I'd like to see Brogan, Ackland, Morgan and Thurstans get more of a go. If they keep playing them predominantly in the SANFL, one day they'll be asking themselves if they have wasted their opportunities in a side that is rich with tall players. Eventually they will get sick of waiting around. It's not like Lade and Primus only have a few years left in them. They could easily both still be playing in four or five years time. I know I wouldn't want to wait in the wings that long.

You'd think they could reserve an area with the away team's cheer squad for visitors. Have you had trouble with other club supporters?
