There was only 8146 for the Adelaide v Norwood and Sturt vs Glenelg games And the following week there were 8036 for the Adelaide v North and Norwood v Glenelg games. I haven't seen the crowd as yet for the preliminary final. The Grand Final should draw well. North vs Norwood in 2018 drew over...

With respect to crowds it was ludicrous to program the North Adelaide vs Glenelg game at 1:10 p.m. on Sunday, just at the time most families were enjoying a Mother's Day lunch. If North or the SANFL wanted a Sunday match to coincide with the date of the first ever match at Prospect, surely they...

Thanks for that. I have been looking for that vision for ages. The News of the Monday said that Norwood had 19 men for about a minute. Where the confusion came in was that Neil Balme said on the radio during the week after the 2018 fiasco that Port scored 3 goals 1 behinds whilst Norwood had 19...

Please explain. They weren't dudded. North scored 2 points, not 8 whilst their were 19 men on the ground. Check the times when Allmond came off the ground and when Ramsay goaled. North put the cue in the rack when 23 points up in the last quarter and rested Tanner Smith and Max Thring who were...

Last week you mentioned that crowds had been very poor, but I note with a return to normality in scheduling 4 of the 5 games drew over 2,000 people. Also I have to query your statement that North have been barely holding their midtable position. After their disastrous 1 and 4 start they have won...

Glenelg may have bettered their start to the 1981 season but at this stage they are only level with their start to the 1969 season, where they won their first 11 games in a row, before succumbing to Torrens. Torrens then went onto win their last 10 minor round games but incredibly neither team...

I know Neil Balme said that Port scored 3-1 but a Port player I know who played in the game said Norwood scored 3-1 and sewed up the game. I can remember seeing the cutting at the time from the Adelaide News but I don't remember any mention of the score. I can't find a copy of the video of the...

Didn't see too many players on the ground in the 2018 Grand Final. Unlike Norwood in the 1982 Second Semi Final, North having 19 players on the ground whilst 2 behinds were scored had no affect on the overall result of the 2018 Preliminary Final. Never get the truth get in the way of a good...

I hope you don't mind me intruding but I remember Keith Baker playing for Port as a rover. He played in the 1972 Grand Final in that position. Port ran 3 rovers in that game, Cunningham, Grimwood and Baker and for a time early in the game had the much vaunted North defence at sixes and sevens...

Connor Rozee drafted by Port Adelaide Robbie Young drafted by St Kilda Boyd Woodcock drafted by Port Adelaide Wilkie Jordan Sweet rookied by the Western Bulldogs As I said before all 5 played in the winning Grand Final side so they all have experienced playing and succeeding in front of 40,000+...

As an avid North Adelaide supporter I saw all of Robbie Young's games this year and I concur with many of the statements about his pace and ability to run down players. I am surprised that someone queried his disposal. It generally was very good this year for North and he kicked a number of...

I am a passionate North Adelaide supporter and have seen all of Callum Wilkie's SANFL senior games. He won the North Adelaide best and fairest award in this year's premiership team. He is a very good intercept mark and an excellent left foot kick. I am not saying he is anywhere near as good but...

And of course the Crystal Brook Roosters provided a North Adelaide Premiership player in both the league and reserves in Jake Wohling and Brayden Kirk. Wohling joins the late Ron Hewett and the late Maurie Arbon as NAFC league premiership players from the Brook.

Not correct. North, despite a dreadful on field season last year made a $300,000 profit.

Barrie Robran daylight Russell Ebert Malcolm Blight daylight Lindsay Head Stephen Kernahan John Cahill Len Fitzgerald Paul Bagshaw Don Lindner Peter Marker These things are subjective but with due respect to Neil Kerley, he wouldn't be in the top 30 players purely as a footballer. As an...

I have just found this thread. I don't think that your comment about Carman beating Robran in his third game is correct. North beat Norwood by something like 77 points at Prospect in Carman's first game. Given the margin it is highly unlikely that Carman beat Robran in that game.

In 1979 South were 3 wins and 1 loss but Torrens were 3 wins and 1 draw as at round 4, in 1980 South were 2-2, in 1981 South were 3-1 but Glenelg were unbeaten, in 1982 they were 2-2, in 1983 they were 2-2 and in 1984 they were 3-1 but Port were 4-0 and by 1985 they were on the slide again and...

I have checked and they weren't on top after round 4 1992 either. They won their first 3 games that year, but then lost to perennial wooden spooner of that era, Sturt in round 4. Port went ahead of them on percentage. It may have been as long ago as 1965 that South were last on top at the end...

It certainly wouldn't have been 1991. After four round in that year South were 1 win and 3 losses. They did win a number of games in a row before going out in straight sets in the finals. They may have been on top after 4 rounds in 1992. They won there first three games that year.

You obviously never saw them both play. Robran could do everything Ebert could do plus he was three inches taller which meant that he was a much better high mark. You can't judge them just from video. Unfortunately most of the video of Robran was destroyed, the only stuff that you can see...

The behind posts have been red in SA for 100 years. I always thought that it was logical and that the VFL had it wrong. I know Prospect Oval still has red behind posts, I don't know which of the other SANFL Ovals still have them.

Grocke scored 4 goals for the Eagles, it was Treeby who scored 6 goals for them.

I will really show my age and say the 1971 Second Semi final. At the 18 minute mark of the last quarter Port led by 21 points. When Gary Sporn goaled to make the difference 15 points all it meant was that North were going to have an honourable loss. North went on to kick another 6 goals 1 behind...

Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story. Adelaide has never had the most murders per capita of any major city in Australia and most likely never will. Darwin and Perth in particular always have had much higher murder percentages per capita and Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane normally...

You are half correct, purely as a footballer Ian Day wouldn't have made the SANFL Hall of Fame (although he was a good footballer and one of the best kicks I have ever seen for alittle man). It was his services to football as a commentator that would have made him a Hall of Famer. He was the...

Handby, Andy Lee and Backwell all were spotted at North's first training run on Monday night. Former North players Luke Mcentee, Zac Millar and Ricky Ebert were also there. Michael Wundke and Toby Stribling were notable absentees. I was told a couple of players from other clubs were also...

I would be very, very surprised if that is correct. The first night game played was played, I think between Melbourne and Carlton in 1879. I would have thought that Norwood only has had lights since the 1950s.

If that is the case then Sturt definitely had it first. You are correct that Norwood were known as the demons in the Killigrew era from 1959 until 1962. They also wore the Melbourne yoked "V". I have a copy of the audio of the last quarter of the 1960 Grand Final called by Tom Warhurst and...

It is an actual song about the American flag. It was written by George M Cohan, who also wrote Yankee Doodle Dandy, the tune to West Adelaide, Hawthorn and Central Districts song. The movie, Yankee Doodle Dandy featured the song it's a Grand Old Flag. Sturt adopted the song in the early 1950s...

North a weakish type club - 3rd most premierships, 2nd most Magarey medals, 2nd least wooden spoons. What does that make most of the rest of the SANFL clubs then!!!!
