[quote="GWW"]..never to have played LEAGUE footy in the SANFL?
** I can think of a couple of contenders:
1) Peter Kitschke
* 510 games (221 consecutive games) for Jamestown 1948 - 1974
* (Credited with a total of 577 games including representative matches)
* Captain of Jamestown for 7 years
* Retired in 1974 – Aged 43
* Numerous representative matches for Northern Areas Association team
* Member of Premiership teams for Jamestown on 4 occasions 1958, 1959, 1961 and 1968
* Thirteen (13) time Best and Fairest for Jamestown
* Seven time Mail medal winner 1957, 1962, 1963, 1966, 1969, 1971, 1974
* Five time runner up for the Mail medal 1952, 1958, 1961, 1964, 1965
* Twice placed third for the Mail medal - 1960, 1970
Anyone that can finish in the top three for a mail medal 14 times in a career, winning 50%, the last at the age of 43 and over 500 games has to be right up there. IMO.
Between me and my brother we know everything.
