Have added Walton to the Flaggy list. Is there any missed? I'm hearing Dakota Sterzl is quitting South and is heading to the Vikings. I'm also hearing another couple of big names are on their way out of Noarlunga as well. Another rumour is Flaggy grabbing a 3rd McCormick.

Will not be at South. Not entirely his decision.

Jeez, would have thought he'd be a big piece of their rebuild, what happened there?

I dont believe Mundy and McIvor are outs for the saints. Also might have gotten Daniel Lee back from Willunga which would do wonders for experience in the forward line.

Brutal list of outs for the Shoes...

Agreed on the recruiting though, matches between the top 4 teams will be as good as any getting around

[shoe boy]

Will not be at South. Not entirely his decision.

Jeez, would have thought he'd be a big piece of their rebuild, what happened there?

Currently at Port Adelaide?

[jake the snake]

Noarlunga coach gone already?

Currently at Port Adelaide?

Unlikely I would think. More likely to be at Happy Valley.

[wenchbarwer]

Noarlunga coach gone already?

Surely not...

[Show Time]

With the outs for 2 clubs, I can see this turning into a 8 team comp in 2026. I hope I am wrong but my money is on the SFL board planning a crisis meeting very soon.

[Happytowatchlocal]

The Thunders and the Shoes might make last year's emus look competitive.

They need a team first....

Ironbank's biggest problem is their lack of junior teams, if you can't fill a full program on Saturday, what are you bringing to the league? They seem naturally suited to the Hills Country division, they're miles off being competitive in the SFL, and the gap to the top teams has got way bigger this off season.

Noarlunga are just in a whole world of hurt, especially if news of the new coach calling it quits before a ball is kicked in anger. Would they entertain a merger? They've been going hard on socials about club culture and history, but is it a case of too little, too late?

Noarlunga Ironbank Cherry Gardens Thunder Shoes

The SFL is known for imaginative team nicknames!

[jake the snake]

Kahl from ironbank off to happy valley with G-G

Mulloy from Morphett Vale to CLG

[Dutchy]

Shows what happens when you take your eye off the ball with juniors, in a lot of respects juniors is the heartbeat of a footy club.

Im sure in quite a few clubs they hardly get a mention in committee meetings, its all about senior success.

[SFLanalyst]

Early ladder predictions.

Happy Valley
Flagstaff Hill
Reynella
Port Noarlunga
Cove
Christies
Aldinga
Morphett Vale
Ironbank
Noarlunga

The gap from 4th to 5th The top 4 is gonna be very interesting.

[SFLanalyst]

Porties may slip with some of their outs. Not sure if Kappler is confirmed?

Christies have recruited some decent youth and may surprise but it's the depth that is a worry and there isn't a whole lot coming through from their u17s going off last season. Callum Bennett will be huge for them if he doesn't go around at South.

Cove were jekyl and hyde last year and were in the game for long periods against some of the better sides. Had some bad blow outs though. Riley Holder will have a big impact you would think and make a bunch of those 19/20 year olds walk a bit taller.

Happy Valley most likely to go through undefeated with the talent they have at their disposal. GG should kick 80+.
