I only go to games to catch up with mates. I'm sure Glenelg and other clubs have many people like me.
Please don't interpret my post as blowing my own trumpet as I did it all out of love and passion of which I have none now which is a big point of what the point is.
So the actual blame for the AFL reserves in the SANFL & the ultimate downfall of the SANFL should all be put on the 6 clubs that voted yes & not the crows or power for wanting into the SANFL.
Correct, if somrone let a rabid snot laden monster into my house I'd blame them after I smashed the shit out of the monster.

I'm not sure it's the right analogy, but nonetheless, what you've said above is correct.
But what if you bought that product on the basis that the shopkeeper pointed a gun at your head and said, "buy this or else"?
That's a new twist, I hadn't heard that a gun was held to 6 different club presidents heads.
Not an actual gun. I do remember threats of "going elsewhere" and using their influence to not only take all their sponsors with them, but also to filch sponsors currently supporting the SANFL and SANFL clubs, and doing all that they can to promote whatever league it is that they landed in, in opposition to the SANFL.
Not exactly a gun, but certainly a threat that had the potential to kill off the SANFL.

1) I don't care about the VFL
2) The old VFA clubs joined the VFL reserves team in their comp, complete opposite to here
How does that make me a hypocrite? If Geelong wanted to put a team in the SANFL I'd be just as vocal.
Your post makes you seem very ignorant or uneducated on the issue.

You don't care that your AFL club is doing exactly the same to another comp, that's okay is it, talk about ignorance.
You've got it around the wrong way too. The VFA actually turned into the VFL in 96. The Melbourne AFL reserves joined that comp in 2000, but don't let the facts get in the way of your argument.

The VFA admin dissolved in 1994 and some old VFA clubs played in a comp named the VFA immediately but eventually the VFL which was run by the VSFL who looked after the Under 18s and VFL reserves comp. Ie the AFL
The VSFL/AFL eventually combined their two comps
You my friend need to do a bit more study.

Just read and try and understand this:
The VFA admin disbanded in 1994.
Take steps forward after you work that out.

Sturt. The last club membership I had out of the 2 was Sturt in 2013. I had a crows membership in their 1st year but couldn't stand the dumbass supporters so gave that up.

How do you feel about the Crows playing in the SANFL?

Here you go, if the following had happened we'd be in exactly the same way and IF I cared about them (which I don't) this would make me a hypocrite.
1800s Crows and Power play in the SANFL with the other SANFL clubs
Early 1900s Crows and Power leave the SANFL to form their own comp, lets call it AFLSA, they have their own reserves called the AFLSA reserves comp.
In 1994 the SANFL disolves. The AFLSA says "we'll run a comp for you as we want to take over all footy in this state", the SANFL clubs agree as this is their only option, they're very thankful.
In 1995 the SANFL runs for a season and they call the comp SANFL.
The AFLSA run this comp as well as three others, the Under 18s and the comp with the Crows and Power and the comp with the Crows and Powers reserves side. The AFLSA runs all comps now.
In 1996 the SANFL comp run is forced to change their name by the AFLSA,their owners, to the SAFL.
In 1999 the AFLSA decide to merge the AFLSA reserves comp and the SANFL clubs and use the name SAFL.
Would I whinge about North Adelaide being forced to play the Crows and Power reserves in a comptition that is run by AFLSA and only let North play in that comp out of the kindness of its own heart?
No
Would I be shitty that the SANFL admin dissolved in 1994 leaving all football in this state at the mercy of the AFLSA?
Probably but thats not even close to the same scenario we have.
If you don't get it after that, you never will.
