It is doomed. I think Adelaide with several players at their peak walking out because of club issues will field a very young team and be near the bottom next year (and probably the next few years), no higher than 15th. Wouldn't be surprised if they were wooden spooners. Port will finish higher, somewhere mid ladder.
What is the reason though that's the important question
Has Adelaide and ports drafting been poor is the list not capable

I expect the South Aussie clubs to goo super hard at Luko and Rankine (albeit he's signed a bit longer)
a bit of conflation of different issues
On one hand, Adelaide has never really had a re-build and they are just coming to a part of the cycle that they've avoided for 15 years - That's a list cycle issue. Port have already started their re-build but both are unlikely for finals next season (but who the hell really knows?)
In terms of SA Football as a whole - There definitely needs a TAC Cup type overhaul of junior footy development. The hypothetical SA State of Origin side would struggle to beat Tasmania at the moment, and quality draftees are few and far between. They need to take the development away from the SANFL clubs. SANFL clubs are trying to win SANFL premierships, if they produce an AFL player, it's a bonus. TAC Clubs are trying to develop AFL players, if they win a premiership, it's a bonus
And the results are obvious to see

Any suggestions on who would pay for the TAC comp in SA considering it woukd be created purely for the AFL competition

PAFC have been hampered by the Adelaide Oval deal, where they are losing money on nearly every home game. (Hence the China deal)
If/once they get their financial problems sorted/fixed (easier said than done), they will be fine.

I’ll make tears from your Wines.
As long as the backwards thinking parasites at the SANFL (SMA) run footy in the state, it will always be mediocre. Their development is atrocious and all aimed to keeping the crappy comp relevant.
Unfortunately they have done such a good job of squeezing every penny out of the AFL teams and the govt. that they are in position to do so for years to come.
They are literally the Adelaide 'establishment' and love their little fiefdoms.
A club should not be makng a loss from 6ok memberships and 35k average attendances. The stadium deal is a shocker, just to fund the likes of Glenelg and their urge to hire AFL has beens.

Yes, yes they have.
Are you trying to say that those in the SANFL/SMA aren't hugely influential in politics? The crazy addition of the hotel is a prime example of the snouts in the trough.
The clubs are fighting back, but it's all too late and a big reason why both are struggling.
Frustration over $42 million hotel proposal unites Adelaide AFL teams
Adelaide's two AFL clubs are used to doing battle on the field, but have become off-field allies in a rift with Adelaide Oval management over a $42 million luxury hotel proposal.
Adelaide Oval's board [SMA] is comprised of nominees of its two shareholders, the SANFL and SACA, designed to represent the interests of both football and cricket.

But the Power said the SANFL does not consult with the state's two national teams.
"The SANFL does not engage in regular dialogue with the AFL clubs to ensure our interests are represented to the [SMA] board," Mr Thomas wrote.

The question is
Why did the government let the SACA/SANFL run their asset?

The answer is because the clubs had no choice as they were still being rinsed and owned by the SANFL at the time and to even have a chance of freedom they had to accept it and the people in the SANFL/SMA are/were literally the most corrupt politicians the state has ever had!
This isn't even supposition ffs.

That wasn't the question
the question was why did the GOVERNMENT give the saca/sanfl the run of the GOVERNMENTS ASSET being AO that the GOVERNMENT owned

The no response tells me you know why the government did what they did with their asset
and it has nothing to do with tin foil hat conspiracy theories
