In regards to the proposed merger of the power and the pt magpies, let,s not be conned again. In 1989 the pafc stated they would stand united with all of the SANFL clubs, and only put a team from SA into the AFL on our terms, their rep Dave Boyd gave this assurance, yet we all know how they tried to back door the SANFL and enter their team in the AFL, stabbing THEIR OWN loyal man in the back. We also know how they out smarted the SANFL by setting up a power foundation, where they syphoned money to each year, BEFORE taking out their operating costs, and BEFORE they paid their dividend to the SANFL clubs, which they promised to do each year, which they have NOT done each year. Where has this money been hidden. We also know how the pt magpies were taking the power to court, because they reneged on a deal, to one of their own, to pay the magpies a % of the liscensed club takings, after the magpies were kicked of alberton oval. How can anyone trust this merger, they lied before, they are doing it again. How can the merger help the magpies, the power is a charity case surviving on handouts. If my SANFL club votes for this merger, I will not be renewing my membership in 2010. The end of the magpies will see the end of the bye,which means the remaining 8 clubs will be playing each week, which is what the players want, and allows these clubs to raise money each week, without propping up the club that stabbed the SANFL in the back.
DONT,T BE CONNED AGAIN BY THE LIES !
