Yeah they do, its community based football, away from selling the corporate facilities, Corporate sponsors and TV ratings. You guys should try it sometime its quite enjoyable getting beer out of a can and having a BBQ on the hill and it not costing $200 to do it.
We have the best of both worlds, that's why we're the top dogs in this town. Learn to love it, baby.

The whole debate is strange. Port has a model for success. Again, the SANFLites want to bring everyone down to the lowest common denominator and stuff things up. Fantastic idea placing the Magpies in the SANFL reserves where we win by forty goals and make games meaningless.

This is an opportunity for the SANFL to raise their standards to be the second best competition. Right now they are around fourth best competition and taking the Magpies out guarantees the SANFL becoming insignificant.

To become the best, you play with the best.

Why hasn't the VFL got the same problem with their AFL aligned teams?

We don't care what you think! You are here just to troll.

How many games did the roller door play for the bays. Fantastic that they honor the door for its service to community football.

grassrootsfooty's handle is what cracks me up. There is simply nothing grass roots about the SANFL and it's clubs. Once upon a time the SANFL ran as a genuine competitor to the VFL but the arms race was lost, the VFL became the AFL and the rest is history. That the SANFL then attempted to position itself as both "the second best competition in the land" and "real grass roots footy" is nothing short of laughable. Glenelg is structured like any other business who's primary objective is to make money, albeit on a slightly smaller scale but with some very powerful backers. So please spare us the "we're the good solid citizens of SA footy" diatribe. It's a big pile of bullshit.

I would happily go play our reserves in the VFL if these leeches agreed to stop siphoning all our money to fund their comp.

I know a guy that plays for Henley Sharks.
He was recently approached by Gnelg with an offer to play for them.
He laughed at them.

This is what Gnelg has been reduced to.

#grassrootsmakeyourballsitchy
What, Glenelg poaching talent from a grass roots footy club? Noooooo. Never!

And what on earth could Glenelg have to offer that would entice this guy away from playing with his mates at Henley? Oh that's right, money. And where does this money come from? Oh yes, the two local AFL clubs.

You're wrong. There is currently no restriction on the number of AFL listed players that can play in a VFL team.

Agreed, I just finished a one week ban for some pretty mild trolling
Are you allowed to just reply "Agreed" when they write about how shit they are. I know its a cheap troll, and I probably wouldn't do it, but would it get you an infraction?
Maybe "mild" is a little bit understated - it was in the wee hours after our win against Freo with a few under the belt :D

Surely just agreeing with them would be OK

lol, Richmond is like that awkward guy friend-zoned by a really hot bird, always one place away from having a crack and talking himself up to his buddies. One night she gets drunk, drops her guard and lets him have a crack, only to make a fool of himself. He spends the next few days bragging about it, only to find out she's already found someone else.

Guess what? My club puts at least 1000x back into the community than does yours. My club is 1000x more inclusive of its members than is yours. There's more to putting back into the community than just standing on the hill with a beer and a snag you know. And if that is what it's all about then the amateurs have you lot well and truly covered.
Your club is about making money as much as any AFL club, it's just that the AFL clubs do it well and you do it poorly. Perhaps you should be lobbying your club officials to stop sticking their snouts into the trough of AFL generated monies if you feel so strongly about it.
Nailed it. grassrootsfooty please respond to this.

Nah...I reckon Glenelg is like that plain bird at the pub that you think you'll chat up after you have a few brews 'cause every plain bird looks more gorgeous the more you drink, but this one keeps getting even uglier

The cows board are hugely sensitive at the moment. They are tearing their administration and team to shreds but if any other supporter dares to do the same they have an infraction in no time.
Maybe last week when they were planning anti-Trigg banners and t-shirts, but now that they got the win everything seems to be all and well at West Lakes :oops:
