QUESTIONS
R PAYZE is he related to Andrew the Crows/Eagles player ?
IS J BILLS is he related to Freddy and Brenton Bills ?
G BLIGHT is he related to MALcolm Blight ?
P ELFENBEIN , I played with a couple of lads named D + J ELFENBEIN in cricket [both worked for Australia Post] its a longshot, anyone know if this guy is related to them ?

Rodney Payze is Andrew Payze's father. Rodney was Commissioner of Highways as well as being a football administrator.

I believe that George Blight is a cousin of Malcolm Blight. Another relative Horrie Blight had also played for Torrens, but Malcolm was an avid Port supporter.

The more I read about John Halbert the more I am impressed

Yes, be very impressed. Not only was he a fine footballer but he is a very educated man with a healthy sense of humour. I have spent time with him discussing football and cricket, and his knowledge and story telling ability makes him very enjoyable company. His Wally May stories are sensational. He's currently the President of the Sturt District Cricket Club and can be seen at all matches.

1960 BARRIE BARBARY MAGAREY MEDAL
Played about 70 games when he won
Debuted in 1957 and played for SA that season
First wingman to win the medal
3RD, 2ND + 1ST preferences first read out in 1960
Barbary waited in a car when the count was concluded,whilst his feMALe friend was doing a modelling course, she heard the result, and she ran out to tell Barbary he had won
Barbary also won the NA B/F in 1960

Barrie Barbary represented South Australia in more games for South Australia than any other North Adelaide player ever. When you consider the champs North have had I find that stat remarkable. He won the O'Halloran trophy as voted by the Victorian selectors as best player for SA in the famous win at the MCG in 1963. As I have said before Cahill, Barbary and Eustice as a trio were probably the greatest trio of wingmen ever to play in SA at the same time. Barbary was only beaten once in his Magarey Medal year. Ken Eustice beat him at Richmond but Barbary got his revenge at Prospect. My father and his friends used to salivate at the thought of watching Barbary stand Eustice on a wing. Unfortunately these man-on-man battles no longer occur. In fact how many true wingmen do we have these days?

[GWW]

I didn't realise Dr David was a footballer

Does anyone have a first name or initial for the Heitman listed, I'm curious as to whether its one of the Heitmans from Murray Bridge.

Barrie Barbary played 149 games for NA between 1957-1964
He then was the playing coach of Kybybolite for 2 seasons [and led them to a flag in his 2nd season]
It has been said that he returned to NA in 1967, but then decided to play for Woodville instead

QUESTIONS
Why would a champion footballer coach in a Country competition ?
And why did he go to Woodville[and play a total of 66 games there] in 1967 ?
I would imagine his leaving NA would have disappointed NA followers ?

I remember seeing Barrie playing in his Woodville days, but until this thread, had not realised what a star footballer he was

SA 16-13
WA 15-17
1961 Carnival game in Brisbane
SA was down by 21 points at 3/4 time
Bill Wedding [NW] and Don Lindner [NA] played big last quarters to help SA to a great win
There was an incident that has been said that changed the course of this match


BARBARY SAID :
Rogers was the Kerley of WA
This guy was big...he had to be 2 stone heavier than Ken
Hes tucked the ball under his arm and hes taken off and Eustice came at him
I think he might have thought ''Well I'll just go over the top of him."'
And he certainly didnt go straight over the top of him
Kenny turned the shoulder, took him straight down the middle, knocked him over onto the ground, nearly knocked him out, but the best part of it he hit him, he took the ball with him
So hes gone through this bloke, put him on the ground, taken the ball, kept running
Ill never forget that
Unbelievable , the bloke would have been bigger than Kerley and he was rough and tough and physical as well
Anyone who saw that would remember it as 1 of the best things you could see on a footy field
Barbary is a long time friend of Eustice

KERLEY SAID :
Ken left his man and attacked him..went straight at this big bloke
He was so quick that as Rogers went for his 3rd or 4th bounce, Ken virtually intercepted the ball as it was between the ground and coming back into his hands
And he just cut thru his legs virtually and took the ball clean and kicked it down to Bill wedding who took a big mark in the forward pocket on an acute angle
With Bill it was even money for the ball to hit his boot and it was 5/1 to kick the goal
And he kicked the goal

EUSTICE SAID:
Fos Williams had me running on the ball and Rogers grabbed the ball
he just fumbled it a bit, and looked up
I was coming flat out and Im sure he didnt think I would keep going
But I cleaned him up
You wouldnt believe the luck...the ball bounced into my arms as I was going flat out
I then kicked it down and Bill Wedding took a mark near goals

FOS WILLIAMS
Was the State coach
After the game, during the dressing room celebrations he put his arm around Ken and told him it was the best bump he had seen
Ive read a few times that Fos Williams really admired Ken as a footballer, and tried a few times to get Eustice to play under him at PA


HALBERT
The 1961 State players, it has been written, were a close well bonded team
What John Halbert had to say about the team just about sums it up :

The 61 Carnival had a big impact on us
We were thrown together for a week and played pool and we had a couple of pinball machines
2 blokes who went to that carnival hardly played- Paul Garnett and Dick Jackson
They played pinball and became really good at it
Every time you got a particular score you would win a bottle of beer
They won enough beer for us to have a party at the end of the carnival without spending a cent .

I remember seeing Barrie playing in his Woodville days, but until this thread, had not realised what a star footballer he was

At the end of 1964 Barrie was appointed captain coach of Kybybolite in the Upper South East. For some reason he did not need a clearance to go to the league they were in. Kybybolite was (and still is) a very rich area and Barrie was able to be set up financially better than North could offer. Also even though he was only 26 it seemed that he was past his prime. He had began to put on weight and had slowed down fractionally. In fact he had missed state selection for the 1964 interstate match against WA, something that would never have happened a few years before. After a couple of years at Kyby, Barrie returned to Adelaide where he was named on both North and Woodville's training lists. Woodville were able to find him good employment and Barrie was a bit disappointed at North's lack of effort in that regard. Thus he ended his career at Woodville, but he was only a shadow of the player that he had once been. He said his biggest regret at not returning to North was that he didn't get to play with Barrie Robran.

As an aside it was quite common for players in their prime to quit League footy to coach in the country. It certainly happened here with Jimmy Deane and in Melbourne with collingwood legends of the calibre of Bob Rose and Murray Weidemann. It even happened with Doug Thomas mid career when he coached Dimboola in country Victoria.

[McAlmanac]

I believe that George Blight is a cousin of Malcolm Blight. Another relative Horrie Blight had also played for Torrens, but Malcolm was an avid Port supporter.

Horrie Blight also captain-coached Woodville in Amateur League - I think he stands as Woodville's only senior premiership coach.

[robranisgod]

QUESTIONS
Why would a champion footballer coach in a Country competition ?

It happened a lot in the 1960s. Others who I can remember leaving the SANFL to go to coach whilst still young included Colin Richens and Harry Kernahan who both went to the Spencer Gulf league as did Bob Hammond. Bob would only have been 23 or 24 when he had a 2 year stint coaching Port in Port Pirie. Harry Kernahan too returned to Glenelg for a number of years after spending about 3 years up North. Colin Richens came back for finals but I don't think he resumed his career proper with Glenelg.

I had never thought of it before but Bob Hammond had already captain coached a premiership in probably the second strongest comp in the state when Norwood appointed him coach in 1974. I say that the Spencer Gulf League was the second strongest in the state when you consider at that stage it had 4 clubs from each of Port Pirie, Port Augusta and Whyalla.

Then there was Malcolm Hill from Sturt. He had already played in Hawthorn's first ever premiership before he came over to Sturt. After a few good seasons with Sturt he transferred to Berri as playing coach but Sturt brought him back for the 1966 Grand Final. I think that they sat him on the fence in 1968 as well, but I don't think that he got a run.

B: Bob Kite, Peter Aish, Bruce Johnson
Ruck: Bill Wedding, Glen McMahon, Peter Minervini
Res: Kevin Cousins, Bob Ashby

Umpire: Lawrie Sweeney
Attendance: 40,409

Peter Aish (Norwood) won the toss and elected to kick to the scoreboard end aided by a strong northerly breeze. The temperature registered at 95.1 degrees as Aish smiled at Kerley and quipped, “Norwood will bat”.

1st Quarter
Norwood opened with several goals but West Adelaide fought back late with three late goals into the breeze. It was clear that Norwood hadn’t made anywhere enough use of the wind. Norwood 4-5, West Adelaide 3-2

2nd Quarter
The second term was the tightest for the match with both teams slugging it out. West didn’t hit the lead for the first time of the match until late in the term. Jeff Bray hobbled off the ground with a pulled leg muscle, and Trevor Rue replaced him at CHB, a move that would have a significant effect on the game. West Adelaide 9-5, Norwood 7-6.

3rd Quarter
Tempers became frayed under the intense heat and players began to lose their cool. A number of incident occurred but not prolonged, so umpire Sweeney saw now need to make a report. Norwood’s ace ruckman Bill Wedding was suffering gastro and the heat rendered him ineffective as Kerley took control, giving West an unexpected ascendancy in ruck. West’s mosquito fleet began to take control with their centre line Eustice, Ryan and Johnson clearly on top. West outscored Norwood into the breeze in a match winning quarter. West Adelaide 12-8, Norwood 9-7.

Final Quarter
A 19 point lead in most Grand Finals is a handy one. In what was to be known as the “Turkish Bath” Grand Final, it was insurmountable as players became fatigued. Norwood were unable to make any impression in the final term, West Adelaide running out deserving winners by 36 points.



Final Score: West Adelaide 16-13 (109), d. Norwood 11-7 (73)
Best Players
WA: Kerley, Reu, Eustice, Benton, Ryan, DeBroughe, Hogan, Johnson
N: Aish, Lill, Oatey, Johnson, Minervini, Kneebone

Incidents in the third term, as well as the intense heat, took it’s toll on a number of players. In the Norwood camp, Fosdike and Harrison sustained broken noses, Aish received 4 stitches in gash above the right eye, Inglis 5 stitches in a split chin, Vickers burst a blood vessel in his right thigh, and Kite collapsed with exhaustion after the game. In the West camp, Bray had a torn hamstring and Lovegrove received 3 stitches in a split left ear.

I recall Neil Kerley reminding us in those days it was verboten to drink water during the match as we knew little about re-hydration. After the match, Kerley quaffed down 2 large bottles of soft drink, then headed off to a TV station for after match interviews.

Kerley was feeling unwell, so they cut for a quick commercial break, in which Kerley vomited all over the desk. Can you imagine playing 4 quarters of fluid and energy sapping footy and not being able to drink?

Players were certainly tough in those days.

Excellent post on the 61 Grand Final Hawky

2 Grand Final losses in a row to Norwood in 1960-1961

Neil Kerleys plea to Umpire Sweeney
"" When are you going to sound the bloody siren Laurie.""
Bill Wedding[NW] played the game with an injury and hay fever

Glen Mcmahon [NW] collapsed head -first when the siren sounded, oblivious to the crowd steaming all around him

[Look Good In Leather]

As mentioned in an earlier post, the most noteworthy event in the 1960s would have to be the 1964 season and Grand Final. South Adelaide coached by Neil Kerley, and with no real additions to their playing list (except Kerley), a club who ad won 12 wooden spoons and risen no higher than 6th since WW2, went from bottom to Premiers in one season.

The team:
Coach: Neil Kerley
F: David Kantilla, Dick Roennfeldt, Alan White
HF: Alf Skuse, Bruce Alexander, Lester Ross
C: Warren Ploenges, Lindsay Backman, Gerry O'Brien
HB: Bob Schmidt, Dick Jackson, Keith Stewart
B: Tony Shaw, Graham Durbridge, Graham Christie
Ruck: Peter Darley, Neil Kerley, Ian Day
Res: Peter Judd, Chris Thredgold

Should that be Brian Thredgold, not Chris Thredgold sitting on the fence?
