Yes... deluded indeed.

As a Sturt supporter I have no problem with the website itself but the contents well no I don't agree with this.

I can understand the guys passion, who knows had we not fallen off our perch in the 80s we may have been in a position to mount a serious bid for the 2nd licence on our own.

But yeah the thought of Sturt being in the AFL these days is delusional, likewise thoughts of Norwood being there.

Personally I'm glad. I love my SANFL footy and would hate to have to travel interstate to be at every game or having to pay $22 to see my team.

Footnote: When the WCE and Brisbane entered the league in 87, the SANFL's anti-VFL stance was steadfast at the time and there were people who thought SA were many years off fielding a team. There were clandestine moves to sneak a team into the VFL, before Port's bid. Sturt were in a precarious position finacially at the time and there were rumours floating around of several business people wanting to buy the club and move up a level. Sturt's move to the Adelaide Oval for home games two years previous also made them seem a 'good' choice. Luckily it ended up only being a pipe dream in a few peoples minds.

I am hoping that SA will NOT get a 3rd AFL team. There's no way that Adelaide can support 3 teams and although predicted when the Crows and then Port entered the AFL, it really would be the death knell for the currently viable SANFL.

I think the guy's a genius of humour actually. He's not being serious and doesn't expect us to take him seriously. I mean the bit about the "S" on the shield representing the River Torrens, and the football the Adelaide Oval.....really!

He's just mucking around.....
