    SANFL vs. VFL 2024 -- State Match Wrap-Up

    Hi Footy fans... Not since the 1990's has there been more than one interstate match. In fact, since 2018 it has been just two football powers going at it. So while the Gather Round has brought state league football to a standstill, it has presented the opportunity for the SANFL's best...

    Hi Footy fans... It has been over 180 days since we watched the Tigers put some old demons to the sword, finally topping the Blues in a Grand Final and securing their sixth league title last September. That premiership defence began this past weekend as the 2024 SANFL Premiership Season got...

    Portfolio AFL City Edition Jumpers

    I thought that the bars would be the go-to. But if they had to incorporate teal as well, couldn't that signify the water below the pylons? Perhaps a gradual transition of colour part-way down the bars? Love the second one BTW. In fact, these concepts are mint.

    Discussion Buying State rep jumpers

    In the mid to late 2000's, a store in SA called The First Bounce got Sekem merch, which included SANFL guernseys. I was able to secure two state jumpers. Those were signed by the teams of 2006 and 2008. Years later I got my hands on a back up guernsey from the 2012 game and have worn it to games...

    Hi Footy fans... What a hot weekend we just had here. Its usually around this time of year that there's some spanners thrown around and quite often, an engine ends up being stalled as a result. Some will say that they'd rather have one little brain fade, one last loss on the board, that end of...

    Hi Footy fans... We're now coming up to the final few weeks of the 2023 premiership season and we're in for an interesting finish to the minor round. Before that can happen though, there's one last seasonal break for the league, which for some teams is a good thing, to work on some tactics that...

    My latest buy, a Woodville-West Torrens guernsey commemorating the 30th anniversary of the 1993 SANFL premiership victory. There were only enough made for the team, so they are indeed a limited run. Would have been issued to Daniel Menzel if he stuck around at the club.

    Hi Footy fans... This past weekend over the border in Victoria, state league football was in the news for all the wrong reasons.

    SANFL 2023 -- Round 13 Wrap-Up

    Hi Footy fans... Back in 1990, a schism occurred in South Australian football which would change the landscape of the SANFL forever. It started with the shock report of Port Adelaide's intention to break from the league and join the AFL, which subsequently was thwarted by the SANFL and led to...

    SANFL 2023 -- Round 9 Wrap-Up

    Hi Footy fans... This round of games represented the half-way point of the season and up on top before a ball was kicked in anger were the Blues, seemingly untouchable at the top of the league ladder. Below them looming quite large are the Tigers, which would result in a very tasty looking...
