Redbacks 2018/19

Anyone got a feel for which of west Torrens, Woodville or Port Adelaide will be cut as of next season?

Weren't Prospect and Uni going to merge? I think Woodville should remain independent so perhaps merge Port and West Torrens.

Is it down to those three? I thought Adelaide, Prospect or Uni might be in trouble.

Have heard today is down to those three

 

[Smartys Power]

Yeah SACA thinks there is too many clubs in the western suburbs.

Sorry, just to be clear, which three?

There's a hell of a lot of cash on the table for the clubs that decide to merge.

West Torrens, Port Adelaide and Woodville. I know that Wt do not want to merge, and I doubt the others will either. SACA will have to get rid of one.

We (uni) received written confirmation from the SACA this week stating that we are safe from any merger or fold. Makes sense too given on field we're reasonable now and off field we're more secure than most. SACA have 100 problems and we're not one, so merging us doesn't relieve them of a problem. I suspect most of the financially secure and/or geographically important clubs received a similar letter or will soon. Will be interesting to see what happens with junior zones - could they be on the way out?

I suspect that's where the merger will come from; what solves more problems for SACA. All those three have logical reasons to keep and merge

WT: history/age/relative strength all good but finances/club rooms iffy
PA: success been ok and probably slightly better geographically than the other two but... They're port adelaide.
Woodville: good fields especially with the new st Clair oval for the 3s and 4s as well as ok success but location could kill them.

I think the logical merge financially speaking is WT/PA. But geographically that makes no sense really. Feel like Woodville will be forced into it on that basis alone - with whichever one of the other two jumps first for $$$$. If neither do, I think it'll be Woodville and Port.

Umpherston super stiff to miss out on the 20 man 19s World Cup squad!

Can I see the squad listed anywhere?

 

[eth-dog]

Ferguson out for the season, ruptured ACL.

 

[Pugsley]

Would be hard pressed to go with anything other than Mennie-Sayers-Worrall-Zampa as our attack after the last two games.

Think we'd want to play one more batter. Head is a bit loose to bat that high in four day cricket I reckon

Loving that last paragraph [emoji106]

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Ferguson out for the season, ruptured ACL.

Really?

Did that happen at training today?

Devastating news

 

[Smartys Power]

Terrible news.

 

[Smoooothy]

Gotta wonder if that could be it for Ferg. Might have completely blown a chance for any sort of international callup. Really disappointing

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Ferguson out for the season, ruptured ACL.

Bad news

 

[ROOTA#6]

I really feel for Ferguson. He was forging a good career in the ODI team when he did the first one and this time seemed to be making a case fr selection again

 

[Aussie_boy]

Terrible timing for Ferg, could be 33 by the time he gets back to full fitness.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Even when the Redbacks are going good we have this uncanny knack of absolutely thudding back to earth

We're cursed

 

[Pugsley]

Putland now injured. FFS [emoji35][emoji35]

 

[The_Reaper]

Putland now injured. FFS [emoji35][emoji35]

When isn't he?

 

[eth-dog]

When isn't he?

Can't believe he hasn't retired yet.

 

[Greasyrhys]

Feel for Fergie after coming off a good season last year & a blistering start this season. Hopefully he'll come back bigger & better in late 2016.

Really hope this doesn't ruin the Redbacks' Shield momentum, makes me hate the BBBL even more!!!

All club cricket canned tomorrow. Worlds gone soft; these are the days that make cricket so good.

I'm willing to bet you're not a fast bowler.

I sort of agree with you but **** it, I'm happy to not be out there.

Haha correct. No doubt it's tough but days like this you don't forget. Bond with teammates over a shared grind. I love(d) it.
