Ryan Griffin to Port Elliott/Goolwa in the Greater Southern Footy League (back where it all began)

Who's he? The name sounds vaguely familiar.

Plenty of fishing and farming and surfing if he's into that.

good on him, awesome get for his old club, and that league. His brother plays there as well. Its about an Hour South of Adelaide (about 30 minutes or so from McLaren Vale)

Thanks for the heads up TnT I grew up in Mt Compass and played for the mighty bulldogs in the great southern.

I get up that way a fair bit (the in laws have a place in Victor Harbor). I will definitely try to catch a game and would love to shake his hand.

So it's a bit like the Melton or Werribee of South Australia? Although Melbourne and Melton and Werribee are getting closer all the time because they seem to build 1000 houses a day in between the three of them.

Yeah I was just kidding. I am familiar with the area, my with is from Reynella. She has relatives involved in the Strathalbyn footy club.

Poor old Cryan Gryffindor is going to have his work cut out - his new team didn't win a game this season.

I get confused how players retire through injury which has apparently got too bad, then go and play in local leagues .

The training and playing demands of the AFL as compared to a local league are worlds apart.

Depends on the injury of course but if his back is the issue then I would imagine dramatically decreasing the kms he has to cover in training and games would make things much easier.

No, more like Adelaide's retirement village. Beautiful part of Australia. Goolwa is the mouth of the Murray River.

With redpath it’s his knees so I imagine that would be a problem no matter what grade I Would have thought.

The physical demands would be less and you know yourself when you get older and start to fall back through the grades the first few games at a lower level you play well because a/ you really don't want to be shown up by players who aren't at your level and b/ you have learned how to duck and dive and take shortcuts while still being an effective player.


Ryan will be fine and props to him for going back to his roots. I hope it works out for him and he enjoys his footy from now on because he looks like he has done anything but that these last few years.

Re: Following our ex's...................

Redpath has signed with Deer Park. Short odds for 7 in a row I'd have thought.

Hopefully things don't get too tough or Riaan might start looking for the door.
