No reason given by Davies.
Remarkable timing given Trigg's departure from the Crows. I'm sure he would be on great terms with the Crows given events of the past year.
A movement to the Crows?

Most at the coal face of running the Clubs. We're sorry to see him go because the people involved at Clubs will know that he has been a supporter of them at every point of his time there. The first person in that position to maintain his Club focus - probably why he's left.

Haters will hate but he is a very big loss to the future of the SANFL.
Disappointed is all I'll say

Well said Jimmy.
I see a big problem attracting good quality candidates to fill his and Whicker's positions.
The attraction of working for the SANFL now Footy Park and the AFL licences are gone is next to zero.

He seemed to do a good job every where he went and will probably go very high in sports admin, yada yada yada, but I'll remember him for leaving the Eagles an awful yellow and leaving the SANFL with 2 Reserves teams.

Thanks to Chris, amongst others, the SANFL has no future so not sure what you're getting at here?

I'm guessing he's saying that those who actually work with him or know his work would be in a better position to know his commitment to the SANFL competition and the SANFL Clubs. Find me an administrator or board member who has a bad word to say about his contribution and i'll show you a person in the minority. Haters will hate.

And some of us who work in leagues other than the SANFL
He was a very practical and sensible person to work with.
