Paul Lefty - 6: Barmera Monash, Berri, Loxton, Loxton North, Cobdogla, Lyrup.

Not sure about George, don't think he played for any Loxton teams but did play for Paringa.

Still trying to track Terry's coaching record.

Dimma!

Good player was Dimma. Had a reasonable year at Berri but he dominated the year he played at Loxton. He was a gun. Not long after a knee recon too if I remember correctly.


Had two, possibly three stints at Loxton.
I think he played in '96 GF. Then came back a second time, where he formed a midfield partnership with Steve Hamilton. Possibly came back for one more stint in the 2000s, IIRC. Body wise, he was more than done by then. Hard as nails, though.


Played in Freeling's 2 gf losses in 2006 and 2007

He played at Lyrup in 1993 when Terry Lefty coached them. Cannot remember him playing for Paringa though.

I was pretty certain about Lyrup. Uncertain about Paringa, so I'd reckon you'd be right.

Have to Mathew Pavlich, wouldn't it? ;)

350 games, say 175 of them away from Perth, 3425k's each way to Melbourne, 6850 return, 175*6850 = 1,198,750kms

I don't think there's enough credit being given to Shayne and Marc, not just for the unusual spelling of their names, but also the absolute commitment to spreading themselves around so many clubs. They've done a remarkable job, have probably seen more of SA and grass roots footy than most of us.

Also shows a very significant commitment to learning the words to club songs.

Played in the 93, 94 and 97 flags for Victor Harbor. Went to Mundulla in between IIRC.

Possibly had a kick for Goolwa when he was involved/coaching later too.

Left Sanfl and played country in vic, then has been through jervois, ironbank, roxby, broadview, nairne, and even coolamon in nsw giving him a grand total of 7 clubs in only 6 years...not a bad effort


Reckon he played at moonta for a year too when his old man coached and brother played there too!!


A bit rough, he was coach of Ironbank and then got a job in the mines so couldn't continue. Played in Roxby and also at Broadview when home in 2014 and did the same this season after committing to Coolamon and then taking a job in the Hills where he lives, so played when he could for Nairne Bremer.

Ladsy was fantastic around our Club and has been great with our young list. He got involved in fundraising and put in a lot of energy both on and off the field and we look forward in his involvement next season. Oh and as for your $$ claims; he's signed on with us as not even our marquee player, there for the right reasons from what I can see!


Nor should he be your marquee player he'd be near on 37 years old.
