He's a man of honesty and unblemished personal integrity, that's for sure.

I really can't see how Trigg, or anyone else, thought they'd get even close to 4,000 - no one g.a.f. about reserves footy. Frankly I'm surprised as many as 200 or whatever are going.
but if the 4000 figure was so clearly bogus, then why didnt the SANFL directors also pick this up? cant say yes and then complain about it after
thats kinda my point. maybe everyone was hoodwinked or at least seduced by the idea of the extra crowds

Very very strong rumour he is off to Brisbane. Heard this from 2 sources month ago, neither connected but should know what they are talking about. He's taken one for the board and club, came back so all looks good but in reality it's time to move on.

the reserves sides would have been raised eventually even if the move hadnt happened too. its not like the afl clubs decided that they needed them due to a new venue for their a grade games
