Does anyone have any interesting, weird, quirky and quite bizarre stats from any SANFL games and seasons?

For me, it's this.

In Round 9 2000, Central Districts defeated North Adelaide by 137 points (183-46.)
That same round, Woodville West Torrens played Glenelg.
The result, 137 points (167-30.)
 
Definitely one for the interesting, weird, quirky and quite bizarre category!:-

Adelaide (SANFL) for the last 2 weeks have had their games seriously impacted by power/light failures. The rd. 4 game against Glenelg officially ended up a draw when the lights went out 12 or so minutes into the last 1/4, with the scores level. Incredibly, the rd. 5 game vs. South Adelaide on Saturday night (at a different venue) couldn't be started as the lights weren't working. It was played on the Sunday.
 
Central Districts are the only team to have won premierships in the seniors, reserves and under 19s in the same season (2003).


Two teams have provided medallists in the Magarey Medal, Reserves Magarey Medal and Tomkins Medal (under 19s) in the same season.

In 1950 it was North Adelaide with Ian McKay (Magarey), Sim Barbary (Reserves Magarey) and Lloyd Weston (Tomkins).
In 1989 Central Districts provided Gilbert McAdam (Magarey), Phil Lounder (Reserves Magarey) and Paul Hicks (Tomkins).

Neil Hawke was an unbelievable talent...but of an Ablett-Fevola temperament.
 
One amazing SANFL stat I noticed is that no Woodville-West Torrens Eagles player has won a Magarey Medal since the merged club commenced in 1991. The last time a player from West Torrens or Woodville won this award was in 1972 by Woodville's Malcolm Blight, while Lindsay Head in 1963 was the last Magarey medal winner from West Torrens.
 
When was the last time Grand Final match-ups occurred between the SANFL teams? This is a list of the most recent occasions SANFL teams have played in the Grand Final. I wonder who will play this year?

2015 - West Adelaide v WWT Eagles
2014 - Norwood v Port Adelaide
2013 - Norwood v North Adelaide
2012 - Norwood v West Adelaide
2011 - WWT Eagles v Central Districts
2010 - Central Districts v Norwood
2009 - Central Districts v Sturt
2008 - Central Districts v Glenelg
2007 - Central Districts v North Adelaide
2003 - Central Districts v West Adelaide
1998 - Port Adelaide v Sturt
1996 - Port Adelaide v Central Districts
1994 - Port Adelaide v WWT Eagles
1993 - WWT Eagles v Norwood
1992 - Port Adelaide v Glenelg
1991 - North Adelaide v West Adelaide
1989 - Port Adelaide v North Adelaide
1986 - Glenelg v North Adelaide
1983 - West Adelaide v Sturt
1982 - Norwood v Glenelg
1979 - Port Adelaide v South Adelaide
1978 - Norwood v Sturt
1974 - Sturt v Glenelg
1962 - Port Adelaide v West Adelaide
1953 - West Torrens v Port Adelaide
1949 - North Adelaide v West Torrens
1948 - Norwood v West Torrens
1940 - Sturt v South Adelaide

Doubt it'd be North.
Yeah, they had some shockers (mid 2000s, mid 2010s)
But didnt they have 3 or 4 straight finals campaigns before their 1-17 season?
And they did make the GF in 07 and were alright around then.

Probably more likely Glenelg would be at the bottom than North.
But yeah, South would be a good guess.

but tbh - I have no clue on what it is.
Just guessing.
 
Have posted this elsewhere, so sorry if you've seen this before, but anyway between 1927-1935 each of the 8 teams in the SANFL won a flag

1927: West
1928: Port
1929: Norwood
1930-31: North
1932: Sturt
1933: Torrens
1934: Glenelg
1935: South

South would be my guess, Glenelg would be down there too, and despite 2015 I don't think West's average would be that great over the last 20 years

Just had a look for the 1996-2015 seasons (im guessing these 20 are the ones to use?)

1. Centrals 69.95% (276-2-118)
2. Woodville 62.12% (245-2-149)
3. Norwood 59.09% (233-2-161)
4. Sturt 52.40% (206-3-187)
5. Port 50.88% (200-3-193)
6. Adelaide 43.06% (15-1-20)
7. West 42.93% (169-2-225)
8. North 40.78% (159-5-232)
9. Glenelg 39.52% (153-7-236)
10. South 32.95% (126-9-261)

Does anyone know what Neil Hawke's playing weight & height were? Have seen video of him playing test cricket for the Aussies & piccies in his book "Bowled Over" - he looks about 6 foot 1/185cm or so. Strongly built.

Any old players cards etc with that detail?

HA! Found it!

https://news.google.com/newspapers?...AIBAJ&sjid=UuYDAAAAIBAJ&pg=4724,1773481&hl=en

Height: 6ft 1in
Weight: 14st 5lb

So approx

Height: 1.85m
Weight: 91kg

Google newspaper archive search is awesome!!!
 
In the AFL, the last Fitzroy player to retire was Chris Johnson, while the last player to retire from the Brisbane Bears was Daniel Bradshaw.

Does anyone know the last SANFL players to retire who played for the West Torrens Eagles and Woodville Warriors as single entries prior to the 1990 merger?
