All the best Mitch.

That’s the final 5 set, more than likely the top 3 & Sturt the minor Premiership.

Next round Sturt @ Glenelg. If the Bays win then the contest is still open.

Righto, Minor premiership now set, not to mention outright premiership favouritism.

Chris Curran back at Brighton Road?

Question to ask West Adelaide supporters, is Patty Wilson still on the injury list or has he retired?

Every year

Might be more incentive for them to go deeper into September if the A’s are still going…

Final 5 set, even with the Eagles faltering.

There’s a huge danger with the Crows this year, both AFL and SANFL sides are in the finals, and if both get the double chance, then I fear for the result.

Sturt have more than sewn up the minor premiership, but the double chance still wide open with the Bays, Crows and Dogs well in contention.

Not good to have such a wide gap between the top and bottom half sides … North and Norwood are better than that.

West and South are the real worries, despite South’s effort on the weekend.

The SANFL has had to ride some serious bumps over the last 40 years or so, but feel that the comp is now at the crossroads more than ever before.

I think you'll see Norwood come home with a strong breeze & will push for the 5 big time, possibly winning 5 or 6 of their remaining matches.

I don't think there will be an SANFL league competition in 2030. There will be more investment and focus on the junior programs and the U18 competition will be the pinnacle for SANFL clubs. SA's version of the Coates Talent League.

That's a very pessimistic point of view, but kind of understandable.
What do you think would be the trigger for this?

It's often been claimed that a fully fledged AFL reserves comp would turn the SANFL (and WAFL) into "3rd tier" comps.
Yes, it probably would drain more players away, but would it end those leagues?
I doubt it.

The 150th year of the SANFL is coming up in 2027, I'm pretty sure it will get that far at least.
