What club

Selfishly I hope he heads to the country lol.
He is a top bloke and can play, would be a good asset at another club. Unfortunately for him with Baulderstone staying he wont get to see much action in the ones.
Whatever he chooses to do im sure everyone at Norwood wishes him well

Sumner also gone as far as I know. Disappointing list of outs, this was a group that the Club held hopes for.

Sumner was great the first year back for us after he was delisted by Sydney. The last two years he has been awful and a liability in the back pocket as he doesn't like body contact and looked to be a bit overweight. However, I always thought he had the potential to play better footy further up the ground (particularly on the wing) but was not really given much of a chance there.

Not at all concerned with the lists of outs. We all knew that Powell and Grocke were retiring. Lane is too slow. Blesing is at best a reserves player. Kane was only useful for depth. Culley always injured and wouldn't get a game anyway given how many tall defenders we have recruited. Heinjus, Huppatz, Mackenzie, Muirhead, Fitzgerald are good reserves players but not good enough to take the next step.

RECRUITING UPDATE!
The Glenelg Football Club wishes to announce the recruitment of the 2014 South Australian Under 18 State Captain, Jake Johansen.

Jake, a former Port Adelaide Junior, has decided to make the move to Brighton Road in search of playing consistent League Football.

We are very excited to be adding Jake to our list and we look forward to seeing him in the 'Yellow and Black' for season 2015!

Another sign of the Apocalypse and AFLSA.
Richmond are Yellow and Black, I always thought Glenelg were Black and Gold. Can any Bay fans enlighten me?

The club marketing dept seem to push the "yellow & black" a lot. Most dyed in the wool supporters I know still refer to the "Black & Gold".

The Glenelg Guernsey has always been black and gold in the 55 years I have been following the SANFL. Richmond on the other hand has always been black and yellow. It may be a moot point to some but I would be very disappointed in the marketing department if I were a bay barracker.

[85 WAS A GOOD YEAR]

Yes, definitely Black & Gold

Reminiscing back to my cheer squad days "Black, Gold, Black and Gold"

I believe the reason is that the club song is Richmond's "Tigerland"...yellow and black.

They were great times.
