Which player, usually a regular at his club has been "rotting" in the reserves and is looking for a change of scenery.?

LBT - you tell us...

Not sure if he's looking for a change of clubs, but Tim Nicholas could fit the bill at the Parade.

well a customer at work told me. I work at Norwood :wink:

. he didnt name names though.

If it was Tim I certainly wouldn't blame him, he's good enough for League and definitely should have seen decent League gametime this season IMHO.

In all honesty this time of year most clubs have players in a similar position. I can certainly think of a couple at the bay

I'm amazed Paul Jarvis still sticks around the Blues. A fantastic team man but it must get frustrating being in the ressies' top 5 week after week, only to be overlooked by young whippersnappers week after week.

Does Jarvis hold any sort of role at sturt? ie. reserves captain or assistant coach?

Ryan Lewis does at Norwood, and is in a similar boat, captains the Magoo's and won the Reserves Magarey last season yet never seems to get a look in for an A Grade game.

Increasingly unhappy about it too apparently.

J. Floreani. Hasn't played League in a while.

Word is Floreani has been spotted training with Mt Lofty

I would imagine the title â€œReserves Captainâ€ is not an honor too may SANFL players would like to have. Lewis is a good player, but im sure he would give back his Resrves Magarey for 4 or 5 league game on the trot.

Yep, the offer of Reserves Captain is usually the sign your league career is over (if it ever started) and has signalled the departure of many players from clubs over the years. I do think, though, that this is just part of the cycle of football life. Some get good runs, some get tough runs - it is up to the individual to make the most of whatever run they get.

Would he get a go at another club??

We were talking about Reserves players and why some of them stick around for so long. My mate (who played league for Port) reckoned Damien Sheehan would have been nudging 250 ressies games. Anyone know the record for ressie games and can anyone find out what D Sheehan ended up on?

Spoggy McGorran won a Reserves Magarey and spent many, many years playing in the Bs for Central District.

Going by what I can find, Sheehan played 161 reserves games and just 20 league games from about 91 through to 2001. Was a pretty good footballer and spent a year or two on Carltons list. Had Hodges, Tylor and Smith ahead of him, then Pooley, then Evans and Beinke jumped ahead. Was pretty unlucky. His brother Justin was also a pretty good player and played mainly reserves.

Mark Wade played 194 resreves games for Port from 89-03. Another who was fairly talented but just never got a game, but seemed content. Spent a couple of seasons at Sturt but came back. Played 38 league games for Port. Won a lot of awards, U17s captain, reserves captain, best and fairest, best team mans, best in finals etc.

Darren Mckay is another. Very good solid midfielder who was very unlucky not to play in a premiership. Excellent depth player. Played 85 league matches and 135 reserves matches from 1989 through to 98.

Adrian Settre is another. Ended with 121 league games and 107 reserves games. Played in 2 premierships, unlucky not to play in 1989, won an U17 BnF, was reserves Magarey Medallist in 88, won a resreves BnF in 98 and kicked 3crucial goals in the 1990 premiership win.

They are the main ones from Port since ive been following them.
