Having been in Adelaide over the weekend I read with interest in today's Adelaide Advertiser that Port Power have been told if it wants to field it's own reserves side it won't be in SANFL it would be in VFL.
Adelaide Crows likely to be told the same in the very near future.
Thoughts?
Will wreck the SANFL comp. Peel and East Perth have not set the world on fire with Eagles and Dockers players. They are probably despised by other WAFL teams.
Don't reckon it will happen.

We don't want them in the VFL either.It is Victorian Football League.
The competion has lost its soul; a couple more AFL teams woulds not make much difference
Port Melbourne v Port Adelaide at North Port Oval.
Loved to see that. Both clubs steeped in history.
Unfortunately or fortunately depending on posters views, chances of Crows and Port Adelaide playing in vfl would be as much chance of Yarraville and Northcote re joining and comp being re named VFA.

great, just what the VFL needs, more AFL 'pollution'.... :(
It's hard to blame the SANFL clubs for not wanting them.....they've already watched Victoria destroy its' football heritage from the inside out and don't want the same to happen to their competition. I imagine they see it as a case of "let the Vics have them, since they're already f...ed".
Wouldnt bother me much at all, this comp is such a hybrid already I dont see a couple of interstate teams making a difference. Would just give our boys on the hill some fresh ammunition!
One downside is it would make an 18-team comp which would mean basically playing each team once, which would be a shame.

Yeah...agree with the above...there's been so much change in the comp, 2 teams from Adelaide isn't really going to cause that much disruption...we had the Gold Coast Suns in for a year..plus we'd get a trip to Adelaide which is a real football town(city)..you can either embrace the concept or hate it...if it happens...and it's a BIG if...then I'll embrace it...another 2 grounds to try and chalk up a win

will have to rename the league to VFASANFL - what a mouthfull!!!... lol
Mention on radio that SANFL seeks funding from AFL for SA country v WA country matches next year. I hope that to get funds there is not the condition that SANFL will have to admit Crows and Power sides.
