Oh, Toddy!!!

What I found interesting was the wording on the front page of the Sunday Mail,

"Rising SANFL star Todd Grima"

I bet he didnt do that for nothing

Well the 2011 Glenelg Footy club players trip is in front already, massive fine that coming up!!!

i thought it was the year that the gowans would retire from footy

More likelihood of the game becoming non contact by then.

And blaming everyone else for their piss poor crowds at AO.

The bays go out in straight sets for the 17th year in a row

nup, they will have been forced by the SANFL to amalgamate with Port by then.

Michael Aish used to wear a padded helmet in the 1980's, its hardly a new idea!

As far as protective clothing goes it doesn't look any different from the sort of gear rugby players wear these days.

If it helps prevent injury, especially long term injuries, and can even help prolong a few worthy playing careers without impeding on the way they play then I don't see a problem with it. I'm sure a lot of you scoffed when batsmen started wearing helmets and face guards...I know my old man did...reckon this is no different and just as inevitable.

Sweet, that's good news that we will still be around in 15 years time and won't have rolled belly up and merged like some other little clubs had to.

Proud of the past, confident of the future.

Full body armour, a la the storm troopers in Star Wars for all forms of sport.

Err... let's not forget the REASON for that merger you talk of... A certain club down the road who stabbed everyone in the back... $300 000 in 1989 = what in 2010 ? $4.5 Million + $250, 000 advance dividend + more ???

Proud of the PAST ???
Hmmmm...

Year 2025: SANFL bring in a new rule - If you are found guilty of posing for a stupid photo in the paper you receive an instant 5 week ban.

I thought Todd was the perfect model for that style of football.

Actually, by 2025 we'd be able to describe Todd as "old and slow".
