Franklin is holding the swans back now at this point and should pull the pin

well that's the end of SANFL Now at $90 a year

As a Brisbane supporter I was bitterly disappointed when it was announced we had to merge with Fitzroy. We were on fire, finals last 2 seasons, heading to the prelim in '96. The team was absolutely packed with up and coming stars and crowds were filling the Gabba at this point for the first...

In the only period that can be compared fairly (1997 - 2022) their record is exactly the same..

I consider them a new club made up of a mixture of the old Fitzroy and Brisbane clubs. They have a right to celebrate the heritage of both sides of the family I would think?

they were two different clubs, now merged into one (although technically Fitzroy still exist as a stand alone club and it wasn't a merger by legal definition according to facts I don't quite understand)

Your understanding is correct and the reason I and many other old Port Magpies supporters never supported the Power. However the Port Magpies and the Power did merge more than a decade ago. I would have preferred the merger never happened as effectively the SANFL fans lost their team. Since it...

yes...and they merged with the Port Adelaide Magpies in 2010 so why does that matter now?

That's the whole issue and why it is important though. Port will always be a drain on the AFL without being able to embrace their heritage. The club almost collapsed prior to making more of an effort to link to the Port Adelaide history. Denying the club the use of its heritage and expecting...

Pretty sure they sold 6,000 tickets to Brisbane vs kangaroos

Nobody at Port who derives any income from their association with the AFL will ever do anything meaningful to help the cause as it could jeopardise their own pocket - end of story.

West Torrens were lucky they were up against Port, who with a team playing in the league Grand Final could not stack their side with so many borderline senior/reserves players.

Game is "sold out" but looks like it would be pretty much impossible to stop just anyone rocking up on the day and watching with or without a ticket

The hawks game will sell out at some point in the next 4 months. The ground only holds 15,000 people and it sounds like at least half would have to be gone if the 4,000 grandstand is already totally sold out.

Norwood oval is decent for a local ground and hands down it's in the best location for visitors to SA. Unley is the worst since half the oval is useless for fans unfortunately.
