SANFL 2021 SEASON

[whybother]

"No grog."


Oh yeah ! Which one(s) has the Grange?

[Dutchy]

If SA is under control, but Vic isn't, then wont the Crows and Port need to do 14 days when they return?

It may be different for AFL listed players given they are in stricter quarantine, screened every day and are tested twice weekly for COVID (2020 protocol).

Therefore they are more easily allowed to travel is there is greater certainty hat they arent infectious when they travel compared to the average member of the public. However given over half of their last SANFL team will be in Melbourne for the next three weeks if the SANFL got going in two weeks time would they even be able to play?

If the above was true there would have been no need for them to relocate to Melb

Whilst we’re solving unknowns - what is happening with the West End Chimney this season? Does it just stay like it is till it gets knocked down?

Won’t have to change the colours with the current form of both sides that are on it now…

Just the order

West Torrens council has approved to put the SANFL premiers colours on the chimney at the Brickworks.
Geez, I'll have to find somewhere else to shop when the Bays colours go up there.

Remember, Norwood was the favorite to win the 2018 GF against Nth Adel.
(not that I want to remember)

[whybother]

And Eagles were pretty firm favourite against West and Sturt in 2015 and 2016

Glenelg was a beaten fav to Norwood in 1975

Glenelg was a beaten fav to Norwood in 1975

Sturt were unbackable favourites to beat Norwood in 1978
North were a short priced favourite in 1986
The Eagles were unbackable favourites in 1994
Central were favourites in 1996. Port were the incredible odds of 15/10. I walked into Footy Park with $20 and left 3 hours later with $50. Thanks Mal.
Central were favourites in 2002 when Sturt beat them.
But there have been a lot more favourites salute.

A lot of examples there. Its what happens on the day, not what happens during the minor round that counts. Another game I don't want to remember was the final between Glg and Nwd when Glg had the wind for 3 quarters . Weather, injuries can be unforeseen factors that can have an influence on the day.

It looks like you can drive down Port Road again now though.

Whilst stuck in traffic on Thursday morning I saw a bloke starting to paint the top of the West End chimney grey. He must not have been an Eagles fan - it only took him about 2 minutes with the large roller to cover up most of the Eagles' colours whilst initially leaving the Roosters untouched, even though it looked like he could reach the red and white from the same scaffold platform.

I didn't see what the end result was but I guess they have to give the site a cleanskin ready for sale or whatever they are going to do with it. End of an era but at least the tradition will continue 1km away.

I guess we are still the "reigning premier" until at least this year's GF, despite what the chimney says.

Of course it is the end of an era but younger posters may not realise that this will be the third chimney. The original chimney was located at the West End Brewery. The Premiers colours moved to the Southwark Brewery somewhere around the late 1970s. It was certainly at its current location by 1983.

Sturt/Port game started at 2.30pm today - yellow ball

South/North game started at 2.35pm today - red ball

[Wedgie]

Speaking of the ball, the 200 game SANFL player I went with to the game last week swears the Burley balls are crap and the reason for a lot of ordinary kicks and weird bounces. I know when I was younger I hated them compared to a Sherrin.

NO AFL IN SANFL FINALS!

You effin beauty

[whybother]

When will Kochy start agitating for a SANFL final 8 so that his extra players have somewhere to keep up the fitness/form of the surplus AFL players?
