glenelg's 1985 premiership team?

[FlyingHigh]

Some want to "downgrade" Centrals premierships, saying they are not worth what they used to. Considering over the next few years before the Crows, 9 of those Glenelg players found their way to the VFL, should we view Port's 3-in-a-row as being a lesser achievement too?

I reckon that Glenelg side would pound any Centrals premiership winning combo.

I agree REB, but that wasn't my point. How would have those Port teams that won 3-in-a-row fared if the Bays hadn't lost so many players to the VFL - 9 out of this team, and I believe nearly a full side over the course of 85-89. You could say Port's achievment was "compromised" by the VFL/AFL influence, just as people want to say Central's have been.

Not too many scrubbers in that lot (and that's from a North supporter).
