Would have had no impact on it, or the development of 1 player who will never play a game for the powerWould playing Summerton have been the best thing for our AFL side?

Not a mention of the poleaxing of Snelling in the Smail. Just listed as an injury (jaw, ankle).
funnily enough sanfl clubs used to play our developing kids in the reserves all the time as well when they had them (occasionally played 100 afl game players in the reserves too - Salopek for eg)VFL and WAFL sides play their raw kids in the state league reserves all the time.
Also, my favourite moment of the match that I forgot to mention:
Went to the game with my WWT supporting girlfriend (apparently WWT supporters under the age of 50 are a thing, who knew?). After a ruck contest involving Billy Frampton, completely out of nowhere, she says "Wow, number 14's hair is ... (pause) ... glorious".
So first the SANFL say we have to play to line and not put blokes in for operations and play AFL listed players first. So in 2014 we only play Summo and Krak as the Magpies contracted players in the GF when Bruggerman, Slattery, Biemans and maybe one or two others would have made the GF side a stronger side and not played Flynn and a few kids.The leaving out of Summerton just shows up the sanfl as an ignorant short-sighted organisation. Imagine creating a rule that punishes one of the champions of its own competition and an ornament to the game.
Port Adelaide did the right thing in obeying the rule forced upon us. It's not up to us to salvage an idiotic situation. Even better it exposes the absurdity of the rule.
Summo. Sharrod, Robbie young and Reynolds make us a much better side at sanfl level.I only see the replays of our Magpies games, but from this relatively small there is no chance that there are seven or eight Magpies players better than listed. Three or four for sure, but not much more than that.
Yep, I was only a few metres away and it was ridiculous there was no 50 - the ump got a deserved mouthful from the crowdI thought we were due a 50m when Snelling got crunched and an WWT player reported?
