I'd pick Biemans ahead of Toumpas. And if we want to win, Summo plays in the guts and don't worry about developing Atley and Drew in September, they can do that up to the end of the home and away season.
Pity Biemans and Ross can't play and a few AFL listed guys go thru the Academy side. When the Vic clubs were first aligned with VFL/VFA clubs the rule was maximum of 12 in the A grade and rest played B grade.
Yeah I don't want an artificial cap, but if the AFL listed player isn't ready or good enough for A grade sanfl side then let them play in the B grade and stop wetting your pants sanfl clubs that they will dominate that because they will drop so many players into the b grade.I think a cap will eventually come in, but I'd rather just being able to pick our best 21, a cap might not allow us to do that

SA doesnt have the economy to support 3 AFL sides. Finding $50mil - ok $10-$12mil comes from the AFL, wouldn't be easy and it would suck money from lower level footy clubs as well as other sports. Sponsors would drop off both Port and the crows and both Port and the crows would lose members and casual fans who rock up to the game, the crows more so than port.
but its not fair on the crows who dont have a reserves team!
Love this passage from Fox Footy.
A proud footballing team that has dominated the SANFL with the most premierships in the state’s footballing history against a side that Port Adelaide supporters grew to hate in its infancy as an AFL club. Why the latter? Because in some Power fans’ eyes, the Adelaide Football Club was a fabricated entity, with no history or culture, built with disrespect in mind for the 120 years of footballing glory created by those in the black and white.
Could have and should have been the Legs.
1) If Norwood come in, I don't see how we get affected by it. As we've shown, sponsorship isn't confined to your state these days. Norwood would receive international sponsorship like every other club and they'd have a fair bit of financial support from local wealthy supporters around the area as well. Support wise, if there is a genuine Norwood fan who supports Port in the AFL, then I'll shout your beer at AO for the rest of the season.
The only club who'd be affected by Norwood coming into the AFL would be the Crows, and even then, they still have 7 other SANFL sides to leech support off of.
2) I agree that from an economic perspective, SA can't afford a 3rd side, but it still makes more sense then WA3 (which is all the rage on Footy Industry). Most WA people are rusted on WCE or Freo supporters and everyone else supports an interstate side, whereas Norwood showed in the granny against us a few years ago that they still have sizeable support. I'd back Norwood to average 30-35k a game with our attendance staying the same.
Biemans had a pretty bad year last year so I think it'd be hard to justify putting him in the team.I'd pick Biemans ahead of Toumpas.

I know you saw a lot more games than me Ross but the 5 or 6 I saw him play I though he was a good contributor and played good team footy, usually got a shut down job and did it well. I know he won an award last year, best team man or most courageous.Biemans had a pretty bad year last year so I think it'd be hard to justify putting him in the team....
Norwood can **** off. They had their chance and s**t the bed.
I have no more respect for them now than I do for any other of the pissant brigade.

1. Look at level 2, 3, and 4 sponsorships, corporate hospitality packages, functions packages etc, that's where you need local businesses chipping in on a decent scale and on a regular basis.
2. Yeah a 3rd team in WA would be economically more viable in the long run but has no real basis for starting as it will just be just a generic team, whereas Norwood can call on its long history to connect existing, old and new fans.
The AFL isn't likely to start a team outside Perth metro but a team say from Mandurah which has its own distinctive geographical base but is close enough to Perth that over time would have supporters live in Perth and attract Perth businesses to their corporate sponsorships could work in the sort of way Geelong is its own separate area but has a lot of supporters live in Melbourne and Melbourne businesses sponsor them at those lower levels. Mandurah might be too small but a distinctive area with say 300,000 people just like Geelong but within 90 minutes of Perth CBD might be the place for a 3rd WA team.
There is absolutely zero case for another AFL team
I think the Cows would lose between 12,000 - 15,000 members to Norwood.
Be nice to see lol.Making Port the outright biggest club in SA. I can already hear the whistle as egos deflate at the thought of it. I wonder what would happen if they realised Port was already the biggest club in SA. The Crows after all are a representation of ALL SANFL clubs combined.
I'll just reiterate - **** norwood
We're not getting another afl team in SA, HKP. No matter how awesome it would beYou don't have to like them. But having an extra team in SA would be awesome. Bring us closer to what they have in Vic
