Re: SANFL 2020 Season

Is there any reason, apart from working with cricket to make it happen, that footy from AFL down couldn't extend to the end of October?

You answered your own question, cricket.
SANFL could continue on by using Elizabeth, Norwood, Alberton, Footy Park and Richmond. Does Nourlunga have cricket?

That was never an SANFL thing, purely VFL. North, Torrens, Central, South, West and Woodville wore white shorts at home and Port, Sturt, Norwood and Glenelg wore dark shorts at home.
I never understood Westies having white shorts at home.
Whilst we are at it we should also revert to red behind posts. Much more sensible than the white behind posts. I am sure Malcolm Blight would agree. Those with long memories would remember him seemingly running into an open goal, mistaking a white behind post for a goal post and scoring a point.

Agreed, strange, particularly with the fact that flights are considered somewhat at a risk.

Many clubs have major issues with accessing ovals in March for trials because of cricket which is not just the oval being used for cricket games but also the pitch areas that need to transition from cricket use to football use.
I just can't see any football competition below the AFL being able to extend their season beyond the week before the October long weekend. If the AFL grand final is put back this will at least give local leagues another week to play with for playing their grand finals.

Simply do as I say, not as I do.....otherwise no funding for you!

@robranisgod, did North ever wear black shorts for a season in the late 70’s/early 80’s?

I am surprised they did not forfeit the match.
That is SANFL footy these days!

I remember when Port Adelaide turned up in white shorts (despite being ordered to play in black shorts) for an SANFL final against the white-shorted CDFC. No action was taken.

Home and away shorts have changed over the years.
On that final Bulldog , did Centrals wear white shorts then ? If so , unlike Port to not play by the rules.
