Who’s the golden boy? Interested to know who it is?
Trengrove got done for drink driving after the GF last year.
Glenunga’s Nick Wundke was given a five-match suspension by the tribunal on Wednesday night for a “careless and severe” bump on St Peter’s OC player Will Montgomery during Saturday’s match

I must say though, I found it a bit rough for an article to be on the Adel Now website where they named and shamed Wundke.
Sure it wasn’t his greatest moment, but no need to have an article on it.
I'm not sure what a full-forward is meant to do when he's on the lead and an opposition player steps in front of him to take a mark. Watch on slow-mo (exact impact is 110.01.56) and there's not a lot of time differential between Montgomery's attempted mark and the clash with Wundke. No contact with his elbow at all, but their heads clashed. No chance to pull out of the contest. No malice in the incident. No one likes to see those clashes, but to me, it was an unfortunate outcome of a contact sport.

I doubt many would agree with you on that one. He clearly wanted to make him earn it. I’m not saying he meant to get him that badly. But unfortunately it turned out that way because the intent appeared to be there.

In this day and age all games are video’d and free for all to see. News reporters would be all over anything and Adelaide Now are the bottom feeders of reporting. Hence why you have to pay for their subscriptions. I never have and never will feed their pockets.

Don't disagree but its also a reflection on modern day society...…
Most of the population 'want' to watch a trainwrec. You can guarantee a video of a football punch up would generate more views than that of a brilliant goal on the boundary. The media are just feeding society what they want to see.

And that is exactly why the league need to stamp out ANY acceptance (or trying to justify) this type of incident - there is not one moment where the Glenunga player is making the ball his intent - his hands/arms were never in a position to tackle or take possession - he chose to bump and pays the price.

Everyone sees incidents differently, but I'd suggest it's very hard to tell from that footage that he wasn't trying to mark the ball. A forward doesn't lead out from the goal square with his arms in front of him all the way.....

Unless it was the old C7 division. Bless

Yes, of course he can. Most SANFL clubs redirect their dropped players back to their grassroots clubs.

I know there would be an open door policy for players getting dropped from SANFL Ressies to local clubs but I would have thought if a player is dropped from the League side then they would need to play Ressies for their SANFL club or seek a clearance to play at their local club. Obviously this would exclude top-up players from Port and Adelaide.

You need to be clearer with your question Blue Demon. At 8 SANFL clubs if a player is dropped from the league he plays Reserves the next week. Unless he has been left right out for other reasons which would normally mean the league club won't allow him to play at his local club. But if it's a top up player with Power or Crows the lads 'reserves' team is his local club so of course he can drop back. That is the whole idea of the top up player system.
