After years of searching footage has finally been unearthed of Ken Farmer kicking a goal. He is #9 for the South Australian side. Also some other big names of Victorian and South Australian football at the time here. It is from the 1933 Carnival Game in Sydney between the Vics and SA. Final...
A few off the top of my head.......
Iggy and The Stooges - Raw Power
The Clash - The Clash
Pixies - Surfer Rosa
Dead Kennedys - Fresh fruit for rotting vegetables
Rowland S Howard - Teenage Snuff Film
Died Pretty - Doughboy Hollow
Scientists - Blood red river
Sonic Youth - Goo
The Saints -...
The locals against the naming of the lane were in a very small minority, and they certainly didn't dare make themselves known to me. ;) The problem with the naming was the Office of Geographic Location refused the whole name as they now no longer allow two names to be used in naming...
I've been writing bios on each of the players for the club, and I'm about half way through.
There were seven SAFL(SANFL) club at the start of the Great War - Norwood, North Adelaide, Sturt, South, West Adelaide, West Torrens and Port Adelaide. Glenelg joined in 1921 and Woodville and Central...
This is the list of ALL players associated with North Adelaide that enrolled in the Great War, and includes players that didn't debut until after the war.

The club's "Official" honor roll only included players...
I'm genuinely pleased to see that. Good for music in this Berg and good on AC/DC fans for getting out to see them.
Personally haven't seen them since the 81 tour at Memorial drive, when we all much younger ;)

I'm not. They were only here a couple of years back and had both Malcolm Young and Phil Rudd playing with them then. They are dangerously close to a tribute band now.
Not a massive fan of his music but the #1 nicest musician I have met....and I've met a few. Also he nailed "Know your Product" singing out front with Hunters and Collectors and that counts for a lot in my book :thumbsu:
What he said. Plus some others not mentioned
Liz Dealey - Acid Drops. Twenty Second sect (The original Riot girl 10 years before anyone came up with the phrase)
Penny Ikinger - arguably the best female rock guitarist this country has produced
Cathy Green - Cough Cough, X, Love Addicts, Poker...
When I saw him at the final training session at Junction Oval on the friday evening I said to my wife "He's the world's luckiest guy to be in this team." Top call that one :$
Kerley dropped the ball big time on that one. There was some feeling there, and you'll notice that even when Fud came back to Adelaide he never got interviewed post game by Kerley. Not sure if they ever kissed and made up.
One of the biggest wastes of talent ever. He got into trouble with the Crows for skipping training to go to the Guns and Roses concert in melbourne. More fool him from all accounts it was bloody awful :p. Then later got picked up DUI and I'm pretty sure the Crows sacked him after that. He played...
It's the West Adelaide bench. That's Jack Oatey (West's coach at the time) doing the splits.
The offending goalpost was chopped down later that night by some West Adelaide players (including Neil Kerley) who jumped the fence into Adelaide Oval. It ended up on the BBQ at the West Adelaide wake...
Ken Farmer kicked 347 goals in 54 games on Adelaide Oval (average 6.43 p/g). He was never goalless on Adelaide Oval. His games total was 224 so he played just under a quarter of his total games on Adelaide Oval.
This doesn't really answer the question but is worth considering. Jack "Dinnie" Reedman played league football from 1887 - 1909 (missing the 1908 as non-playing coach of West Adelaide). He played for Hotham, North Adelaide (mark 2), South Adelaide and North Adelaide (mark 3). All these clubs...
