Norwoods' players on the list

[LEGS 11]

I think this has come up recently. Reckon it's Frederick Bennett, who came over after playing for N.A.

[LEGS 11]

Robbie DeJong -- 2006

[spell_check]

No relation to Dirk?

[LEGS 11]

Haven't heard that he is. He's the guy that John Wynne spotted from East Perth. Probably a late developer, as a lot of big men are, as he only played 4 league matches in W.A, after playing his first game in 2001/2. Must have had a great debut for Norwood, however.

[spell_check]

He wouldn't be a relation to Dirk DeJong, as it is Robbie DeJongh (with h on the end), unless he changed his name.

[Adelaide Hawk]

We have Alan McCard listed but 'Men Of Norwood" has the name A.R.McCord listed. Do we know which one is correct?

DENNIS McAVANEY (also S.A)
ALAN McCARD
RONALD McDOUGALL
DUNCAN McFARLANE
CHARLES McGAVISK (also W.T)

LAWRENCE McNAMARA (1913)
GEORGE McNEILAGE

This is what Legs posted, so you might want to ask him.

[LEGS 11]

Hawk, it's ALAN R McCARD

[LEGS 11]

Matthew Thomas -- 2006

[Adelaide Hawk]

Legs11, I've found another player who isn't mentioned on this list, not was he listed in 'Men At Norwood". His surname is Juniper, and I think his first name starts with a J. He played 4 games for the Redlegs in 1909. What source are you using to find all these first names?

[LEGS 11]

A host of sources, Hawk --papers, budgets, annuals, publications,
It's William Juniper.

[Adelaide Hawk]

It's certainly not the Advertiser or the Register. I was looking at those today between the years 1907 and 1930 and there's not a first name to be seen

[Ebert, Evans & Me]

The LL Hill that is mentioned is Lionel Laughton Hill, Premier of South Australia from 1926-27 and 1930-33. I would say that this makes him the only SANFL footballer to serve as Premier of South Australia. Here's a link to his wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lionel_Hill

He must have been a decent footballer as he represented South Australia.

That should be every Norwood player pre and post 1907.

U guys are good ... Just went to check if my grandfathers name was there, which I didn't expect as he obnly played a handful of games, andyep sure enough it was ... I bow down to thee ...

Round 1 Norwood Debutants

Kieran McGuinness
Hugh Minson
Paul Puopolo
Kenrick Tyrrell
Austin Wonaemirri

Here's a tough (maybe impossible) one: most Norwood debutants in any one match? (Leaving aside round 1, 1878, round 1, 1919 and round 1, 1945!)

A cuppla weeks ago you would have got very short odds on Iggy Vallejo playing and making it 6, too. (Still, you woulda got mighty long odds on two ruck debutants, so it's swings and roundabouts.)

I'd only could say from 2001 onwards. Not sure off hand, but it would only be in the opening round.
