What a fantastic servant of the SANFL and Sturt FC Jade has been. One of the best players I've seen in our League for the last 20 years and a great bloke as well.

Congrats Sheeds, well done.

From Sturt FC:

JADE SHEEDY STURT & SANFL CAREER
- Recruited in 2000
- 250 League Games for Sturt Football Club
- 8 Reserves Games for Sturt Football Club (2000)
- Played in 9 SANFL Finals Series
- Premiership Player 2002
- Joint Magarey Medal 2002 with Tim Weatherald
- Co-Captain 2007 with Ben Nelson
- Club Captain 2009 to present
- P.T. Morton Medalist 2004, 2006, 2008, 2009
- 5 State Games for South Australia, State Captain 2008 & 2009
- Kicked 117 Goals



A very impressive resume for sure. Still not sure how this guy wasn't given a crack on an AFL list, in his prime.

One of very few opposition players I actually don't mind, easily one of the top 10 or so SANFL players for the last decade IMO.

Congratulations Sheeds. One of the few players who began his SANFL career before I left the country who's still playing.
Let's win this one for Sheeds!

by story of my life
saw a fair bit of this bloke in the early to mid 2000's and could never figure out why he didnt get drafted, when you compare him to some blokes that did around that time

Congratulations. I can't recall him playing a bad game against us. One of those players, as mentioned that would not have been out of place in the AFL.

Wouldn't have happened had AFL clubs started looking at "mature age" players a few years sooner.

Out and out champion of the football club.
