If Port are ‘poo’ it’s because both you and the Crows are unequivocally screwed by the fact that you don’t get to get free hits in the draft like the NSW and QLD clubs.Ive said similar on both counts. The issue is clubs clearly have a better time of it and those clubs are usually big Victorian ones. If we need a certain type of player there are few options, certainly less than the pool of Victorian players going home. There's enough players with some sort of link to SA to build a good (top 4) level team, but there just isn't a Tom Lynch/ Jeremey Cameron type to push it over the top. Not even Dunkley is that player, and he probably wasn't ever coming to SA with stronger links to Qld than SA.
The premise of this thread is 'Port are poo, why doesn't anyone want to go there'. It's a completely different argument.
On paper the NSW team is much better than what SA can put out and that’s enough for me to say it’s time for SA to gain the same benefits.
I believe in equality even though this puts my own team at a disadvantage because we’ve always had good luck with SA lads.
