Sturt defender Zac Becker will take up training with North Melbourne from Monday as he bids for an SSP list spot.

22-year old came second in Sturt’s B&F in last year’s premiership winning season.

191cm who can play on talls and smalls and has a booming boot.



Another blow for the league

Totally missing the point. Nobody suggested he shouldnt try out.

As mentioned 100 times in this thread its the timing of the try out as Sturt have no chance to replace the player.

Please Try and keep up!!!

100% - with the Eagles getting raided and now Sturt I think it's about time that the SANFL grow a pair and approach the AFL. At the very least they could hopefully get the AFL to agree to better compensation for the clubs but also seek to implement their own policies which might in some way assist the club. Sturt are lucky that they can probably absorb Becker's loss (if he goes) but a team with a poorer list get smashed with the season start not too far away.

Whilst i understand your point, you are ok that Central announce 6 new players over this week? Not much difference as their clubs will find it hard to find recruitss also.

It’s how it is.

AFL clubs now have until March 2 to sign SSP players ( just been extended from 20th Feb).

Because 6 months isn't enough time to sort out their list and they need another two weeks.

Agreed. Its more the people that receive a good wage to run the comp that frustrates the fans IMHO!!!

They just roll over and have now resorted to making up possible threats to justify it.

ie afl clubs possible move to vfl or the change of recruiting rules for the draft in sa.

Yeah, it is, no different to the SANFL clubs sniffing around local teams during the season, trying to entice players out to cover injuries etc.

Harry won’t be going to Port.
Soldo probably wasn’t going to get a game barring Injuries so zero chance Harry goes to Port just to play SANFL
