it's not the intention of the top up list that a mature ager who monstered the VFL last season comes along via this route.
sure, he's had injury concerns, but can obviously play to a very high level.
Just another one of those pills the SANFL clubs are meant to swallow I guess. Duldig etc you got anything to say????

Why do the SANFL still use Burleys when the AFL use Sherrins?
They've adopted the stand rule so why not the footballs too...

Maybe, word from Oval Avenue is the lights haven't lived up to expectations.

I think that's bullshit. At the start of the last week they had only wired up two of the six towers. Two of the towers had been individually turned on to ensure the correct wiring but this had been done during the day time. It's likely the wiring will be completed early next week. Lights will be tested again for correct wiring then the tall crane will be bought in so the lamps can be adjusted and correctly positioned. Should be completed around 15-18 Feb.

The confusion might be over the lights use for night cricket. After the lights were approved the Australian cricket board changed their requirement for the intensity of lights for night cricket, the lights at Woodville Oval originally met the standards but the ACB change has made the lights unsuitable for premier league cricket, 2 day, 50/50 and 20/20. Lower grades can still play under the lights.

He played the 2nd half of the trial match today. Not officially signed yet. Presume they’re leaving to the last minute in case he gets injured?

That leaves just West.
