These ones:
29 - South at Alberton (1940 to 1966)
20 - South at Alberton (1968 to 1990)
18 - Glenelg at Unley (1921 to 1938)
17 - South at Unley (1960 to 1975)
17 - Sturt at Albeton (1949 to 1965)

I would bet that Torrens never won at Prospect from 1966 until 1983 which is rather incredible when you consider how ordinary some of the North teams were between 1975 and 1983.

The more things change, the more they stay the same!

How is Central's overall record at Unley?

9 wins and 22 losses. 7 of those wins were consecutive between 1999 and 2006 - it took Sturt 8 goes from its' return to Unley to defeat them. That represented a 22 year gap between wins.

Yes, I borrowed those from another thread, and have added a few more I missed in copying and pasting. Interestingly Torrens' three wins in 1981 consisted of two against North and one against Central (plus one draw against West). The other meeting was at Prospect. And there was no meeting at Prospect in 1979.

Definitely La Nina at Elizabeth and not El Niño ... no droughts in sight.
