I know ur close to Josh but geez his indicisiveness has left him burning a few sporting clubs.

Mate I'm not close to him at all I think with what he has been gifted through natural talent this is a waste. Had the world at his feet was on a AFL list and tbh is still good enough to get back on one and to turn his back on the that blows me away.but that's his choice and I don't care one way or the other its his future.

Pencil us in for bottom 2, if we lose cj and Glenn, unless we can draft some midfield "guns", which I doubt it. Depressing.
How very positive of you.

Two key players leaving, constant crap news about the sanfl direction, nothing to be positive about yet.

It has been a big but unacknowledged problem for a long time IMO, but what to do about it?
Restrict training both starting preseason and during the week during the seasons? But does this then promote mediocrity? On the other hand, NFL players have written into their Agreement the number of times coaches can have contact with them.
Find new revenue avenues so we can compete with the lesser leagues? Not sure what the AFL would think of this, butYou'd think the AFL would acknowledge the importance of second-tier comps, especially for those delisted players who have only been footballers since school.
Acknowledge that, if so many players in their prime don't want to play at this level, or only seem to play for a couple years, then perhaps the SANFL is an irrelevant league and we should just wrap it up?
