Heard Alex Jolly has quit salisbury to try out at centrals. Massive loss if true, prehaps one of the blokes at that club that actually want to play a higher level.

Cue "mental Health" issues

21 day concussion rule doesnt apply to grand finals?
Had to enforce when no one is policing it and relies on clubs to do the right thing
Barilla will 100% be playing

Few north blokes looking elsewhere, sick of Surjans negativity - shouldve kept reeves

Take over a young fitzroy side and bring in Central United thugs - looks like a great recipe for long term success
Tried to change the ways at Units and they didnt want to buy in, i'd be bringing no one and backing the young group they have

Why should there be free agency compensation?

Player is out of contract, fulfilled his obligations, original club doesnt need to be compensated

Players need to be able to be traded without their consent and scrap the whole academy/FS picks

Any system that encourages you to trade away high picks for lower picks to get make believe points is a joke

If the rumours going around are true then the photo, on top of the races, were enough for Collingwood to offload him.
Made his position untenable.
Silly boy.

what photo?
Mcstay and his missus went into a toilet cubicle for some fun time gf night.
Jack took a photo of her over the door and passed it around to people.
Apparently it was Mcstay that took the photo of Jack doing coke so he's paid him back.
Allegedly!
But he's gone so there must be some truth to it....maybe?
Where's Booney telling everyone to STFU if you weren't in the cubicle. Different rules for different posters

Don’t sleep on Salisbury, going to be near impossible to stop with their recruiting drive and their home ground advantage.. Sean Hee, Brad Prior and James Gameau the first 3 of many signings!

The demons will be okay

Elizabeth will still suck

Salisbury losing Mitchell slater to Golden Grove will be a big loss for them.
Slater to Golden Grove confirmed
Barmby must be a quality human. Poaching players from his home club who battled to field a side 12 months ago. Also going after other Salisbury players. Not sure div 1 success will be built off div 6 players until there next ex afl recruit arrives.

I think another question is how do you reatin all your juniors as well when mum and dad see your seniors in div 1 or div 6 what will they choose. At this rate every junior player will be registered with Grove Glenunga TTG PNU Henley. When your better kids go to sanfl programs they also try to push them to div 1 or 2 clubs. So getting poached from everywhere. Then they become zero pointers for those clubs as well. And the cycle continues.....

Jaensch to Riverton from Nairne who were a very impressive side knocking Hahndorf off twice in the finals to win the HFL D1 flag. Got a cannon of a left foot and I think he will enjoy the bigger drier decks out your way. Handy get for Riverton.

Riverton is a massive deck as well so they will love that.

Hearing Mitch Clisby to North Clare as well.
Mitch clisby coaches North Adelaide under 18s so would be a limited capacity.

100 goals is impossible whuffer - would literally need to be kicking a goal like every 45 seconds for 4 quarters.

How Fitzroy got 80+ is still beyond belief. Quarters are 20min (plus time on).. must’ve been some fast clearance + goal work.
Maybe Fitzroy supplied their time keeper. Same bloke who let an A grade game run longer to ensure a draw last season.

Eastern Park deserved to win no question

Salisbury had a horrible day. Broken Ankle 10 mins in, broken collar bone in the second quarter, finished with 16 fit players and tried to run it out but was always going to be up against it after half time. Not sure if outcoached as mentioned by someone but probably not too many options to be able to stop the momentum. EP targeted some blokes and i guess when you win you say it was a justified game plan, no doubt their coach is a good motivator but not sure it will be as successful going up the divs if they all are playing next year as plenty at the ground were saying coach is quitting and plenty of players on the move again. Actually hope thats not the case and the club can try to push back up divs instead of going up and down every few years. Kovacic or McMullen medal winner in my eyes but i dont pick it

B grade was all one way after quarter time and Salisbury thoroughly deserved to win. As mentioned also by someone else f*** Lutheran

Cricket season now anyway, time for a break and do it all again next year

How was the massive dive from Zac East in the goal square to basically decide a grand Final. Horrible umpiring decision. East would have to be close to 120kg, no way that puts him down. Great to see Herzick win another flag though and looks like Willaston made the right call after lots of doubters about his appointment

Just heard Rawlings & Kennerley didn’t go down to the Glenelg change rooms post match. If true, that’s pretty poor form…

I’ll be disappointed if there’s not a good reason for that
Do they really need to these days? They would've shook hands with everyone on the field. Whats the point of going in the rooms and saying congrats when you dont want to be in there and do Glenelg really care?

i wouldnt be attending any party with you so it wouldn't concern you.
You absolutely have an issue with everything

Yesterday on SEN, Rucci said something along the lines of, " a lot are asking how Glenelg are doing it, given the salary cap" . This was before the Partington announcement.
maybe off set by Snook Gould maybe Curran not playing and others sacrificing money for success / culture. I think most people would be staggered what McBean is on compared to others in the league

I dont pretend to be an expert at all and dont watch a lot
However i have seen a few games recently and it doesnt appear to have improved from day 1
Crowds and media attention dont seem to be as high as previously
LIke i said, no expert or even a big watcher. i know AFLW will be here to stay but is the product any better to watch or being followed more since year 1

Latest Updates....

Min Man have signed 3 A Graders from Nurioopta. That will be their points allocation used up. They also have ex juniors Hugo Stockman and a Nicholls lad returning from Perth.

South Clare and BBH coach less still i believe, albeit both trying to actively recruit.

BSR have picked up Tommy Harslett from Kapunda and Henry Durrant from Southern Flinders. Both will most likely play B Grade but will add some much-needed depth and immediate A Grade talent to the squad.
Charlie already delisted from Freo?

Van Kempen trying his hand at SANFL level too. Will play for PHOS if not selected.

I love JVK, he gives 100% effort every single time.

Any ins from Div 3 got names yet?

Pretty quiet.

Keanu MiIller to North Haven should be pretty handy
