Hearing rumblings of a mass exodus of some real quality. Do have proven depth through the B grade, which may just keep them in the hunt for a 8 - 12 finishing position. Unfortunately appears to be a backward step after a few years of matching it with the real powerhouses of the competition.
This i would agree with Flaggies showed a lot of promise in 2011, then they needed to continue in 2012 but only to go backwards.
They have lost a lot and gain only a few, but led to believe that purse strings were closed tight(as they have a healthy bank account) and the Coach should have bowed out at the end of last season.
But things could change after the bonding weekend (at Loxton)with minimal footballers attending, only 1/3 of its Senior's A & B attending. great start for a team that wants to improve
I to don't rated Flaggies in the top 8 more like in the the group of 11 to 15.[/quote
Mass exodus ???
Who has left? I know of smith SANFL and Shane Heinrich to Peake. Do agree tho loss of a couple of key players could send flaggies spiralling down the ladder.
Well from what I have heard;
Sam Smith - Sturt
Jordan Johns - Returned home to Broken Hill
Michael Shearer - Overseas
Dane Sommers - Returned to Goody Saints?
Simon Murton - Interstate
And Shane Heinrich to Peake? Geez, I hope he's not getting paid. Otherwise the Peake boys can understandably be upset with their standard of recruiting this year.
