There was only 8146 for the Adelaide v Norwood and Sturt vs Glenelg games And the following week there were 8036 for the Adelaide v North and Norwood v Glenelg games. I haven't seen the crowd as yet for the preliminary final. The Grand Final should draw well. North vs Norwood in 2018 drew over...

With respect to crowds it was ludicrous to program the North Adelaide vs Glenelg game at 1:10 p.m. on Sunday, just at the time most families were enjoying a Mother's Day lunch. If North or the SANFL wanted a Sunday match to coincide with the date of the first ever match at Prospect, surely they...

Thanks for that. I have been looking for that vision for ages. The News of the Monday said that Norwood had 19 men for about a minute. Where the confusion came in was that Neil Balme said on the radio during the week after the 2018 fiasco that Port scored 3 goals 1 behinds whilst Norwood had 19...

Please explain. They weren't dudded. North scored 2 points, not 8 whilst their were 19 men on the ground. Check the times when Allmond came off the ground and when Ramsay goaled. North put the cue in the rack when 23 points up in the last quarter and rested Tanner Smith and Max Thring who were...

Last week you mentioned that crowds had been very poor, but I note with a return to normality in scheduling 4 of the 5 games drew over 2,000 people. Also I have to query your statement that North have been barely holding their midtable position. After their disastrous 1 and 4 start they have won...

Glenelg may have bettered their start to the 1981 season but at this stage they are only level with their start to the 1969 season, where they won their first 11 games in a row, before succumbing to Torrens. Torrens then went onto win their last 10 minor round games but incredibly neither team...

I know Neil Balme said that Port scored 3-1 but a Port player I know who played in the game said Norwood scored 3-1 and sewed up the game. I can remember seeing the cutting at the time from the Adelaide News but I don't remember any mention of the score. I can't find a copy of the video of the...

Didn't see too many players on the ground in the 2018 Grand Final. Unlike Norwood in the 1982 Second Semi Final, North having 19 players on the ground whilst 2 behinds were scored had no affect on the overall result of the 2018 Preliminary Final. Never get the truth get in the way of a good...

I hope you don't mind me intruding but I remember Keith Baker playing for Port as a rover. He played in the 1972 Grand Final in that position. Port ran 3 rovers in that game, Cunningham, Grimwood and Baker and for a time early in the game had the much vaunted North defence at sixes and sevens...

Connor Rozee drafted by Port Adelaide Robbie Young drafted by St Kilda Boyd Woodcock drafted by Port Adelaide Wilkie Jordan Sweet rookied by the Western Bulldogs As I said before all 5 played in the winning Grand Final side so they all have experienced playing and succeeding in front of 40,000+...

As an avid North Adelaide supporter I saw all of Robbie Young's games this year and I concur with many of the statements about his pace and ability to run down players. I am surprised that someone queried his disposal. It generally was very good this year for North and he kicked a number of...

I am a passionate North Adelaide supporter and have seen all of Callum Wilkie's SANFL senior games. He won the North Adelaide best and fairest award in this year's premiership team. He is a very good intercept mark and an excellent left foot kick. I am not saying he is anywhere near as good but...

And of course the Crystal Brook Roosters provided a North Adelaide Premiership player in both the league and reserves in Jake Wohling and Brayden Kirk. Wohling joins the late Ron Hewett and the late Maurie Arbon as NAFC league premiership players from the Brook.

Not correct. North, despite a dreadful on field season last year made a $300,000 profit.
