Can the double blues’ bounce back after a disappointing finals campaign?

Out T. Lewis to Port

Seriously? Who thought this was a good idea? This will drive passionate SANFL people away from the competition.

Yep seeing that comment a lot Flag 10 all due to allegedly Koch complaining and getting fined by the SANFL then bending over backwards

Koch should have been fined and forced to apologise.

Instead the SANFL bent over for him.

The AFL have a hold on the SANF, but the SANFL don't even try to stand up for our competition.

Koch did get fined, $5,000.00 that’s like me being find 5 cents, i never found it on the SANFL website but heard Darren Chandler on the radio say it

Port won’t win a flag while he’s there, he was good for them for a few years but in the last 5 or 6 years he is a liability to them, he subliminally tells his own team that they aren’t developed

Ditto to that.

I am a bit critical that Sturt's management who have been very supportive of the AFL in recent years. They have been vocal in keenly wanting to work with them irrespective of the disparity in how the sanfl teams operate compared to Port / Crows.

I wonder how they feel now? Radio silence on the web site about the Lewis departure.

And after bending over like this and stuffing up the sanfl's integrity, as soon as an AFL opportunity arises, Koch will bugger off to that anyway. And leave what behind?

I reckon the sanfl commissioners need to be made to understand that the sanfl is not Port's playtoy.

And for some reason the state of SA appointed Koch to the SA tourism board he lives in Sydney I believe .
