Is it money they can afford to lose though?Who knows but whatever, it's not AFC or PA money to compete in the SANFL.
I don't believe PA pays anything. The AFC was paying a per diem type payment once. I saw nothing in the SANFL annual statement that suggested there was money coming in from the 2 clubs. It may have been buried in there somewhere.Is it money they can afford to lose though?
Aren’t they half the sma so would get a portion from afl games at AO?I don't believe PA pays anything. The AFC was paying a per diem type payment once. I saw nothing in the SANFL annual statement that suggested there was money coming in from the 2 clubs. It may have been buried in there somewhere.
Yeah, but you're not recognising DABM's point.They don't need the Crows and Power in the SANFL. They don't add anything to the SANFL. That is BS.
I love my Crows, but I also still love the SANFL comp.
Because it’s just Reserves. The result of winning and losing doesn’t matter. It is all about development. If everyone has equal rules, it’s fair.A national reserves competition would mean the SANFL becomes 3rd tier, rather than 2nd tier
Why would any AFL club agree to a 21 year old maximum on top ups? Surely they'd snap up any AFL delistees just for starters. The payment restrictions for top ups also disappear.
And why would any player choose to play in a 3rd tier competition when they could play in the 2nd tier and train with an AFL club?
The SANFL would destroy itself by turfing the AFL teams imho. Would becomes a Coates U18 League equivalent, except with Old Scholars teams running around.
So I’m guessing whatever port or the crows do, the sanfl will always get money from their games at AO?Each club gets $50k per year from the Crows. Nothing from the Power because they gave up their 1/9th stake in the SANFL when they merged with the Power.
The SANFL also make money from the SMA (half ownership with SACA) which includes Crows and Power games, concerts, hotel etc.
IMO ideally there is a system in place where the SANFL clubs are working with Adelaide and Port in the development of players, but not playing against Adelaide and Port in the same competition.
2nd choice the SANFL goes it alone.
Last choice the status quo.
The Magpies isn't really a club anymore. They're the Power.They leave a filthy residue behind them to be fair.
Of course you can, everyone wants to see their up and coming talent performing well. As I highlighted specifically in the post you quoted.
Winning? Meh. If we cared about winning the reserves we would have kept Pat Wilson and James Battersby. We didn't, because we don't. And nor should we
It’s about $30 000 per annum for the fence which could be spent elsewhere.

That should buy us much better umpiring than we get.We pay $400k per year to play in the sanfl.
10 home games, $3k per game rental, set up and pull down of temporary fencing.How is a fence $30k per annum?
Got what they wanted.The Magpies isn't really a club anymore. They're the Power.

Pretty obvious I’d assume.Why is it rented and set up and pulled down?
From memory, when Sturt left Unley and played their home games at AO (I believe), the council pulled the old fence down and made it open space. Now those who live locally don't wish to have a permanent fence up.Why is it rented and set up and pulled down?
Pretty obvious I’d assume.
There is no perimeter fence to control who enters etc so one has to be erected and I would assume the council and residents would demand that it’s not left up for an entire season hence needs to be removed each time.
All permanent structures must have council approval. So it has to go out for public comment and a quite a few locals like their current green/parlands setting without a fence spoiling their veiw or the like.That's pretty stupid. Just erect a fence with a gate or 2. Gates can be locked or unlocked, it's not rocket science.
This is what the club is trying to get done.That's pretty stupid. Just erect a fence with a gate or 2. Gates can be locked or unlocked, it's not rocket science.
