Nathan Batsanis was allocated to the Eagles when he was on the Power's list.

Nathan played 6 games with 12 goals in 2007 for WWT and 2 magarey votes

Spelly, do you know anything about an S. Waye from Willunga who played for Sturt around 1904-06?
Obviously Taffy Waye played around this time, I am thinking he may have used his middle name
Hendrick Stanbury (Taffy) Waye

He is referred to in this article:
http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/88130402
& this one:
http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/89741308

Any idea if these are two different people or the same, there were a heap of Wayes around Willunga at the time

Hendrick Stanbury "Taffy" Waye is your man! I have 100% evidence with a p/copy of the sturt officials book for those years!

Thanks Mark

Does anyone know of a player named Chris Prime who played for Norwood between 1993-1995? Do you happen to know his goals totals for those three seasons?

I certainly remember Chris Prime. A very powerfully built full forward who I think was nicknamed Tractor.

I can give you his goals for 1993 and 1994 thanks to the Norwood website. He was the club's leading goalscorer with 87 and 53 goals respectively. 87 goals in your first season is a pretty fair effort.

Phil Lounder Central
Richard Lounder Central North

Phil played at north ,not Rich !!!

Kym Lehmann North and Kym Lehmann Central are two different players. Kym Lehmann North was a tough, hard 5 foot 9 inch centreman who played in the 1971 North Premiership. He is Russell Ebert's brother in law. Kym Lehmann from Central was a tall full forward who I think played in Centrals 1979 finals teams.

Yes correct, Phil Lounder, Central and North
Richard Lounder Central and Richmond. Number one draft pick in 1986.

One of the all time "dud" Number 1 picks - played 1 game if my memory serves me correctly?

C.J Williams is missing from the list. Played 9 league games for the bays.
Also known as John Williams.

Is that Colin Williams 9 games in 1966.

must be... As he puts it he was 91 short of 100 for the bays. which i find a little bit amusing.

Spelly, do you know what years Michael Gilmour played at South and how many league games.

Pretty certain the North one is also Troy Lehmann's father, as well.

CDFC's Jordan Furnell made his debut on the weekend.

He kicked 4 goals in his first game for Richmond playing fullforward and ruck but his next 3 games only kicked 1 more goal and dropped off in form .
4 games 5 goals

Re Richard Lounders career at Richmond...I heard Rex Hunt describe him after one of his Richmond games, he said
"The only difference between Richard Lounder and the goalpost was that the goalpost didn't eat 12 oranges at half time"

Horace Leaker South

Horace (Horrie) Aubrey Leaker played for Sturt in the 1926 premiership

Horace Leaker for South looks to be the same person, however they refer to a middle initial of S in the following article (perhaps this could be a mistake):
http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/129144417

Horrie Leaker went to Sturt from Aldinga, he returned in to play in their 1927 premiership, where it appears he headed to South Adelaide the following season (1928).

In 1936 he had an accident where he lost his hand in a chaff-cutter incident. He returned to football for Aldinga in 1937 and played up until the start of WW2.

Born 22 August 1904 - Sellicks Hill
Died 22 August 1970 - McLaren Vale Hospital (age 66)
