What I see as the most interesting result from the above score sheets is that Sturt, who were in this period by far the best performing SANFL side, came off with the worst results of all other SANFL teams? Something looks a little screwy about that? Secondly, growing up I always thought the...
Things have changed Huntercrow. That first Crows side was close to a state side, it used to pummel what was left of the SANFL teams, I doubt even the full crows list could deal with a combined SANFL side today. Would make a good match though, I'd love to see it.
Personally given how VFL-centric the AFL has remained over the last 20 years, and now that the Crows are no longer licensed to the AFL via SANFL ownership, I think we could dare to make some drastic but none the less interesting and exiting changes. Could we, SA, consider allowing the Crows to...
No, not really. Best viewing on TV since the start of the pandemic. Imploded right in front of the faithful. Only thing that can surpass this is if it happened again next year, and they loose to the Crows by a point, on a dubious free kick, directly in front of goal.....then I am off to heaven.
I think you mean.....it sucks the life out of grass-roots footy? The investment has benn in ....how to save Victorian League Football after the wasteful money spluges in the 1970's 80's on interstate stars that favoured the rich Melbourne clubs and unbalanced the VFL competition.
IMO the fix is relatively easy. The administration of the game runs out of Victoria, the officiating/umpire panel for both AFL and State Leagues should be under the auspicis of the SANFL and the judicial/tribunal hearings and universal rule modifications for both AFL and State Leagues should be...
Port Adelaide is a real interesting club, both in regard to it's history & its successful SANFL career. It is a SANFL (circa 1877), formative club of the oldest footy code of any kind and preceeded that by 7 years (circa 1870.) Any discussion of S.A. / A.F.L. Footy can not be taken seperately...
IMO it is not so much about the game getting rotten, but the losing of touch with the minor leagues....for example some of the differences emerging say between the AFL and SANFL are threatening to cause a divergence in the game itself. Certainly the two SA based AFL players are finding it...
