Glad Irra made the squad as he's been super impressive in the 3 games i've seen South play this year & has added defence to his game

Looks a pretty strong squad to me, I believe other players can be added if their form warrants selection.

Which ones interest you, Phil?

Interesting I assume means he doesn't agree.

Where is the game being played and how much to get in ?

I would like to see it rotated between SANFL clubs and free for members of the clubs.

Adelaide Oval. Normal prices but you can in on your clubs tickets

The following are all allowed free entry
- SANFL ticketed members
- Adelaide Oval members
- Crows Essential members
- Power essential members

So basically everyone who has a football membership gets in free. Can't see them selling many other tickets as presumably most people who may be interested in going would be members of one of the clubs already.

Still it may boost attendance for those who want a SANFL footy fix.

I haven't seen them play this year but on paper I'd have thought Rioli and McGregor were surprising inclusions. McGregor's only played 2 games.

True, but McGregor had a cracker of a game on Friday night. I'm surprised Snook was an omission, I rate him higher then Rioli.

Who is better that could come into the squad to replace McGregor? if you believe he shouldn't be in the squad then there needs to be a small forward that is better then McGregor at the moment I am not sure there is?

Maybe there isn't but I thought his selection after 2 games was premature, considering they can always add players to the squad if form warrants.

A few anti-state game posts on various forums have unfortunately got under my skin.
I think I've made my views on the idiocy of the SANFL over fixture programming and byes quite clear.
However, to me, the state game will always remain sacrosanct.

Don't anyone dare knock state or state of origin football. The game is called Australian Rules Football.
A.F.L. is simply the bastardised name given to an organisation with no right to exist in its current form.
Too many younger fans didn't grow up watching this nation's best at glorious interstate war.
It was sublime sporting magic at the pinnacle of human endeavor and should always be venerated.

It's only the stupidity, greed and megalomania of the pretend AFL that has denigrated the worth of
Australian Rules Football in every state of our great land. Don't blame state football, blame Victorians,
the pathetic expanded VFL and all those who support any un-AFL team for the current destruction.
May all those who have caused this decrepit outrage burn in hell for your cowardice and betrayal !!!!!!!
Lest we forget.

Luv,
Sabre.
