Sturts 5 in a row....which was best???

[Jimmy]

Anyone have an opinion on which side of the 5 they thought was the best. I believe my old man thinks the 69 side was the best iirc, but not 100% sure.

thoughts???

1968. 2 losses, both to Port by 19 points but beat them in 2nd semi & GF.

I'd go for 1966. The only team that had ME Jones and John Halbert at FF and CHF. Clarkson was playing the best footy of his career, and Rick Schoff was All-Australian (although he missed the GF through injury). Plus a 56 point belting of a team who had won 9 flags in the previous 12 SANFL seasons was a wonderful effort.

The amazing thing some people don't realise with the Sturt 5-in-a-row, is they only won 2 minor premierships in that time. North Adelaide was MP in 1967, Glenelg 1969, and Port Adelaide 1970.
