Agreed! lets not tarnish our great local league, let them play in the VFL. What the AFL should do is setup a reserves team for each of the 18 AFL clubs and use them as a curtain raiser to each proper match (I for one would enjoy going to the footy early to watch the youngster battle it out)
This makes sense.
My SANFL club got taken over by the Power. It was the lesser of two evils, the other being bankruptcy. Magpies to become the Power reserves is logical though. I often wonder if that was the case in 1997 if I would have jumped from Crows to Power as many others did.
It would be more of a benefit for the Crows and Power to have reserves sides in the VFL. They play a more AFL style of footy.
AFL Reserves would be awesome.

My word is Sturt will not last that long and even seeing this year out is a problem.

Sturt are not getting my Eagles boys, no way in a million years. If a Crows resrves side hurts the SANFL, the I don't want a bar of it. We can surive without one.

If they get drafted they're not yours anymore.
I can see why having them playing against you would be shit though, the VFL for Crows reserves would perhaps be more palatable
I hope the SANFL step in & save Sturt.
With what?
New plays , new coaching staff , new powers to be be & vey good mini draft picks.
Heaps of cash from the SANFL & AFL
Why would the afl care. They want to take over. No more for the sanfl.
Well they did say ages ago that they would help state leagues
The problem is that the Power have had to be propped up to the tune of around $13 million dollars to keep them afloat and this has come from the SANFL, which now has no cash reserves and can't borrow any more.
There'll be another $3 to $4 million to cover for the Power again this year, and that's why the AFL doesn't want to take Port over until after the end of the season, while on the other hand the SANFL would dump them now. Neither party wants to have to cough up this shortfall.
Port Power has killed the ability of the SANFL to prop up its own member clubs.
AFLs help always comes at a cost, the cost of their help would probably be equivalent to selling your soul.
it is quite ironic really, most Port fans blame the SANFL for their demise when in Fact the Power will eventually be the demise of the SANFL.
Did anyone see that article in the Advertiser/on AdelaideNow about SANFL players leaving to play in country leagues because they can get more money?
I know an ex SANFL Ruckman who did just this. His one goal was to play 50 games for the club he loved then earn some "real" money.

They may have to care when keys etc are handed to them by Sturt
Throw out all clubs who are not profittable. Make it a 2 or 3 team competition. Then Souths are a good chance to get in a prelim at the very least.
Especially if you are tall... I know some very average players on $800 plus who just happen to be tall... And no training...

I think we all do, there's a massive thread on one here.
