Well there's the wooden spoon officially now...

Testing time for the board... as I think a few more players might leave and/or retire...

Sturt must not allow itself to get back-to-back spoons...

What a relief for me. For so much of the year I thought that we would win the spoon and that is something that only happened three times last century (1912, 1978 and 1999) and has already happened once this century, 2003.

How many wooden spoons is that for Sturt now?

You thought your mob would win the spoon in 1912?

Heck, I didn't think you were that old

Way too many... 19 I think... the 8 in a row from 1989-1996, when we nearly folded really ruined the clubs history. Unfortunately we never really capitalised while we were up there, just one flag and two grand finals from 13 or more finals appearances.

It's better than not being there, I certainly think that, but at the same time you can't help but feel you've just not made the most of the good team you had there for a while.

But we're not alone there, apart from Central, everyone has been pretty ordinary for 10 years.

Has the Sturt cheer squad packed up its floggers and left yet?

Maybe they have.

Possibly they are good sports and are currently donating money to Port charity which is the Saint Apollonia fund.
