Mother’s Day round footage from a few years ago.

Seriously though, it would be totally understandable if he was a bit disillusioned with the game. Went from leadership group to delisted in 12 months. Throughout the last few years he'd have constantly been getting told that it's not just about getting the ball, it's his, pressure, shape keeping, running patterns and leadership that is invaluable. And then even though he continued to provide all of that at the highest levels, he ended up totally off the list. We built him up as important based on what supporters don't see and then pulled the rug out from under him. That quick grab we saw of him being interviewed as he left his exit meeting suggested he wasn't really expecting the outcome that eventuated.

Tyson Sharp is back training with the Dogs. Said he wants to go to Essendon to try to negate any chance of being picked up by WCE.

RIP Roger Rigney.

We wish to advise that the following contains details about a person who has passed away, which may be distressing to some First Nations people.

Vale, Roger Rigney.

Sturt Football Club mourn the passing of one of its most esteemed players, Roger Rigney. With deep respect and heartfelt gratitude, we honour the man whose on-field brilliance and off-field character made an indelible mark on the club, the community, and South Australian football.

Career Highlights & Legacy

Roger Rigney played a key role in Sturt’s golden era under coach Jack Oatey, being a part of every premiership from 1966 to 1970 inclusive.

The Club’s official Hall of Fame recognises Rigney as a premier roving talent whose performances contributed significantly to Sturt’s dominance during that period.

His name has featured prominently in SANFL Indigenous recognition, with the league acknowledging his “wonderful roving contributed to the club’s golden era of the late 1960s.”

In more recent years, the club paid tribute to Rigney’s significance by incorporating his old playing number, No 4, into the right shoulder of the guernsey for the SANFL First Nations Round, recognising him as an Elder and role-model.

Personal & Community Impact

Beyond the statistics and premierships, Roger was more than a footballer:

• He carried himself with humility and dignity, earning respect from teammates, opponents and supporters alike.
• His presence as one of the Indigenous stars of the SANFL brought inspiration and representation to community members, young and old.
• Even after his playing days, his legacy lived on; the club and community recognised him for wisdom and leadership across generations.”

Roger Rigney and the late Roger Dunn were a great duo for Sturt in their golden years when rovers were rovers.
Mick Nunan was killing it in the 2nd's but couldn't get a game in the league team because of them.

Thought I read he was wanting to spend more time with the family?
Isn’t sanfl coach a bigger role than the women’s head coach?

No interstate travel though. Home with the family every night of the week.

Westies were after him hard, but I think even with Bassett it's gonna take a few years to get anyone interested going there. Plus you can probably already pencil in a Sturt vs Norwood GF in 2026, so that'd be a lure too.

So definitely pushed out of AFC.

 

[George CantStandYa]

At least Doc is too honest to allow brown paper bag reign to continue

 

[Mutineer]

So definitely pushed out of AFC.

Don't think so, stepped away from the AFC men's program last year while his wife recovered from breast cancer (double mastectomy) so given the women's program involved less travelling and a shorter season makes sense. Coaching Glenelg means no travel in a less demanding scenario

I'd think a lot of it is down to re-evaluating his family life and spending more time with his wife and 3 children more so. The experience of his wife's recent illness would make a lot of husband's reassess what's really important in their life.
