4 Sturt Players Suspended from Under 18 for not meeting the requirements.... etc.....

Who are the players?
May Cost them getting drafted?

Seems indicative of how things are run down there at Unley.

A shambles.

I hope the silkmeister wasn't one of them...............

I love the two contradictory threads bobbing up at the same time.
Nice work R&B

Perhaps StrutPierre can respond to this one...

I wouldn't be too concerned with his opinion.

Judging by the story I got, it was handled very professionally by the SFC. Just a couple of young blokes getting on the turps when they shouldn't have been and I know that there's very few people who post here who can throw stones in regards to that.

One would assume an U/18 comp meant the players involved are under 18,thus not allowed to drink,regardless of the expectations placed on thier on field performances?

Perhaps they had fake id's, in the name of Brian McGee?

Ummm I think old Silky was on the turps!!!...care to elaborate SS???

Very unprofessional, we should be more like the sanfl clubs.

port, norwood, north, south, west centrals, eagles and glenelg are great. They are fantastic. All we can do is aspire.

I agree Sturt are headed in the wrong direction.

Good on them learn from the old school way of gettin on the gas! Absolute legends!!!

They were punished...immediately cleared to Port where they would fit in !

Yep Underage drinkers and just stuffed up their chance of getting drafted and $200k p.a. salaries....great comment

Just a couple of thoughts.
firstly, I do not condone under age drinking ( I have a 17 y.o. son, it's a worry esp. when they have a drivers licence ....ask most parents ), but serious question...How many of us didn't drink before we we legal age, AND , did you always do what you were told ??
Silly decision by the lads involved to break the team rules, but we were all young & stupid once , and these kids have a bit more to lose than I ever did.
secondly, and again a serious question , do talent scouts only observe players at the under age championships ? Or do they look further ( ie under age grades & association games ? )
Admittedly, these lads have seriously compromised their chances of being spotted, and a chance to show their talent against the nations best juniors, and that will serve as part of their self inflicted punishment .
I guess it's not the end of the world , but they have made their chances all the more difficult, but not impossible.

agree they are still a good chance to get picked up if they are good enough, however the exposure you get at the champs is second to none

I would think that this experience for the Sturt boys will do more good than harm in the long term
