Any chance of you spelling at a meaningful level?

 

[St-KriS]

Wayne Brittain is the only one I can think off of the top of my head.

Who never played the game at a meaningful level?

Trying to get that debate up and running again that the SANFL is a meaningless competition?

For the record, Neil Craig could have chosen to play VFL if he wanted to. Chose to stay in SA for family reasons.

Actually that was clearly a typo, completely different from a spelling mistake.

Nah...he played for North & South Melbourne.

Sorry Sheeds, Neil Craig IMO would have struggled to play regular VFL footy - courage was not something he was known for. He may still prove to be a good coach.

Port Power and West Coast's initial coaches - John Cahill and John Todd.

you seriously have no idea do you?

so representing the proud sa state side is not a meaningful level?

Mate ,you have no bloody idea. Neil Craig was a very talented , and tough footballer. I recall a couple of SA footy greats saying just how competitive and tough Craig was.

Sydney coach 89-91 Col Kinnear. I think he is now carltons football manager

He played in a flag for North, didn't he?

Brittain is the only one I can think of...

Rooboy, I have been watching footy since 1971 so I reckon I have some idea. Neil Craig was a skillful footballer who played at 3 SANFL clubs but he was NEVER a tough footballer. He was an outside player who used to kick short - IMO he certainly would have struggled to get a game at AFL level.

 

[portentous]

Neil Craig was a very talented football player, as was John Cahill BTW. Not all talented players decide to play in Victoria. Gary McIntosh is another that springs to mind.

This thread just shows the ignorance of some.......

Well, good on ya. But you're wrong on Craig. He could be very hard at the ball and the man.I'm not talking Kerley, Whitten tough, but tough all the same.

As I said rooboy, that's my opinion about his playing ability and you have yours. He has certainly exceeded my expectations (and I am sure yours) as a footy coach after his 5 years at a power house like Norwood without a flag.

 

[Altum Volantes]

Port Power and West Coast's initial coaches - John Cahill and John Todd.

Todd didn't play VFL football but was a Sandover medallist.

Obviously it was a bit different back then with a more even quality spread across the country.

Oh and hate to be a stickler, but Ron Alexander was WC's first coach, Todd the 2nd.

Is this a long winded way of you trying to defend Ports fans attempts to have their SANFL premierships count in the trophy tally ??

Good luck.

 

[1980GFVideo]

Bloke with an unbelievable winning ratio as AFL coach of the Brisbane Bears.

He coached five wins from seven games, 15 years ago (1989).

Paul Feltham.

Im sure he didnt play.

Did he play with Kangaroos in the seventies?.

I cannot remember his background. but I dont think it was VFL

Paul Feltham played 128 games for North and was a member of their 1975 premiership side. One of the North stalwarts who was rewarded for his loyalty to the team during some of its darkest times.

Not sure on Connoly.

 

[Toots Hibbert]

Port Power and West Coast's initial coaches - John Cahill and John Todd.

If John Cahill were playing today there is no doubt he would have been drafted by pick 5. He would waltz into any AFL side.

He played 267 games for Port captaining the side for 7 years. He played 29 state games and was captain of SA for three years. In 1969 he was named Vice-Captain of the All Australian side. He was highly skilled and a ferocious competitor.
