As we learned in 2005/06, to our chagrin, the SANFL includes night matches (Escort Cup) in their games totals. The AFL excludes these from their counts (as they do their own pre-season games).Jim has SANFL life membership- so doesn’t that mean he must have played 200 SANFL games? I know I should let this go ha ha

GotchaAs we learned in 2005/06, to our chagrin, the SANFL includes night matches (Escort Cup) in their games totals. The AFL excludes these from their counts (as they do their own pre-season games).
If he played 200+ including night games, but less than 200 excluding them, then he's eligible for SANFL Life Membership - but ineligible under the AFL's Father/Son rules. It appears that the Michelanny falls into this category.
He played his 200th senior game in 1985 and announced his retirement at the end of the 1986 season, after playing in the Norwood Reserves Grand Final victory over Woodville. With a total of 211. The question is whether pre season is included in the 200 senior gamesGotcha
Agree with your take on Hurn. Been a great player and still has some value to contribute somewhere.If there was ever a player to throw a Luke Hodge deal at, I would happily throw it at Bunga Hurn this offseason.
After last week its hard to believe he's almost 34 and at 298 games, he still moves around like the exact same player he's always been. 10/10 for leadership, hard body, almost never beaten in a contest, elite ball reading and intercepting, and firing 60m lasers straight onto his teammates chest.
If WC doesn't offer him another contract i'd take that talent, on field coaching and leadership down back for a season or 2 in a heartbeat. Especially if Talia moves on.
I wont to say it with 100% certainty, but i'm 99.99999999999% certain Hurn would retire before going to the Goldy. He's a Barossa boy and would be moving home to come here, which is literally the only reason I think he would even entertain playing anywhere other then WC.Agree with your take on Hurn.

But not here.
Most of us agree that we have our own senior players that we should continue to retire or trade from our list. But to delist Lynch for example and then recruit Hurn is hurtful to the playing group and the fans alike.
Hurn would be brilliant at the Suns though.
Did you watch Sundays game?Hurn is cooked imo.

And considering we are now the youngest list, and our defense is our youngest position group, getting an ex premiership captain who'se still playing at a high level would be a great short term get for me.
But that's just my opinion
Like Zach Merrett?Port heavily into Brayden Maynard. They are a club who set their targets and go hard after them. We do not.
And that's exactly what Hurn could bring in spades. As long as he doesn't drop off a cliff as a player (which i'm just not seeing) then i'd be all for it.We saw how quickly it worked with Brisbane and Luke Hodge.
Luke Hodge at Brisbane was not the same quality of player at Brisbane that he was at Hawks, in terms of his stats/output, but the wealth of knowledge he would have brought in regards to preparation, voice, execution a game plan, leadership, formations etc etc, would have been invaluable.
Pass, we're rebuilding he offers no more on or off field now that Tom Lynch doesn't already and at a guess I'd say more than half want Lynch gone.And that's exactly what Hurn could bring in spades.

Would take a huge load of Doedee, especially if he becomes captain next season, which I think is on the cards
Hurn may not offer a lot more than Lynch on field now, but I bet you he does off the field. Would Hurn ever not have himself ready to play if he was sub like Lynch did earlier this year?Pass, we're rebuilding he offers no more on or off field now that Tom Lynch doesn't already and at a guess I'd say more than half want Lynch gone.
I suggest you listen to some of the younger players and coaches who have been more than glowing of Tom's off field work with his teammates numerous times because you are not only wrong you are 100% wrong on that score.Hurn may not offer a lot more than Lynch on field now, but I bet you he does off the field.

Sorry to disappoint ....."Contract negotiations with Adelaide" .....it's JakeJosh Kelly?
Whilst I don't doubt any of what you are saying is true, if you honestly believe that Tom Lynch would have a greater effect on the players off the field than Shannon Hurn, I would suggest that you are greatly underestimating Hurn's ability as a player and leader. That is no insult to Tom Lynch's general ability in that regard. There would be very few better leaders in the game than Shannon Hurn.I suggest you listen to some of the younger players and coaches who have been more than glowing of Tom's off field work with his teammates numerous times because you are not only wrong you are 100% wrong on that score.
If we managed to pull that off I may almost take back a lot of what I said about the club in the last few years. Realistically it never going to happen, but costs nothing to dream.Josh Kelly?
That would be my fear too, and its a totally valid fear (although the way he played and moved around on the weekend did slightly alleviate that for me).Whilst I don't doubt any of what you are saying is true, if you honestly believe that Tom Lynch would have a greater effect on the players off the field than Shannon Hurn, I would suggest that you are greatly underestimating Hurn's ability as a player and leader.

The only reason I would agree with not getting Shannon Hurn to the club is that we left it one year too late. We should have done it last year.
Could we piss Wright off and bring in Hurn as our SANFL player/onfield leader/captain/coach type?..Agree with your take on Hurn. Been a great player and still has some value to contribute somewhere.

I think you'd struggle to get him off his farm once he hangs up the boots at AFL level. Country kidCould we piss Wright off and bring in Hurn as our SANFL player/onfield leader/captain/coach type?..
