I don't think the difference between VFL and SANFL (in the 80s) is as big as you think. That's all.
Having moved to Adelaide in the mid 1980s it was way more suburban football level. And since the Crows and then Power even more so.
There were very few State of Origin games the Vics took seriously. VFL coaches routinely stopped their best players from being released to play.
I remember Aish and McIntosh because I supported Norwood and went to many games. Very good footballers but absolutely a rung below VFL. No way better than Russell Greene who was mentioned earlier as someone who deserves to be in.
