Are Sturt 2011 imploding

[whufc]

I think Gum will stick with Sturt. Beach club can't offer enough - yet.

Probably could if they off load one of there players to another SANFL club

[csbowes]

What? No "crisis" in the article's title? Damn.

true but to lose all of

Nelson
Thurstans
McGlone
Bode
Wark
Herring
Bowen

More than likely lose the best and fairest Giles

and possibly losing

Chambers
Evans
Kurtze
Vassall
Gum (apparently had talks with a club near the beach)
McDonald

Cant be great for the club you would think!

Can someone tell me where all these guys have gone? As I know of those who've retired... but there's a couple there where I hadn't heard of leaving... maybe my house is like living under a rock.

According to this post:

Nelson- Retired
Thurstans - Retired
McGlone - Interstate for work (Melb or Syd?)
Herring - moving interstate to Perth
Bowen - Chosen to go to amateurs
Bode - Contract not renewed - aka sacked
Wark - Study commitments
Giles - Likely AFL target

Bode has been told his not required at Sturt
Wark is not playing SANFL due to uni commitments
Herring is moving to Perth
Bowen has retired as well.

FWIW that interpretation of your post didn't occur to me, I took it as some sexual allusion.

Me too - and with Dutchy being a bays supporter my eyebrows were well and truly raised.

It is a nice view down at Christies, always plenty of room in the cap if the club did feel that he could be worth pursuing.

Gum is not leaving. All is well.

That would be like leaving Bart Cummings stables to shovel sh1t at the local pony club.

As opposed to shovelling dog sh1t off the current playing surface for training and matches?

Now that's unfair. We don't have a 80kmh continuous gale across the ground to do our cleaning for us.

LOL - Nice one Centurion.

Whoops! Am I in the wrong thread? I thought this was about Sturt imploding (which I think they may be)... Fortunately we have a great number of young stars to call upon. Hope Norman doesn't drive them away...

[Injured Phantom]

Evans signed on dotted line yesterday ... not sure if its a case of so called imploding or guys looking elsewhere for opportunities (or $$'s). Great to have Craig stay in the double blues for a while longer.

A sturt fan trying to get a "Sturt-imploding" discussion back on thread. Now I've seen everything.

I'd love to know where this feeling of "Normo driving people away" is coming from.

talk to mrs fish then

There is no Mrs. Fish - can we go back to talking about Sturt imploding?

[Barto]

There's been a few blokes retiring, it's hardly a case of the place falling apart and all those players are running off to other clubs etc.

According to that article, there's three surprises. The only one's I didn't expect were Wark and Herring. It's only the latter that's buggering off.

& possibly gum very soon

[SANFLnut]

So if Evans, McDonald, Kurtze & Gum have all signed or have announced that they will sign does it still qualify as an implosion?
