Most 25 year olds when they leave the SANFL, don't come back

Both Monty & Lange have told the club that they will be back at Central in 2027.

Josh Scott said the same thing to Glenelg, as have many others, unfortunately the strike rate of them returning isn't great

Sticks said the same thing when he went to Carlton

The Central District Football Club is pleased to announce the signing of Norwood wingman, Jack Saunders.

Saunders, 23, stands at 181cm and spent two years at the Hawthorn Football Club after being selected as a rookie in 2021. While he made just one AFL appearance, he impressed at VFL level before returning to his home club, Norwood, following his delisting at the end of 2023.

Injuries to his neck and ankle sidelined him for 399 days across the 2023 and 2024 seasons, but the talented wingman is now fit and ready for a fresh start at Elizabeth.

A hard-running, creative, and reliable player who can also feature across half-back or through the midfield, Saunders will bolster our ability to connect play between the arcs and into attack.

Football Manager Mark Ross said he was thrilled to bring Jack to the Club:

“I was fortunate to be at Norwood watching Jack as he progressed through the underage programs, and I was delighted when he got his opportunity at Hawthorn. I’ve always been a big fan of how he conducts himself both on and off the field.

We see Jack’s ability to run and consistently put himself in positions to be used by his teammates as something that will really benefit our team. Unfortunately, he’s had some ordinary luck with injuries, but we’re hopeful that a change of environment will bring a change of fortune.”

We warmly welcome Jack and his family to the Ponderosa.
