Looks like, and KT will spin it as a win. Time to leave the SANFL.So we are pretty much told we need to find and develop talent solely for the benefit of the other SANFL clubs......
There is a board of directors meeting on Friday. For KT to come out on the eve of it and invite questions on this from what remains of the Port faithful is, to me, being commendably upfront. Fagan would send a hologram. Do we have a BF rep in attendance to ask half a dozen key questions on our behalf? We are, after all, turning ourselves into a lobby group. Or should be.KT to answer questions on this tomorrow at the Port Club. Wish I could get there to present all the concerns we have here.
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

Justifies a dedicated thread.Absolutely. RussellEbertHandball how can we get this happening in a formal sense? Ideally a register of names and membership numbers. We'd also need a clear outline of what our agenda is. (otherwise we'll get flooded with the "port piratez logo pleez' brigade.)
We have some significant clout amongst the posters here and a simple agenda based on accountability would be enough, in my opinion.

This is where the mods, or spec mod, earn their incredible pocket money.Organizing it in a formal sense isnt that hard.
Keeping it realistic and having a discussion online and people who don't get registered but want to voice their opinion or criticize what we are doing, is another matter.
How is our situation any different to that of the traditional Victorian clubs? They no longer have juniors etc that doesn't make them any less than a football club.Just call the club what it is Southern power. Just another afl franchise. We have lost our heartland, our juniors, our zones, the foundations on what made this club for 140 years... now this...

I reckon the SAAFL div 1 might be just as good or a higher standard than SANFL reserves too.
Didn't Tea Tree Gully smash the Academy side in a pre-season game 2 years ago? The year we finished 3 games clear on top.
Just a side note, here are the results whenever we've played SAAFL sides in the last couple of years.I used to think the same thing years ago and was well and truly proven wrong.
There is another 10-15 players outside that list of 42 - mainly from those that departed at the end of 2013 that have gone to SANFL clubs but didn't play in 2018. Two I know are Kory Beard and Angus Bruggemann.Not to mention all the ex Port kids playing U18s and Reserves as well. Probably another 25 players there too.
In 5 seasons since the change, we've made 2 grand finals (should have won both) and finished 2nd on the ladder in another year. 3 strong seasons in 5. One poor year and people want to throw the baby out with the bath water. What was our record like from 2000-13 when we had junior teams and development etc. I'll tell you what it was. Shithouse.
Trial games....Just a side note, here are the results whenever we've played SAAFL sides in the last couple of years.
Port Magpies senior team beat Div 1 Goodwood by 100 points.
Academy lost to Div 1 Tea Tree Gully by 10 goals.
Academy beat Div 2 Prince Alfred College by 50 points.
No this three from five good years and two grand finals paints the wrong picture. Until this past season we had a foundation of competent contracted players groomed from our junior pathway that were developed men with sanfl experience that could hold their own when they were selected. In fact in 2017 when four players at finals time were pinched from the reserves without playing a single league game all season they still had lots of experience from previous years and now play regular league football at othrr sanfl clubs. We were fortunate to have them although we were lucky that it didn't destabilise our finals campaign but maybe it had a bit to do in losing the gf as a couple of them didn't perform. However in these years some of them played consistently better than afl players. The contracted players we have now will not be like this.
This season is the true picture of where we sit when we regularly do not field a near full afl side and what the characteristic of our side will be come finals if we make it. It is worse in fact. This time if we make finals we will need to do it with a full list of afl players because the contracted players are small young and unwanted by sanfl clubs. Then come finals we will upgrade five of these players that severely weaken us.
People that don't watch regular Magpies games don't know the issues. They don't know where we were heading when the rules were set in place.
Anyone know what the pay restrictions are for an SAAFL div 1 sides are?
Surely it's more than $100 that the Academy players were on.
Why not make an SAAFL side, also if any of the 10 SANFL listed players are not playing SANFL they can drop down to that side.
Anyone that's decent in the SAAFL side can replace any SANFL listed player that gets raided by an SANFL club.
