Neitz getting in before some SANFL/WAFL only stars is a disgrace.

Good to see Malcolm Blight kick off the campaign for South Adelaide's Jimmy Deane today.

I don’t have a problem with Neitz getting in. Holds nearly every record at the oldest football club in Australia.

*bump*

Great to see Michael "Kingo" Taylor to get a well deserved entry into the Austrlian Football Hall of Fame.

Davies, Bagshaw, Taylor, Ebert, Cornes, Carey, Robran,

One of the absolute jets of the competition from when I first started watching SANFL footy.

Chuck in Hodgeman, Grimwood, Craig as well

Kingo, he was from the top shelf

Agree, one of the nice blokes in footy too, well deserved.

OK, I am going to say it, ready to be shot down for it, but……don’t think Nicky Winmar gets in the Hall of Fame if he was not indigenous player.

So many absolute champions not in there yet with much more illustrious careers.

Russell Ebert elevated to Hall of Fame Legend.

Absolutely well deserved honour.

One of my pet hates is this should have been done years ago when he was alive and could have enjoyed the celebration

Agree

Are you allowed to say that?

Legend indeed.

Poor take, he was a star.

Played plenty. A list of accolades a mile long.

PLEASE remember these blokes rarely had the opportunities many others had.

Maybe it's positive discrimination in part but for me I am very comfortable for him to be in it.
