Does anyone know what happened to "the chief". Did he go to WA to play??

Interesting one with James May.
A highly rated junior who left the club for a few years to come back and "kill the pig" for the Blues in '96, yet spent most of '97 in the twos and was not to be seen at SANFL level again.

I remember seeing this guy in the River Murray League in the mid 90's, he'd have to be in the top 3 country footballers i've ever seen. I half expected him to be named in Port's inaugural AFL squad in 96, would certainly have been as worthy as Donald Dickie and a few other guys!!

Given the timing of this good season, I'm sure the Power would have had a look at someone like him, given that he'd only just turned 22 at the time.
Don't know what happened at Sturt, perhaps he fell out with Carman?
Played for a few years in River Murray as you stated GWW, then back to coach Nairne and still playing for Meadows now.

Cheers AH.

I've sent an email to nai at Footysa to tell him to put all these teams up on the wiki and he agreed.

Great work, JH - I lost all these during a move.

Has Russell Ebert got the most selctions?

Eleven in total...

1971, 1972, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1984 (coach)

I think the most would be John Cahill & Lindsay Head, both with 12.

Cahill: 59, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 73.
Head: 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64.

Also, Cahill had 3 selections as coach: 80, 90, 92.

There was a Silver Jubille Team selected by the Advertiser from 1952 to 2002. the teams was:

Coach: Jack Oatey
F: Rick Davies, Tim Evans, Lindsay Head
HF: Barrie Robran, Len Fitzgerald, Michael Aish
C: Ken Eustice, Russell Ebert, John Cahill
HB: Geof Motley, Paul Weston, Bob Shearman
B: Michael Taylor, John Abley, Paul Bagshaw
Ruck: Peter Carey, Neil Kerley, Foster Williams
Int: Graham Cornes, John Halbert, Garry McIntosh

Robran on a half forward flank????????? That's Champagne Comedy!!!

I think the basis for selection was the number of times they were selected in the Advertiser Team of the Year. Added to that, Robran's versatility allows for a more balanced team. I couldn't imagine the team would look as good if Fitzgerald, Ebert or Kerley were named on a HF flank.

Kerley?? Was this guy actually any good as a footballer? I guess most of the people posting on this site probably wouldn't have see him play, given that he retired 40 or so years ago. I've always just had the belief he was tough and uncompromising and an inspirational coach, but never had the perception that he was a champion footballer (although i'm sure if you asked him personally he'd say otherwise!!).

I never saw him play but I'll bet London to a brick that Robran was a better ruck-rover.
I can understand AH's arguement for balance but Robran is wasted on a half-forward flank.

Given the timing of this good season, I'm sure the Power would have had a look at someone like him, given that he'd only just turned 22 at the time.
Don't know what happened at Sturt, perhaps he fell out with Carman?
Played for a few years in River Murray as you stated GWW, then back to coach Nairne and still playing for Meadows now.

Yes, i can remember clearly Jimmy May's time with RMFL club Murray Bridge Redlegs (now out of existence), i think it was 94/95. Redlegs appointed Kym Bartlett as coach, and they recruited about 7 or 8 really high quality Hills players. They basically dominated the minor rounds of both years, but were unable to win a flag. They made the GF in 95 against the side i followed, Tailem Bend. Redlegs were leading early, and May must have had about 14 touches in a quarter and a bit, he was then "run through" by a Tailem defender and concussed, which turned the course of the match. I think Muffy Kartinyeri (ex Sturt/South), still playing at Tailem this year, won the medal for BOG that day.

I believe that May had a serious injury a year or two ago, so surely must be playing on one leg these days, if he was 100% he'd be a superstar in the Hills country League.

As good as he is though, probably wasted his time in country leagues, should have been a 200 game SANFL player.

The same is often said of Jack Cahill, Fos Williams and Jack Oatey.

Their achievements in the coaches box tends to overshadow their playing careers.

But they were all great players in their own right.

I do know of his reputation for being a good footballer, but i have always had the feeling that he was tough, and somehow his "legend" was larger than the reality. Cahill had great skills i'm aware of that, and have recently learnt that Oatey is highly regarded by Norwood as a player. And Williams as well was an inspirational footballer, in addition to his coaching exploits. I've always just had the feeling that the "Mr Football" persona elevated Kerley's football playing career above what it actually was....so was wondering what the reality actually was.
