Sorry, I wasn't meaning to belittle anyone's footy experience. I just don't think we always remember the effort and pain that the vast majority of league footballers go through every week. It's easy to sit behind a keyboard calling someone 'soft' if that's their reason for quitting but given it's pretty difficult to be a professional in the SANFL I can understand why players have higher priorities in life. Although, for us less talented folk it can seem like a small sacrifice if we were given the opportunity to play for the club we love.
Anyway, with Langford supposedly he won't be in the SANFL at all next year but there's some chance he'll be back at North later. I'd like to see him play in the 2s for the year if he doesn't want to make the commitment to the league team.

Aaron-JosephThe Glenelg Football Club is excited to announce the signing of former Carlton midfielder Aaron Joseph.
Joseph, 180cm and 78kg, played 73 AFL matches for the Blues between 2009 and 2013 after originally being recruited from Tassie Mariners in the TAC Cup.
The 24-year-old will add valuable experience to the Tigers’ on-ball division, which has already been bolstered by the signing of former Essendon and Richmond midfielder Sam Lonergan.
‘’I’m really looking forward to challenging myself in the SANFL with such a proud club,’’ said Joseph, who has inked a two-year contract.
‘’Glenelg has a young playing list so it will be exciting to join Sam in playing a mentoring role with so many talented juniors.’’
Joseph is the Tigers’ fourth significant signing this off-season with Patrick McCarthy (Carlton) and Nathan Stark (Melbourne) also returning to the club after being delisted by AFL teams this year.
“Aaron played at Carlton with Nick Stevens, and Nick couldn’t speak highly enough of Aaron as a person and as a footballer as his style will suit the SANFL,’’ Glenelg chief executive Steve Moore said.
‘’We can’t wait for Aaron to join us and add that grunt and experience our list needs.”
More player signings are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

Great pick up. 4 blokes with afl experience recruited now, 2 of which returning to us.
Nice to see more expected too.

I declare the Glenelg Football Club winner of the pre pre season cup.

Bays fans must be highly expectant in 2014 considering the massive losses from other clubs off season.
