Merry Christmas

Thebarton Oval

Our original plans to be positioned at Thebarton Oval have been well and truly skuttled. That reference of skuttled should in no way be construed as a negative slant on our position. It simply presents a new challenge and indeed our League Executive have represented the Clubs who elect them to manufacture an outcome that whilst our claims to compensation have now been agreed to in principle, we can be moderately content with our position when the final chapter to this book can be closed. Throughout this journey, we make no apology to putting a stake in the ground and holding firm on our very well-established legal position in the interests of our Clubs and by extension, The League and our future.

Though the lessons learned as we continue to explore every possible benefit to The League whether it be for the present day or to what may be legacy decisions to stabilise a platform for the next generation of management of this League to operate from is to ensure we remain in absolute control of our own destiny accepting a need to collaborate with the football community at large for the good of footy generally.

As the governing body of football in South Australia, we will continue to work with SANFL, if not hold them accountable though to be fair to them, it’s an accountability they willingly accept on behalf of football of which we are a major stakeholder. Though our very clear priority is to ensure what is good for footy, is primarily what is good for our clubs.

Whilst we are fully cognisant of the commercial value the Adelaide Football Club will bring to the Thebarton precinct and in turn the asset value for the West Torrens City Council, we are genuinely saddened our time as a commercial partner of our former landlord has now come to an end. Terry Buss, Angelo Catinari and Councillor Kym McKay have been the most wonderful of hosts for what was a 17-year collaboration, and we wish them well in the future and extend out most sincere appreciation.

Long story short, we’re nearly there.

They seem to think Milera will be right for the trial games but the history is not great.

That's not even a question.

That's still won more premierships than you.
