Panthers and Cupido go separate ways
Press release - Monday 14 November

The South Adelaide Football Club wishes to advise that it has severed ties with Damian Cupido.

Issues arose during the 2006 season with the club deeming Damian was not meeting agreed standards.

Efforts to remedy or reconcile this situation proved unsuccessful.

Damian can now pursue other football interests as he sees fit.

The club has no further comment to make on this matter. For general media enquires please make first contact with Phil Herden, SAFC Marketing Manager on 8186 8217 or 0407 050 770

This was no surprise to most on this site.

Thank God!!!!

Did not prove himself at all.

Keeps the cap down too!!!

Damn! i wont be losing any sleep over the loss.

Some good news for South at last!!!
No great loss I'm afraid. A player with undoubted ability but now his resume says he has been sacked at Brisbane, Essendon and now South. A slippery slope indeed. Will be interesting to see who takes him on. I mean ,a large pricetag and a body to match.

Maybe now all the whingers re: the salary cap will be silent.

Should we expect his signing with Port Adelaide to be annouced within a week or 2?

As one that has questioned South and the cap, yes this certainly does silence me, for the time being....

Maybe not, but I'm expecting his delisting from Essendon to be announced in tomorrow's paper.

& Junkfood corner closes for 24 hours in protest...

How many goals did he kick in 2006?

not exactly sure but was somewhere around the 50-60 mark & that sounds good but i'd bet about half of them were against sturt & west, against glenelg he kicked 1 in the three games he played against us

Kicked 50 + goals in 2006.
And SA supporters ? are saying,
" No great loss Im afraid."
" Did not prove himself."
Irrespective of whether he played AFL or Amatuer League he is a 50+ forward.
He's fat , He's lazy.....HE'S A 50+ FORWARD WHO WILL BE MISSED.
SA made the finals for the first time in years, and Cupido played.

If he's a bad influence thats another matter.

Maybe he could try West. At least it's close to Villis' Cafe

He played in their losing final against South but didn't play in their winning final against Port(due to suspension).
Pretty well sums up what South fans, I and others have been saying.
Ironically after all the hulabaloo about his suspension they would have been better off if he got 2 games instead of 1!

south played 2 finals one with & one without cupido guess which final south won ?

YES THE FINAL WITHOUT CUPIDO V PORT

He'll be a loss to South. Obviously one they are willing to take. If you look at him on even terms and forget about how much he is getting paid, or his history, he made a reasonable contribution to the South side. IMO he was their most talented forward.

No we would have got 4th spot, if Archard, Warren or Davey didn't play....Cupido kept us in it IMHO

We would have got 5th spot if we beat Sturt or North (2nd game) at the Bay......
