With regard to AFL players who go to SANFL clubs through the mini-draft, or even those that came through SANFL to AFL, do you see them at your SANFL club's matches/training/functions much?

For Norwood, I saw John Meesen (wearing NFC club gear), Adam Cockshell (NFC uniform too) and David Rodan at Unley today. Nathan Bassett comes out to training periodically and Kris Massie is about the place from time to time. I always think highly of guys on AFL lists who show a genuine interest in their SANFL club, particularly if they have come to Adelaide from interstate.

I have seen Tyson Edward and Ben Rutten and a few other come to West Adelaide games if they aren't playing AFL that day

Only one Ive never seen at North games is Josh Francou which is one of the reasons I have no time for the guy.
Ironically I quite often see Andrew McLeod and Tyson Edwards and a few other Adelaide players that never had anything to do with North come to North games.
Stoked to hear the other day on 5AA that Tyson Edwards son barracks for the Roosters and not Westies!

I suspect Tyson's in-laws have had a fair bit to do with that!

Exactly, good to see the lad takes more notice from his in laws than his own dad, mind you I don't think his dad has much affinity with the club he came through just helping matters.

I see Pearcey at the Sturt games fairly regularly. A couple of years ago Mattner would come out but not any more.

Treadrea was at the Sturt /Port game last week. Saw him at the barbeque .

Always see Eagles players who play for the crows at the eagles games .
But I have seen Williams at one eagles game not Craig !! Lift ya game Neil ,mind you to be fair have seen Mat Rendall and Peter Jonas .

Maric was sitting in the outer with his missus for the Port v Eagles game. He loves the Magpies.

OFten see Surjan and Shaun Burgoyne and sometimes Scott Thompson as well.
