Exactly.

He'd rather see Port sink and the Crows row with one oar than have his beloved Nor'ds disadvantaged by any Adelaide Oval-generated welfare cuts.
I just struggle to understand the sense of entitlement the SANFL still has..

Yes it was the root of footy in this state and both clubs owe their very existence to it but ffs that was 20+ years ago and in every one of those years they siphoned off more than they should have, incredible sums of cash from the 2 AFL clubs surely now with the land at West Lakes up for sale and their debts paids its time the league stood on its own feet?!

How long is the AFL supposed to pump money into the SANFL for exactly until the end of time? Why do these people think its their right to claim that?

Why do Port and Adelaide have to be run like ' modern businesses' and if they cant cut it GTFO meanwhile 100K can go missing a Westies and it takes 2 years for that to even be made public let alone repaid...

Dumb dumb just struggled to get the word significant out, I think he should stick to 1-2 syllable words.

He then went on his Port supporter rampape saying "those that bring down Adelaide Oval will get both barrels"... ugh Bigfooty needs a facepalm smiley. I liked the one at TPFP, we should find that one & add it to the collection.
Maybe he's a Crows fan, because it's easier to say "Adelaide" than it is to say "Port Adelaide." :)

The guys on League teams were doing the mock AA lineup & they pick Lindsay Thomas in their side ahead of Robbie Gray! Mooney said Gray was stiff to miss out. Look at the stats how can you pick that diver Thomas ahead of Gray? Gray vs Thomas 2014

They had Wingard in the side which is probably a little generous given he's taken a while to play to his potential though his form is definitely building but i'd have Gray ahead of Wingard on the AA field easily.

During our preview Lynch rattles off stats he was given "Robbie Gray leading the comp for score assists" yet can't fit him in their AA side? :rolleyes:

Some of the smileys we had on TPFP wouldn't make it onto BigFooty, they wouldn't get past the obscene filter. Which is a pity because they weren't really obscene, just slightly risque and also offensive to cows followers trolling our board.

Yes. And the guy tinkling on the cow and the one pulling his pants down. Things unfortunately do seem to be getting a bit over-PC. I have even noticed that on quiz shows when the answer is the planet Uranus they pronounce the a as in bat instead of a as in lame.

I have a dream that one day i will be able to listen to a sports show in Adelaide and it will be interesting, unbiased and accurate. The glass is half-full :)
At the moment, it seems just like a dream Power Girl. Apparently, in the 1890's the media used to support the underdog that was the PAFC. I can't see things changing, in SA, in the near future. Fortunately, the Victorian media love us at the moment. :)

Street talk Maslin beach good lord they didn't use near enough pixels in some of those scenes. I think that might be the furthest the PC barrier has ever been pushed in Sam Newman's career.

I just struggle to understand the sense of entitlement the SANFL still has..

Yes it was the root of footy in this state and both clubs owe their very existence to it ........
o_O

Both the SNAFL and the AFC owe their very existence to the PAFC.

PAFC est 1870
SNAFL est as SAFA in 1877 becomes SNAFL in 1907. PAFC a founding club.
AFC est 1990 with funds from SNAFL clubs, largest of which at the time is PAFC

SANFL snouts in the trough since 1907

Apart from the fact your totally right, what that also highlights Seany is what great draft picks they were. Both 2006 picks in the 50's. Great draft that one turned out to be.

Yes it was the root of footy in this state and both clubs owe their very existence to it but ffs that was 20+ years ago and in every one of those years they siphoned off more than they should have, incredible sums of cash from the 2 AFL clubs surely now with the land at West Lakes up for sale and their debts paids its time the league stood on its own feet?!

How long is the AFL supposed to pump money into the SANFL for exactly until the end of time? Why do these people think its their right to claim that?

Why do Port and Adelaide have to be run like ' modern businesses' and if they cant cut it GTFO meanwhile 100K can go missing a Westies and it takes 2 years for that to even be made public let alone repaid...
Let me put it as simply as I can...

The SANFL do not give a toss about the AFL, or either Port or the Crows.
The Crows only came into existence as a means to hamper Port's progress and success.

They are anti-AFL.

For how long did the flogs think they were the number one competition in the universe?
Then the AFL emerged and quickly stamped that notion out of their thick skulls. So now its on to "we are the second best competition".
One day a true AFL Reserves competition will emerge, and then the SANFL will move on to we are the "third best competition".
And they know this, so they will try and force Port and the Crows(who wont be forced but will willingly bend over and take it), to sign agreements that rape them of substantial revenues, so they can keep their own ailing competition running.

There is no ambition from the bosses or the club bosses to improve and become better. We can see this very clearly with the tantrums they are throwing over Port being top of the ladder, we will see it even clearer at the end of the season, after Port has dominated it.
That is why they will never be anything more then a shadow of what the SANFL used to be.

They should all roll over into their grave already before their corpse stinks up the landscape any further.

They don't give a toss.
The Crows only exist to spite Port.
And when it comes to Port and the AFL, they see both as a revenue source they can abuse and treat with contempt.

The AFL's own media unit, that runs their website and provides good online content, is my target for headshaking today.

As an International Member one of the perks of the deal is that I get a annual subscription to watchafl.com.au. And one of the perks of that is that I am supposed to get an electronic AFL Record subscription. So today I get an e-mail announcing how to get my AFL Record for Ipad.

And Ipad only.

Sorry but I'd almost rather get a Crows 3-game membership than a Ipad. Overpriced, pretentious piece of crap!
