Adelaide Footy League Division 1 - 2019

[Footy Chick]

Lewis was the other one! Lewis, Gav, Jessie and George definitely all in the same team

Paul Fantasia was also in the same team but can't remember whether Orazio even played at PNU

[jo172]

Orazio played all his juniors at PNU.

Even managed an A Grade game at 15 in 2011. He was best on ground. Good lad. Celebrated the flag this year with the best of them.

Figured he would've

Sounds like the top 3 sides from 2019 will be even stronger in 2020. Good luck to the other seven.

The PNU team in my junior age group were awesome, had five guys I reckon in the 2000 State Schoolboys Team (Josh Irwin, Justin Dantini, Ryan Obst and others).

Don't think they lost a game for three or four years in the late 90s/early 2000s.

Bloody hell, there's a couple of names I hadn't thought about in years. Josh was a gun, but I think had essentially chucked in footy by age 18.

Never thought D'Antini was an outstanding junior (he was a good player still), just a lump of a lad who physically dominated his peers.

Has Macca stepped down as head coach, and Jace Bode is the new coach

OR

Is Jace Bode the new assistant with view to Macca standing down at seasons end 2020?

Jace Bode is the new Coach, Macca to coach the Reserves and Under 16s.

Good way to keep under the salary cap. Pay Bode as the senior coach

That salary cap must be very close to the tipping point but im sure its just good management.

Nothing unusual for a Norwood side

[joeyunit]

good appointment for payneham. if they've got any points left they'll get a few norwood ressies and fringe league players before they head to the hills and barossa for the real $$$

How come the Easten side of the city teams dominate the competition most years?

I think you can mount a reasonable answer that it's pretty cyclical.

From Payneham's win in 1978 until SPOC's win in 2012 you have a pretty hard time describing any grand finalist let alone premiership winner as being from the East.

As to recent years. My suspicion is that the Norwood threepeat IP/culture is pretty valuable and a fair bit of that IP/Culture is spread around PNU/ROCS/SPOC/PAOC/TTG

[LaughingKookaburra]

The Eastern Suburbs and North Eastern Suburbs are home to some very strong metropolitan footy clubs. Compared to other areas across Adelaide how does this area stack up with the amount of clubs within a specific radius say around 10-12km from Campbelltown Oval?

The amount of footy clubs in South Metro Adelaide if you did a 10-12km radius from the old Mitsubishi factory is insane and is spread across 3 leagues. Probably could have a similar conversation in the North, however I would raise that there are some pretty big footy clubs in that Southern radius where in the North there are a lot more smaller to middle sized footy clubs there.

From memory @morell did some really interesting work on this in a thread a few years ago when a few clubs seemed teetering on the edge of survival.

From memory, blue suggested a notional over supply of footballers in a given area, red, an undersupply

I remember that discussion.
Problem is the non-district clubs are not predominantly from one area (ie) PAOCFC is inner north city but players come from everywhere
Lutherans are inner south - west but the same
The NW suburbs went through a metamorphosis when The POWER came in (did I get that right?)
The E suburbs have consolidated with the loss of Burnside Kensington and Campbelltown Magill and the PNU merger. Now there is PNU, Glenunga, Hectorville and to an extent: Athelstone
To me: that outer / inner N/NE is a problem with Fitzroy / Kilburn / Gaza / Broadview / Walkerville / Gepps Cross (maybe not to the same extent) all fighting for players / juniors in a demographic changed area

While you're chucking Kilburn and Gepps in there you have to branch it out a little further to the densest of clubs per square kilometre, Greenacres, Ingle Farm, Pooraka, Para Hills, Mawson Lakes, Brahma Lodge and St. Pauls have certainly got their work cut out as far as competing with others, most of them are not even a 1 can trip between each other.
