That survived until 1997. Below that was the stats - quarter by quarter for kicks, marks and handballs. That lasted until 2000. When the Advertiser changed from broadsheet to tabloid during the 1997/98 off season, it coincided with all AFL games stats being included. I think it also gave the Advertiser the chance to condense the SANFL section to accomodate for this.
The Sunday Mail in 2003 had a liftout for football only. That lasted just that season. Then it was the dogs breakfast you see until now. The Advertiser since 2005 has massive pictures to get rid of print space for the SANFL section. Also, before this, if need be, the ladder was printed on the previous page, separate to the two page SANFL section.
Finally, the Advertiser and Sunday Mail stopped printing the first name initial on the stats a couple of years ago, to end up with the stupid listing of either Kane, Kane or Gowans, Gowans. No-one told you who Ben or Chris was or James and Chris.
Think you may find its duncan draper not Dion!
