AH, did the following players from those lists ever play league footy for Norwood (or anyone else for that matter)?

1998 D.ROLFE Norwood
1999 S.BRESLAUER Norwood
2006 J.BAMPTON Norwood (I know he didn't but wonder what became of him?)

1990 M.KING Norwood
1991 D.BETTERMAN Norwood
1996 D.POVEY Norwood

Im familiar with most of their names and often wondered why some of them didn't translate their abilities at a higher level?

None of them played at league level. I can't say why not, I only know one of them personally, and although he was a good footballer, possibly lacked the foot speed to succeed at a higher level.

As you look down the lists, you notice a host of names in the underage competitions who went on to bigger and better things, but since the advent of the Crows, very few names have gone on with it, e.g. Adam Cooney, Lindsay Thomas, etc. Certainly in Under 19s, the cupboard is bare. I put this down to the changing face of football in this state where any kid with genuine talent wouldn't find himself still playing underage footy at 17 or 18, they'd be playing senior SANFL or drafted into the AFL.

The list that has always interested me most is the Reserves Magarey Medal. The list is a combination of veritable unknowns and players who not only went onto league football but also achieved higher than that (State, League Magarey, VFL/AFL, etc). The exception to this is John McInnes who put his footy career on hold for over 10 years due to studies and won his 3 medals in the twighlight of his footy life.

.

While you're right the U/19's medallist might not be the cream of the underage players like he was once, surely he must still have some talent so you'd think a few would crack league footy. Perhaps it is the amatuer and country clubs getting into these players? Know of a number of lads this age who get or did get paid when they were 19-20.

Think Bampton is back playing at Lobey, but could be wrong.

I think that supports the argument for the scrapping of the U19s. When you see that the vast majority of players considered to be the best in that comp don't even go on to play senior footy, you have to question the value of it and the cost of running it.

By the way AH, I presume the Reserves Magarey Medallist L.Grosser is Leon from West Adelaide, not West Torrens.

Rolfe played at league level AH after which he spent a few seasons at Encounter Bay & then Old Ignatians and is now overseas. Sam Breslauer suffered a serious knee injury in 2000. I know the coaching staff at Norwood rated him extremely highly (I recall his 17's coach telling me he rated him higher than Scott Borlace whom he also coached) and he appeared certain to be drafted before he did his knee. I do believe he was running around for TTG's B Grade a few years back.

[Adelaide Hawk]

Rolfe played at league level AH.

Yes, he did, I'd overlooked him. Hre played 3 games in 2000 and 2001.

Thanks for that, I've changed it. Typed in haste ... that's my story and I'm sticking to it

He was my teacher at High school, Did he want to be a priest hence why he put his footy career on hold.
In the end I don't think he become a priest.
Must of been a decent footballer?

He was a brother for about 10 years. He made his league debut in about 1957 and then played his next game in about 1971. In 1971 against the eventual premiers he was clearly best on ground in a losing side, shows his quality as a player.

[Adelaide Hawk]

Had John McInnes been able to commit to football, he would have played well over 200 games and been a star of the game. He was a student at Rostrevor College and played in the 1st XVIII between 1953-56, being captain in 55 & 56, also winning the Gosse Medal as best player in the competition in both years.

In 1956 he also played Under 19s at Norwood, and found himself selected in the league team for the 1st Semi Final versus North Adelaide. For the next 10 years John studied and taught in Christian Brothers Schools in Melbourne and played no regular football in that time.

In 1967 he returned to Adelaide and attempted a comeback with Norwood, was put on the League training list, but injury forced another premature retirement. In 1968 he was appointed Reserves non-playing Coach. This was Robert Oatey's first season as senior coach. The problem Norwood had at this time was the exodus of senior players such as Ron Kneebone, Haydn Bunton, Bill Wedding, etc, and the club was devoid of on field experience.

John started playing again around mid-68, and won the Reserves Magarey Medal in 1969 as captain-coach. Further loss of Graham Molloy and Damien Nygaard saw Oatey bring in experienced players such as Don Roach and John McInnes for on field leadership. So, in round 1 1970 we saw John play his second league match against Port Adelaide at the Parade, 14 years after his debut, a match remembered most for the stunning debut of Phil Carman.

He was a well balanced player, never hurried, always chose the correct option, and rarely missed a target. He played more like a seasoned veteran of 200 games rather than someone playing their 2nd league match.

John was a regular in the team until round 8, 1971, when his job was done. The recruitment of players such as John Wynne, and the improvement of a new wave of young players saw John's return to the Reserves where he picked up a further two medals.

My enduring memory of John was for the most perfect hip and shoulder bump laid at Woodville Oval on Noel Teasdale. Although the bump was perfectly legal in every way, Teasdale's wonky knee buckled, thus ending his career. John was technically one of the best players I've seen at Norwood.

One who should've been given more opportunities coaching at senior level too.
