SA Footy

We can't win a game and we wonder why.

I'm watching the Bulldogs and St Kilda and all I see is Eagleton to Tiller, across to Cooney, cut off by Sam Fisher......

It's the same every week.

I know, it's not relevant, but..........

its the same for the eagles & in earlier years for other teams

it is nice to see the young westies playing on tv

gee what a team we could have

The AFL will always be there taking the best juniors. SANFL clubs need to follow the lead of Centrals and build a sustainable club structure and playing group that achieves success in spite of the inevitable drafting of young talent.

Out of curiousity any idea of where those kids came from originally r&B?
I know Westies have had a gold mine from getting the Flagstaff/Aberfoyle Pk area.

Tiller was from Port Lincoln.

Sam Fisher is from the Riverland.

I think Tiller is from Eyre Peninsula.

I think Eagleton and Cooney are both from the southern suburbs as you say.

There are some other good ones from there, too. Beau Waters is one.

Didn't Cooney come from the NT ?
I know how you feel guys so many Eagle players in the afl.

Thats the first i'd heard Cooney was from the NT.

Cooney didn't come from the NT think he was from Flagstaff Hill

Cooney's definitely a Flaggy boy.

Bloody West Adelaide, that flagstaff hill/Happy valley area is mortgage belt gold...plenty of kids aged 10 to 17..Wedgies kids are gonna end up at the bloods!! Meanwhile Glenelg gets a metropolitan area filled with DINKS and the elderly...boo!!

after winning premierships, its the next most important thing imo producing players for the awful. Its very relevant!

Yep Cooney is a Flaggy Boy along with Eagleton and while Waters was from the riverland he boarded in Aberfoyle Park

YOur right about it being a gold mine of young talent down here....went for a walk around Happy Valley oval the other night and it was junior training night and there would have been 80-90 kids training on the oval

I just need to find a Westies fan who lives in Glenelg's area so I can register my sons at their address!

We're actually in the Panthers area.
Mind you a couple of decent torpedo's to our North East and we'd be in blood's territory and a couple of decent torpedo's to our North West and we'd be in the Bays territory.
Ive already got the clearance fee to North put aside though.

Pesonally I think everything south of Darlington should be South's area.

Yep Flaggy looks very pretty amongst our portfolio of factories.........

.......it happens to most clubs. good clubs replace those they lose. some clubs dont, and make poor choices, unfortunately, west are not the former.

Wayne Carey and Darren Jarman would have been handy at North in the mid 90s!

interesting topic..
my father was brought up in wayville-then souths area. Now sturt
I was brought up in st marys- then souths area. Now west
my brother lives in flagstaff hill-westies area.
my niece lives in moana- now souths area.
can you see a pattern emerging... there will probably be a day in the not too distant future when South home ground is at Parndana.

Easy to see why many at the safc feel it has been done over by the sanfl for the last 100 yrs.
