You think, I am sure the SA government when suggested should change legislation to change the SMA set up, it was questioned on what compensation or litigation the SANFL could take if this occurred and would win! As I said they were definetly enticed to move, it has been stated, who offered what to get them to move, maybe its taken 6 months as there is no legal leg to stand on to force a review to take place and its a delicate situation that needs a lot of goodwill from the SANFL!
In one sense it is delicate, everyone would like a win win. In this scenario SANFL and AFL teams all have enough money to have the greatest likelihood to achieve there objective. PAFC and Crows to have enough money to be in the top tier of footy department spends for winning premierships. SANFL to run a successful local league. In this scenario there does not really need a profit for any party and any excess is invested for the future of all 3. Agree?
In reality there is greed, and all 3 parties will have this, it's natural. I agree that even after this deal, there will likely be a continuing fight for the pot. I can't see the SANFL winning this fight, even with a contract. They should and will succumb, it is in their best interest. They lost, this is not the 50s anymore, times have changed. The SANFL is becoming increasingly irrelevant.
