Brian was Jack Cahill's right hand man for over 20 years, and a pretty important cog in the 10 flags Jack coached at Port.

Dave Granger nicknamed Grave Danger is the best one I have heard in footy. Was an exceptionally talented football who when he lost it, was a dangerous thing to be his opponent. He was asked to be the enforcer and look aafter his teammates by his coach, and somwtimes went way too far.

I remember when he was inducted to the Australian Football HoF in 2006 and I looked at his record, I thought he was stiff not be an inaugural inductee in 1996. I had heard the name before that, but didn't realise how good his record was.

I was saddened when someone on the Port board had seen the Sports History Australia facebook post re John's death and reported his passing early yesterday evening. I had a bit of correspondence with John around 2008 after reading his site for 3 or 4 years at that stage and was shocked by how...

Yep 1902 Port finished the season top of the table and refused to play the semi final against 3rd placed South Adelaide because they didn't like the umpire. You need to understand the history of finals formats to understand why Port pulled this stunt and thought they could get away with it...

WAFL players started going in decent numbers to the VFL every year in the early to mid 1970's but plenty went in the 1960's. SANFL were 10-12 years behind with annual big numbers moving over the border not happening until mid 1980's and dribbs and drabs in the 1970's. That stability to personal...

In my previous post I have seen Redden's record as 378 games for North + 11 for state games = 389 in SANFL yearbooks I have for the 1990's. But his SA Football Hall of Fame record - the HofF was established in 2002. http://sanfl.com.au/halloffame/michael-j-redden/ PLAYING RECORD: • 379 games...

SA totals counted preseason games and in the 1980's and early 19990's was as many as 5 games a year + a final for the Escort Cup and when smoking advertising was banned became the Foundation cup. So I cant see there being any additional games. 378 games + 11 state games is the total I have seen...

2014 book Harvey 40, Fletcher 33 Its clear the AFL count all preseason games that are part of a comp that has a sponsor.

2018 book Harvey 46, Fletcher 34 2016 book Harvey 44, Fletcher 34

Burgoyne played in both 2018 JLT games against doggies and carlton http://www.afl.com.au/match-centre/jlt-community-series/2018/1/wb-v-haw http://www.afl.com.au/match-centre/jlt-community-series/2018/2/haw-v-carl

2016 AFL Record Season Guide says 20 so that means he played 4 JLT games in 2016+2017 - I attended one of those games in 2017 at Noarlunga Oval - South Adelaide's home ground about 35km south of Adelaide. So it could be 25 or 26 now.

24 preseason/night series games according to page 713 of AFL Record Season Guide 2018 book

Marginally, they have the premiership winners, Magarey and Sandover medalists, Oatey and Simpson medalists for BOG in GF and maybe the list the Williams and Simpson medalists from state games. The TAC Cup in total gets more pages than these 2 comps.

Not my list, I just cut and pasted it from the site and adjusted for Boomer.

Yes I basically said that - well about all the South Aussies who played in the SANFL from the 1960's thru to the mid 1990's when they wound up the Foundation Cup series. He averaged almost 25 games per year which means no injuries and every year finals if it was only premiership season games.

r+b if your table is in excel format can I make a suggestion that you gold on use some colour to highlight the cell with the players name in it, of who has been admitted to the Australian Hall of Fame as by my quick look apart from Harvey and Fletcher who aren't eligible yet about 1/3rd of those...

Yesterday I posted in the main board thread about Boomer Harvey and quoted the 400 gamers from James Hothersall Football Facts and Feats site. http://www.oocities.org/jsmooth_00001/Footyfacts.html The link in SJ's post in the 3rd post doesn't work so I'm not sure if its Hothersall's site but...

Its blokes like the late John Wood and the late John Sincock who were Port's historians and members of the society.

There is bugger all on line. The sanfl clubs have historians and they have some society. You could get in touch with them.

This one might be good for 67 days to go then. https://web.archive.org/web/20110806054419/http://www.fullpointsfooty.net/the_goalpost_final.htm

And Austin, Dennis Lille and John "Strop" Cornell were great mates and put the basic concept of World Series Cricket to Kerry Packer and were heavily involved with him taking it from an idea to reality.

The great US sports broadcaster Howard Cosell who worked on radio in the 1950's - was stopped working on TV because the ABC big wigs for almost a decade because they didn't like he was Jewish - then on TV from mid 1960's to late 1980's The importance that our society attaches to sport is...
