Hey Jim

Did it say anything about Barney playing as well ???

Dont know what the situation is at Sturt but I know that a few country clubs made a play for Barnaby and his response was that his back was no good and his playing days were over.

good to have frenchy back but i was hoping that he would play.

What are you suggesting SP?

Welcome back Barnaby French!
I also have heard the rumour about his bad back, but good to have that extra premiership experience back around the club.
And who knows, mid to late-season, if the ruck stocks have been depleted through injury, perhaps the big fella will put on the boots and have a go to help the club out?

Pity about Barnaby French's back as i believe Sturt only needs a decent ruckman,Feast can play second fiddle 2 & another key forward 2 take enormous pressure off Chambers,throw in a couple of quick mid-half fwd type goalkickers & you've got a potent side.Nothing against Feasty,he's very important 2 their side,yet he isn't getting any younger!

last year was one of his best, he is like a fine wine, only gets better with age.

but yes, 1 year older wont help!

So all you want at Sturt to top you off is, a no.1 ruckmen, another key forward and 2 quick goal kicking mid field/forwards. Well whats the problem because the're are stacks of all of them out there and no other team has a similar wish list.

Well if theirs stacks of of all them out their,Sturt should'nt have a problem then G. Barnaby if fit would of been great support 4 Feast I was insinuating,one CHF & 2 mids surely aint that hard 2 find,with so many talented footballers in this country.I was only trying 2 be constructive G & i'm not a Sturt supporter!

My point being that theres not a side anywhere in Aust that doesnt want the same.

I am not suggesting anything.

I am stating the obvious!!

Go U Blues!!
