Easy explanation why but James deserves just as much fanfare

[spell_check]

What bugs me is that Brett James has not got nowhere near the hype or fanfare as Gavin Wanganeen.

They both played in two AFL premierships and one SANFL premiership.

Both have played over 300 games in the SANFL and AFL combined.

Both have captained sides that they were in.

Both have played state footy.

But of course for two possibly three reasons, Wanganeen gets two page spreads, a lavish testimonial dinner and now a portrait of him in todays newspaper.

Perhaps this thread can pay more of a tribute/recognition to another fine player in Collingwood/Crows and Norwood star Brett James.

Uv got to be joking spell check.

Nope.

I dont think it is even a matter of opinion.

One is a great of the game at the top level.

The other is a fine player who has played quite a bit at the top level and aquitted himself well and played a hell of a lot at the second level and been a very very good player there.

There is just no comparison

A bit harsh on 'ol Gav there dasher, not his fault he played AFL instead of SANFL

He could have stayed at the top level if he wanted to....

Brett James = Scott West with smaller pay packet

If James is in the same category as Wangas, why has he been at Norwood for the last few years? If he was as good, he'd be a walk up start in any AFL team.

Clubs wouldn't take him because he is too old.
