That is a shit fixture in anyone’s language.

Meanwhile, the Hybrids get their first 3 games at home.

Might be making up for season 2023 go back see how many games in the first round the eagles played at home

Which was at the Eagles request as they were doing renovations at Woodville Oval.

True but the poster is complaining about eagles getting 3, home games at the start of year , doesn’t it mean 3 away games end of the year.
And rather than whinge online complain to the SANFL then again whinge online or complain to the SANFL same end result nothing will change

didnt WA sell this Rort Lincoln game to Nw ? 80k?

Complaining lol. Just showing the juxtaposition between the two. Have a precious day.

So Nw get 3 home games to start the season?

Hows West first 3 games look?

Seems fair

I saw a brown paper bag being passed under the table dutchy at the Rort Lincoln Hotel.

Not sure if it was the 80k or the footy trip money for Nw lying down LY

South start with 3 home games as well.

Fair enough I don’t have issues where games are played you have to win away from home as well
I’m sure finals aren’t won at home grounds

The crowd count last year was 996 to the 4 brave souls that banged on the fence behind the goals for West.

They have also bought in the boundry to exact NW Oval size and have put on a lunch for the snobs at the RSL across the road (traffic will be stopped to allow them to cross)

The Eagles started last year with the first 4 or 5 matches away.

12 percentage points between 5th and 6th tells a story of how the season is shaping up.

These look excellent

They do?

I agree mate they're better than excellent, they're fan-bloody-tastic!

To quote Jackie Chiles (attorney at law) with a hint of Bruce: "it's delicious, scrumptious, outstanding!!"

The Blues kicking more goals at Unley Oval.

Permanent perimeter fence to be re-installed.


At last night's City of Unley Council Meeting, Agenda Item 5.1.3 regarding the proposed perimeter fence at Unley Oval was passed with a vote of seven in favour and four against.

We extend our gratitude to those members who took the time to write to councillors and to those who were present at the meeting. The gallery was packed, demonstrating the significance of this issue to our community.

Moving forward, the Council’s administration will be tasked with investigating concept designs and costings for the perimeter fence. We are committed to actively participating in this process with the aim of eventually installing the fence at Unley Oval.

We understand that there are concerns within the community regarding this proposal. We want to reassure everyone that our use of Unley Oval under the terms of our License and Lease will not increase. Additionally, the closure of gates for ticketed Sturt Football Club events is expected to occur approximately 12 times per year.

As we embark on this next stage, we urge all members and supporters to approach discussions with respect for differing viewpoints. Your cooperation and understanding are greatly appreciated as we work towards enhancing the facilities at Unley Oval for the benefit of our club and the wider community.

Thank you for your ongoing support.

Yours faithfully

Sue Dewing
Chief Executive Officer

Sturt have done remarkably well to thrive under a council that not only has hardly helped them but in some cases has actively worked against their existence.

The fact that they have had to fight to get a fence for so long is unbelievable.

How hard is it for the precious NIMBYs to negotiate a gate to enter the ground for the 97% of the time that it’s actively not used by the club.

Has been costing the club approx $30k pa + all of the volunteer time to erect the fence for home matches.

New benches being installed now, a new larger electronic scoreboard is on the horizon and investment into Urbrae School for a more permanent second training / match venue.

Some good stuff happening.... particularly from where they have come from.
