Fair effort in his first year of SANFL!
Didn't like the SANFL?
Missed the country life & his tennis buddy?

Yeah 100%
What i will say though is that a few of the new recruits have been involved in the state set up and been identified as talented by more than just our club. For me that hopefully means there is a few with massive league football potential even if it's not this year.
The challenge for the club will be holding onto everyone. I'm sure there will be some hits and misses amongst this lot, some will get what they were promised whilst others might not.
At this stage though the quantity of recruits is great but the quality is the big unknown.

I hear to be ably supported by a pretty talented B Grade coach, as well

As you say, many have played State underage football in the past three or four years, with a number being either captain or vice-captain. As such, I believe not only will they prove to be quality footballers but, nearly equally as importantly, quality men.

I hope you're right, as a strong Centrals will only benefit the SANFL.
However, some underage state selections are influenced from outside the group, and some AFL clubs like to have a say as well. It's the only possible explanation how Brodie Grundy's younger brother made both a state team and an AFL list...

I will just be the face of all the drama
Matt's dad will be my assistant, played over 500 games for the club, won the mail medal and multiple premierships. He will most definitely be the brains
