Good luck to Judd, he's had a terrible run with injury.

Bigger than that Mottram basketball fella that played a couple of ressies games (?) for West, Lee?

Former Port Magpies defender Aseri Raikiwasa has signed with the Eagles...

Central were pretty keen to get Aseri in 2014, not sure if they spoke to him again...

Also, former player Scott Matthews returns to the club to coach the Reserves...

Not sure, Phil, he wasn't around long enough for me to take notice of his boots.

He did have a 2XL jumper though Very Happy

Fair enough...

Well, he was 7 foot 21 so surely his boots would have been bigger than Judd's !!!

Good pick up by the Eagles, getting Raikiwasa, although he is not a quick, running midfielder, which is what they need, I think...

Eagles definitely needed a key back so good pick up.

Scott Matthews was a good player to watch - took some massive speccies back in the day. There were some exciting players through that time - with him, Pavlich and Burton roaming the forward line. About 3:15 in this video is an example! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xA6UR5eW5A

A couple of OUTS for the Panthers...

The South Adelaide Football Club advises that the following players will not be continuing in 2015 –

Frazer Dale, recruited from Carlton, 20 games, 8 goals

Todd McKay, Port Noarlunga, 33 games, 8 goals

John McDonald, recruited from Sturt, 18 games, 7 goals (23 games previously with Sturt)

Cam De Visser, recruited from Sacred Heart OCFC, 9 games, 6 goals

South Adelaide General Manager – Football Neill Sharpe said it’s always disappointing when players decide to move on.

“SANFL football is a serious competition and requires a genuine commitment and a real passion to play at the level. We’re disappointed that Todd McKay and Frazer Dale have decided to move on as we think their best football is ahead of them. Unfortunately the demands of the competition aren’t for everyone.

“John McDonald and Cam De Visser have had some injury issues in recent seasons and are at stages in their working life where they feel they need to concentrate on their careers.

“We thank Frazer, Todd, John and Cam for their contribution to South Adelaide and wish them all the best in their future endeavours.”

Will watch with interest a young Mahney making his way into Port's Academy side.

by Big Phil Tue Nov 18, 2014 11:09 am

Dale is a BIG out for the Panthers, in my opinion, I was very impressed with him.

DeVisser has signed with Ironbank Cherry Gradens, along with former Power and Glenelg small forward Cameron Hitchcock...

by Big Phil Thu Nov 20, 2014 9:42 pm

Sturt have recruited Jarrod Irving from Frankston in the VFL...

A key defender that is supposedly a tackling machine but had a lot of shoulder issues...

by Big Phil Fri Nov 21, 2014 7:10 am

Jackson O'Brien has returned to Central after a couple of years playing with Angaston in the Barossa...

Was a midfielder recruited over from Tasmania who ended up having a few off-field issues but has got himself sorted out now, by the sounds of it...
