What I was expecting was a turn out of passionate Sturt fans. To be put simply.....when their club needed them the most they did not show up. Really disappointing as I thought I would be standing in a crowd of excess of 5000. Good one you Sturt supporters that turned up and Port supporters as well but after tonight I have massive concerns for the Sturt footy club and the SANFL in general.
Like CC has said, Sturt great footy in parts then they just lose the marbles.....over use of the handball stood out and undisciplined footy. I thought some passages of play were brilliant but on others they were woeful. Duldig not used when free really stood out.
Port...first half was some of the worst footy I have ever seen in the SANFL comp.....and that's a massive call being a South supporter. After half time came out and took the game on so credit to them for doing that.
Overall good to see how 2 other sides are travelling. From Round 2.... don't think either will be there in September but who knows really after 2 rounds.

The umpiring was appalling - anyone else see the holding the ball not given at the southern end WTF!
And Sturts gimme extra goal when their player ran into 2 Port players after kicking a goal?
Serious problems at SANFL level if this is the sort of shite being served up

Overall, what should have been a superb night with a big Sturt win in front if a big crowd was a true let down. I feel sorry for Matt Benson and those working their arses off to save this club. To them, keep going, you're doing a top job. To the players and supporters, lift your game.

Last night probably signalled the end of the Sturt Football Club. If the fans won't rally and support their team in time of need then they deserve to lose their club. PW Sturt supporters you will not help yourself so don't expect any help from other parties.
