You say it happened at the Bay but wasn't that just Allen and Alleway resuming from injury and suspension when the Bays had a Bye with them playing at MP and Ironbank respectively, but both are back playing at the Bays after just 1 game at those clubs. From what you and Norwood 8 are saying is that he has turned his back on Sturt and headed back to BushPig Park for not very big $$$. Then again maybe he does get paid "peanuts".

Valley look like they are coming good too at the right time of the year. I also saw a certain S Smith play for Flaggies yesterday, kick 5 goals and get named best on. Bit bizarre he was playing in Sturts league side only 2 weeks ago. MatteeG any knowledge on this??

Last visit to the Pastie I saw a lad have a kick from the clubroom side pocket on the boundary that flicked the tree and went through for a goal...... Surely a 1 hour job to prune it i would of thought.
Valleys tree not over the ground but it does catch a few footy's at trainings and sub juniors especially!!
Finals footy not far away........ any thoughts/ predictions??

What has been become of this once great club?? It would appear that they have become a bunch of SOOKS.
In the game against Hackham a fortnight ago a bit of a Ruckus happens the UMPIRE yellow cards a player from Hackham for as he described it ATTEMPTING to Strike. The Edwardstown leader not happy with this wants to take it further and asks his club to lodge a club report for striking.
So off to the tribunal everybody heads.. Poor little Edwardstown leader breaks down sobbing at how this affected him.. Result 2 weeks suspension for the Hackham player.
When you start to throw stones in incidents like this you really want to be forever well behaved as a club and playing group eventually you will be bitten on the butt!!
Maybe Edwardstown should combine with Sacred Heart then they could all be little boys playing together away from the real men of football.
Did the said leader suffer?? No played on and played again the next week..
Must have been pretty serious!!
One can imagine all the little perceived biffs and bumps that could be reported in a game if we all head down this track there would be nobody left to play after some games..
Just a sign of the times and society we are living in SPINELESS at times

Interesting comment LGIL (I could have said laughable ... at least I got a laugh from it !).
So what you are saying is that if one of your young Saints who has been listed at a SANFL club approached your club and said he wanted to return and play for Christies, you would tell him "No, you can't come back and play for us lest we cause the demise of the SANFL". I don't think so - you would welcome him back with open arms as Flaggies have done with Sam. (in fact I would have thought that had happened at some stage with Christies)
Different story where clubs have actively sought out fringe SANFL players with no association with their club and lured them to leave the SANFL with buckets of $$$$ I think all at Flaggies can sleep well at night in the knowledge that we have not single-handedly destroyed the grand competition that is the SANFL
Down the Hill wrote:But aren't Sturt a monty for finals in league and reserves. This is a guy who played league footy as recently as 28 June. Says more about the blokes character than anything else. What are your thoughts about this 85 WAGY particularly being a Falcon, but also a big supporter of the SANFL comp. Is this another nail in the coffin of the relevance and care factor surrounding the SANFL. How would you feel if half the current Glenelg league team decided to jump the sinking ship at the Bay and headed back to their local and South-East clubs to qualify for finals and earn a higher match payment than they would be getting in the SANFL. Those SANFL payments being lower because most SANFL clubs waste the majority of their salary cap on delisted AFL players who don't end up making a major difference.
