Sturt won because.....
Mattner has brought a very high pressure- afl pressure game- to Sturt from his time in Sydneyand the playing group have well and truly bought into it.. Sturt are very hard to score against and strangle the crap out of you ,and rarely allow you to spread from the stoppages and get quality entries to your forwards.Their tackling is brutal bordering on manic at times.
The big 4 as I call them...Riley.Osborn,McMahon and Martin...all on big pay checks played very well...along with Kirkwood of course.

WWT lost because.....
basically they couldnt kick enough goals. Their forwards apart from Wundke were well held.Boyd played his usual stat gathering game, accumulating at will, got plenty of it..in most cases handballs recieved, but did not hurt the opposition very often.
Time for a massive cleanout ; can get it done during the minor round but have too many non contributors when it counts .

One bad game and massive clean-out required. If that's the case SA had 2 bad games so bigger clean-out required again.

Correct!!
pretty sure some of our non contributors who played in our 2 finals appearances who will never play for South again. however ""the Combine " have some very highly paid players who didnt give a yelp in this years GF or last years.

I think there'll be a natural attrition at the Eagles, like most clubs. Luke Jarrad has retired, after a stellar career and it's likely one or two will follow suit, IMO.

I tipped 30,000 and was certainly very heavily in Sturts favour . Must have been at least 22000 Sturt , 5000 max Eagles and neutrals.

So, who do you support, waddayamean?

Seriously?

Even the day after they win a premiership you still have to get stuck into a club?

Are you really insinuating that 90% of the Sturt fans there were bandwaggoners who only turn up to Grand Finals ?
(22K as you estimated) as opposed to home games at Unley (average about 2200).
That really isn't fair ..... not today.

You are obsessed with my comments Phil. I said that recently and you still do it. Hey out of interest , do you get this defensive on the other site re the lack of supporters you have ? Come on mate , don't try and twist things . The Eagles support yesterday was minimal. Good onya Phil . lol

by PhilH Mon Sep 26, 2016 9:42 pm

Hey have a crack at me all you like, we lost .... but you really should apologise to the Sturt supporters, don't detract from their big win.

Now I've got three to choose from ....

Embarrassing now Phil. Let it go mate . You know you are wrong . Not obsessed at all , with my quotes as a tags. Not the whole quotes though.

by waddayamean Mon Sep 26, 2016 10:45 pm

Ainger and Jarrod gone and you would expect a few others to go. Lewis would be close and although he kicked 5 Wundke is not in condition to be playing SANFL footy . Not sure how he is allowed to get away with that as he gets more overweight every year since he has been at the Eagles.

good crowd for the final game of the 2016 season , first half both teams trying to get on top in a hard contest, sturt broke the game open in the third and went on to win the gf,great effort from sturt after finishing 8th in 2015 to first in 2016 , great effort considering the club was on their knees a couple of years ago very nearly closing

" All I had to do was come up with a game plan we felt that was the best game plan to win a premiership
We thought it would take a bit longer , its happened so quickly ..."

By
Marty Mattner
Interviewed just after Sturt won its 14th SANFL premiership

The latest more defence structured version game plan worked for Sturt
As did a similar version for Norwood in its recent 3 peat premiership successes
In between West Adelaide won a flag with with a more offensive game plan

So what does every coach aspire in the SANFL in the short term ?
Should some teams re model game plans ?

From what I saw in 2016
The 3 teams that attempted to play that solid defensive style finished:
1ST Sturt
2ND Woodvile West Torrens
8TH Norwood

So who is waddayamean and who does he follow?

waddayamean might be an alias and

1. his club may be PA and he has nothing to do in September again
2. It could be an alias for Rucci trying to drum up a story as he is no good as a reporter
3. It could fireman Cornes starting a fire but not having the ability to put it out
4. It could be John Olsen trying to destroy the SANFL on social media
5. needs to work out 22.000 + 5000 does not add up to 30000

It used to be a very pleasant driving experience during the 2000's Very Happy

by waddayamean Tue Sep 27, 2016 5:43 pm

PhilH, explain how my post was negative and then how it was to Sturt ?

You just twist things mate . Maybe all posters can read my post and tell me what I said was negative .

where is it again..?, Ive never seen it.. Crying or Very sad

by waddayamean Tue Sep 27, 2016 9:11 pm

3 players left South chasing something . Any thoughts on there move or if they stayed at South would have they got a premiership ?
Was it a worthy investment by the Eagles ? You also have to now consider the Eagles immediate future. IF they slide for a few years , can they cope with that ? Time will tell.

by bayman Tue Sep 27, 2016 10:29 pm

Given the depth at the eagles (reserves in last 4 grand finals) I can't see them sliding in the near future, the only negative in this regard is that (& we got some of it) they lost a very fruitful recruitment zone

by southern bulldog Tue Sep 27, 2016 11:12 pm

If you are referring to Wundke,Ainger & Boyd then it is partly incorrect because Boyd already has a premiership with Centrals.
