Bugger the advertiser BS The club's article on it says


In 2023, Adelaide and Port Adelaide can each select one 19 or 20-year-old player overlooked in their draft year as part of the SANFL Rookie Program, with the player having the autonomy to opt into the program once the SANFL club has been consulted in the first instance.

Once a player decides to opt in, their SANFL club will be financially compensated.

This year, AFL clubs must select their SANFL Rookie Program player in their SANFL League team each week, immediately after their AFL-listed players and marquee player.

Father-son and Next Generation Academy players can opt into the SANFL Rookie Program without approval from their SANFL club.

Lipstick on a pig, to try and stop the drums of Port leaving the SANFL. Nothing in that to change my mind we should have an AFL reserves competition and we get out of the SANFL for good.
Port and the crows are signed up to 2028 at this stage but can cancel that. Tassie to enter in 2027,and new CEO has to have a legacy piece after Gil will do everything else before he goes.

So 2028 or 2029 probably is national reserves comp.
 
Meh
Minor changes.

Would like to see AFL clubs be able to sign up to 3 or 4 ex-AFL players, a similar number of State league and country players from anywhere in Australia (no age limits), and up to 3 under 20 year olds who went undrafted for us to have a look at as possible mid-year draftees.

That would provide some level of onfield stability and mentoring/coaching for our younger players, to develop a winning culture and avoid 21 goal drubbings like versus North last season.

I'd be prepared to forgo participation in finals even if we finished top after the minor round, if we could help develop our kids better - and restore some pride in the PB's performances.

Yes, exactly. Minor cosmetic changes dressed to look like major concessions. The AFL Clubs participating in the SANFL are nowhere near the level playing field enjoyed by the remaining SANFL clubs all of who have under age teams, a full Reserves side and can sign ex Power and Crows players. I would be happy if we were allowed to retain up to 5 players who had been on our AFL list for a minumum of 5 years. That would mean we could have players like Broadbent, Moore, Young and Hartlett on our books. It really pisses me off when I see players like these playing against us.

The Murdoch Press did give us some credit though, they reported that these minor changes came about because Port threatened to leave the SANFL. Any changes are thanks to the efforts of the PAFC and not those compliant slugs from West Lakes.
 
The changes aren't nearly enough, but it's good to see some tacit acknowledgement from the Sanfl of where the money comes from for football in this State.
 
Too little too late.

Davies should ask the SANFL whether they want us to turn the lights out when we leave.

They'll have trouble keeping the lights on regardless i'd suggest.

The SANFL going down (not necessarily all the clubs, but the league as a whole) will be very satisfying.
 
Here is a list of 42 players in the SANFL in 2018 ie 2 full sides who have spent time at Alberton in various sides over the years and are playing for 9 other SANFL clubs. Thanks to RossFC for the raw data a couple of months ago. I still have to add the guys that left post Reunification in September 2013 and are no longer on SANFL lists like Bruggerman and Beard

Pretty sure Kluske left Glenelg at the end of 2021
