If it wasn't for the Port Adelaide Football Club we would all still be in the dark ages watching SANFL football, unless of course you liked watching Port Adelaide win flag after flag. (Not that there was anything wrong with that)Crowked said:
And remember if it wasn't for us we would still be in a recession after that State Bank debacle, we brought this state together, well sort of.

What drugs are you on?
Well, I think it worked this way ...captain ebert said:so the crows really are the bastard child then?
The SANFL and the AFL got engaged, but they hadn't set the date or booked the venue.
Then one night at the pub, when the AFL went out for a leak, Port followed and said "Hey, I know you're hitched to SANFL over there, but check out my tatts - wanna f ********?"
Now, for a moment AFL was tempted - I mean, Port was clearly under the weather and probably would have done just about anything in her condition - but then SANFL found out and pointed out that if AFL ran off with Port, the wedding gifts would look pretty slim compared to the dowry on offer from her side of the family.
So SANFL and AFL had makeup sex and thus were born the Crows, kiddies
Until that pesky Port snuck into the relationship anyway.....
Um, right. The idea of an SA team joining the AFL had never even been considered, by either the AFL or the SANFL, before Port took their shot. It was all Port's idea.blackdiamond said:

Its okay to have an idea, its another thing to run with it, the SANFL just sat on their hands while Port Adelaide got on with it.arrowman said:Um, right.

A fine effort that. The truth always hurts. But let nothing get in the way of a good story.
blackdiamond said:
For the 1000th time the SANFL wanted to join under their terms not be dictated to by the Vics all the time as in the past. But you had to go and be a spoil sport now didnt you. Selfish is the word your searching for.

So - knowing that the AFL and the SANFL had intentions - the AFL was very keen, the SANFL a little more reserved because they had seen what happened in WA - Port Adelaide decided that they should make a back door approach to the AFL becauseblackdiamond said:
a. It would benefit the PAFC, or
b. It would benefit SA football in general.
?
- and if Port hadn't made that approach, the SANFL would never have joined the AFL - not a year or two later, not ever.
The motivation was selfish, and the benefit to SA football non-existent (because it [SANFL team joining AFL] was going to happen anyway.)
In fact, if anything the Port approach jeopardised the position of SA football because it forced the SANFL to move sooner, and faster, than they had planned. If it were not for the efforts and skill of the people who set up the AFC, it could have gone badly wrong.

I'd say the SANFL was probably more concerned with what would happen to the SANFL, and by seeing the state of it now you can see why.

i agree with your above scenario but i also agree with part of blackdiamond's comment - i would add to the above that the SANFL procrastinated and twiddled their thumbs for years trying to make a decision until Port's forced the issue with their own selfish pursuits
arrowman said:
ahh i get it - the crows were born very premature - without a heart - now that explains it all, thanks
lets just be happy with the way it panned out anyway. port rightly got a shot at the big time in the end, & the rest of the SA football following public can passionately & happily support the crows - the outcome would not have been so merry for the masses if it had been say, port & norwood.

but was there any other way? it was always going to happen, the SANFL only grew her a set of balls after PAFC showed his.
