Was that considered at the time? Would a Modbury team have been more successful than Woodville?
I remember growing up in Holden Hill and playing for Torrens in the mini league which seemed strange to represent a team on the other side of town.

It would be interesting to see how the boundary zones changed before and after 1964, and which clubs lost the most territory. Had there not been a Central District, North would have become a massive powerhouse, surely?

Given many of the young people back then were young Baby Boomers, I'd reckon that's unlikely an issue.

Yes it was to de-value or try to de-value the mighty magpie.
Some said it was other teams passing the cemetery, visiting alberton.
Woodville SANFL was to even up the competition..
Such was the power of "FOS"
Maybe he should have a statue at "Adelaide Oval".
Or a bridge named after him.
