West Torrens defeated Sturt in the first ever game at Thebarton Oval on May 6th 1922. I emailed the club last October suggesting if a game could be played at Thebarton Oval to commemorate 100 years. Especially with the Eagles colours atop the nearby brickworks chimney, however, received no reply.

Not surprising Thebby and Prospect are a similar age, when games were played at Thebby I always thought it had the most similar feel and atmosphere to Prospect. Those 2 along with Norwood would be my favs.

There was an oval reduction policy in the early 90s. Torrens (Footy Pk) and Sturt (Adelaide Oval) did the same.
Was even talk about the Dogs and North sharing an oval which thankfully never happened. North also considered Adelaide Oval and Norwood Oval at various stages but there was a huge backlash.

There you go. I do recall Sturt playing home games at AO, watching them a fair few times against the Dogs but didn't realise Glenelg also went to AO.
Did South also move there, I recall watching them a fair few times against the Dogs at AO or was that more of just a half way meeting point for those games.

Brickbats to the SANFL for programming this game with an early start time on Mothers' Day. Will likely have to give this one a miss.
