    SANFL 2025 -- Grand Final Wrap-Up

    Hi Footy fans... The Thomas Seymour-Hill Trophy. The only prize in Australian football to carry a name, that being of one of South Australian football's other long serving administrators. Much like the late Max Basheer in later times, T.S. Hill served the interests of the game for the better...

    SANFL FINALS 2025 -- Week 3 Wrap-Up

    Hi Footy fans... Before this wrap went live on the forums, the SANFL lost one of its longest serving administrators in Max Basheer. For almost half a century, Max served South Australian football for the better part of 50 years, beginning with what is now known as the Adelaide Footy League in...

    SANFL FINALS 2025 -- Week 2 Wrap-Up

    Hi Footy fans... Last week the Bulldogs were the first team to be eliminated from September football, a disappointing end to their season after a strong start to the year couldn't be maintained. The victorious Redlegs gained a measure of revenge after two previous encounters in finals football...

We're now at the business end of the season and while five teams get preparations going early for 2026, the other five will ultimately join them one after the other over the coming weeks as they fight for the ultimate prize in South Australian football, the Thomas Seymour-Hill...

    SANFL 2025 -- Round 19 Wrap-Up

    Hi Footy fans... We have now come to the end of the minor round and next week is the business end of the season with the commencement of the 2025 SANFL Finals Series. While the minor premiership and the Qualifying Final participants decided, the make-up of the Elimination Final was still not...

    SANFL 2025 -- Round 18 Wrap-Up

    Hi Footy fans... After last week's matches the minor premiership was finally signed, sealed and delivered to the men of Oxford Terrace. Now it's all a question of whether their unbelieveable streak can translate into a 100+ year first and match the feats of the invincibles of the early 20th...

    SANFL 2025 -- Round 17 Wrap-Up

    Hi Footy fans... While the minor premiership hadn't totally been decided prior to this past weekend, it'd be hard to believe that it won't end up heading to Unley now. The Blues look like they're on the cusp of something huge, but with that weighing on their minds will it prove to be their...

    SANFL 2025 -- Round 16 Wrap-Up

    Hi Footy fans... Alrighty then, my fellow SA footy-heads... we are coming into the final stretch for the regular part of the 2025 SANFL Season and it looks as though the Double Blues are all but guaranteed the minor premiership and a pass through to the 2nd Semi-Final. As it stood before this...

    SANFL 2025 -- Round 14/15 Wrap-Up

    Hi Footy fans... Another of our favourite sons was lost this past fortnight with the passing of North Adelaide premiership player and member of the Legends wing in the AFL Hall of Fame, Barrie Robran. Arriving at Menzies Crescent in the late 1960's from the Iron Triangle city of Whyalla, Robran...

    Vale Barrie Robran

    I do intend on making light of this on the next wrap-up, but it won't be until next week because it will be a condensed R14-15 thread.

    SANFL 2025 -- Round 13 Wrap-Up

    Ok folks, because of the single match in Round 15, the next wrap-up will actually be a condensed R14/R15 thread because devoting one post to a single minor round match just isn't worth the time and effort... especially when its a mini-showdown.

    SANFL 2025 -- Round 13 Wrap-Up

    Hi Footy fans... With this past weekend being that which the annual SA Country Football Championships were being held in Port Pirie, this week we'll start with a piece of football history that took place around this time 40 years ago. Before he was given the senior state coach role the...

    SANFL 2025 -- Round 12 Wrap-Up

    Hi Footy fans... This past week we lost one of South Australian football's most famous voices, that of Ian Day. "Daisy" ended up behind the microphone following a 135-game SANFL career with West Adelaide and South Adelaide, the latter of which saw him a part of the 1964 premiership winning...
