Cup names for future SANFL v. VFL games...

[raboyle]

Okay...now that the recent State League match has been and gone, I have come to the conclusion that the name on the trophy--The Advertiser Cup-- has no real significant meaning...its just a sponsor thing.

Now that the AFL State of Origin thing may not be back for a while, the Malcolm Blight Cup is going to stay in Victoria. We need to have the future games between the Leagues of SA and Victoria have a cup with the names of true SANFL and VFA/VFL legends.

I'm thinking these names for the SA legends...

1. Barrie Robran, the North Adelaide legend
2. Michael Aish, the Norwood man
3. Russell Ebert, the man of Port Adelaide

I prefer Robran myself because he devoted all his energies to the SANFL. Russell Ebert is pretty good too, and so is Aish cause he never left SANFL footy either.

Now all we need is a name from the VFA/VFL legends list.
Can all you VFL locals name some for the list?

If you do have some, make sure you list his credentials, you know...his club, games and years in league.

Thanks!

How about Peter Carey then? Played a record 467 (or so) games for Glenelg and SA; attracted some interest from VFL clubs but stayed in SA.

(Yeah I know - I'm biased)

It should be the Kerley-Whitten Cup.

These guys did most for State Footy.

SA v WA should be the Les Fong/Robbie Walter cup

Peter Carey...hmmm. Sounds like a good one. Thanks, Uncle Steve.

Santos...I think the Haydn Bunton Jnr. Cup is still around, but who are the two men (Les Fong/Robbie Walter) on your idea of a SA v. WA trophy? Cause I only know so much about local footy.

And Jars458...Kerley is a good one, but Whitten was a VFL/AFL man. I'm looking for some inspiration from the ranks of clubs like Coburg, Port Melbourne, Sandringham etc. VFA/VFL club legends.

Anyone from Victoria who knows a lot about their local footy in the now-VFL or the old-VFA please respond to this post.

Thanks for your attention and valued replies.

Come on...surely there is somebody from the VFA/VFL that has some good status in Victoria? Or are future SA v. VFL cups just going to be named after a newspaper?

I can't believe I'm about to say this but I agree with Jars on the name.

They both did a lot for State Footy and would have to be two of the best.

It would also represent the interstate rivalry that was help made stronger by these two.

Finally after 450+ posts of absolute crap, he says something intelligent!
