That's not a very nice way to speak about Pigliacelli

Burchall - Houghton (A/B grader)
Cartwright - Elizabeth (B grader)
Cosenza - Central United (A grader)
Forbes - Houghton (B grader)
Adam Grose - Riverland (A grader)
Kratochwil - Houghton (B grader)
Leigh - Salis West (B grader)
McIntyre - Elizabeth (A grader)
Richter - CLG (A grader)
Sobels - Salis West (A grader)
Dean Steele - Central United (A grader)
Wanganeen - Houghton (B grader)
Woolley - Seaton (C grader)

Then the rumours that Phil & Nick Hall + Ben Fuller are heading back to Central United, Burns retiring, Brooks + Tippett back to Kilburn and who knows what Ben Grose will do.. a lot of players to replace.

No, this is what happens when you don't have a good junior setup - you have bigger ebbs and flows, and greater player turnover.

Considering you were associated with St Pauls, Mawson Lakes and now Houghton, would've thought you'd understand the difficulties associated with no juniors.

Yearly merry go round is a harsh call - wouldn't think their player turnover last couple of years has been that great.

I did see Houghton were putting juniors in place, it's good to see, hopefully it can take off.

Ingle Farm are a long way off where they need to be for juniors, but are better than some.

From the outside it looks like this when a large number of A graders leave. I'm sure everyone has reasons for leaving but why does it always seem to happen at once and not just 2 or 3 players every year or so instead 15 at once?

Would have thought football should be off your radar, need to spend more time playing poker.... that's where the real money is
