This is the second best game of the year behind the GF....sad that it's been treated like this by the SANFL.

Side wise....is Summerton injured? Disgrace if he isn't picked otherwise. Our midfield looks good with Grigg, Panos, Schiller, Kirkwood etc but otherwise would have to say it is one of the weakest state sides I've seen in years or since I actively started watching state footy back in the mid to late 90's.

WA side not too bad really, will give us a run even at home. Hoping we still have the grunt in the middle to get up though.

SA by 8 points, Grigg for the medal.

Summerton playes for an afl reserves side. Should not be allowed to play.

Don't see what difference that makes since he isn't an AFL listed player. Should have been picked based on merit and he deserves a spot

Its a battle of one states league comp versus the others. Noone wants reserves players of the AFL involved.
If that happened no state game would ever happen again as the NEAFL and VFL sides would dominate.
If Summerton doesn't like it he could always make an angry tweet before money may change his mind about any integrity he has.

Except Summerton has absolutely nothing to do with the AFL. He's not on an AFL list and has always been a state league player. Having said that, he's a lot better than countless of his AFL listed teammates.

Game wise, can't remember seeing skills this bad for a long, long time. Especially fumbling by hand even when not under pressure. Perceived pressure getting to both sides, that second quarter was pathetic and disgraceful from SA. Need a bake at half time. Pride on the line!

Anyone know the last time WA won in SA? I'm thinking it might have been early 90s.

Was that SA v WA or just this SANFL v WAFL stuff?

[RB]

Just checked - it was SANFL v WAFL.

[RustyCage]

Anyone have any idea when the state league games started?

From a purely selfish point of view, I’d prefer no Glenelg players were picked for risk of injury.
However, it staggers me that Matty Snook couldn’t even make the squad.

I believe Terry Milera was invited out but didn't go out to training because he couldn't be bothered playing.

Wow what a hero . Obviously thinks he is above it.

You should stick to trolling about attendance figures.

So telling the truth is trolling .

I'm genuinely surprised by our win because I considered the SANFL comp. to be of a slightly higher standard than the WAFL, coupled with us being away from home. Then again I thought the same before we beat the VFL away last year.

We've really sharpened up our act over here with state football in recent years. It's in the attitude I think. Our players are showing pride at wearing the jumper and representing the WAFL competition.

Did any Dogs players get hurt,bar that couldn't care less.

[Michael]

If they were listening then probably. I saw a bit on the stream and tuned into the radio whilst driving and switched off . Terrible . Was the guy from WA speaking into a can ?

I think state league matches started betweem SA and WA in 1904 and have continued ever since.
Even when state of origin football was huge in the 1980s there was still very regular state league matches.
