[Stevie_K]

Respect where it is due, congratulations to the great man. Well done Super!

" Super " is well.........super ! Any supporter of any club would applaud this mans efforts, dedication and loyalty to his club and his team mates. A true Football champion.

For the uneducated, how many SA players have already been inducted ?

Absentee's ( from me seeing them play )

Michael Aish, Paul Bagshaw, Graham Cornes, Michael Graham, Rick Davies, Dean Mobbs etc etc etc

I'm not sure about Dean Mobbs but the others seem like reasonable candidates.

Personally i would hope/expect that Aish would be the next player inducted.

I supose the point I'm making is that every SANFL club ( WAFL too ) have had long serving, talented players that didn't play VFL and should be acknowledged. Funnily enough, the announcement of Super and other SA footballers had attracted attention here in Melbourne over the last couple of days with friends calling me up asking who the f*** they were

[whufc]

what would the chance of someone who was to play 300 games and had a great career in the current SANFL making this hall of fame. Just a question i don't know much about this hall of fame bizzo.

hahah!

Yeah it is.

Well done to Super, should have been there years ago!

I think that Davies, Aish, McIntosh, Cornes, Bagshaw should be the next SA contingency

I don't think too many people could argue with any of those names, all would be more than worthy.
They should also delve back into the history books more too so greats of the past like Tom Leahy get a gig but I can't see that ever happening.

well done super! out of curiousity, at what age did he retire?

IIRC, he was about 37...

[drebin]

Did Hayden Bunton (SNR) play in SA. I thought he was a WAFL and VFL player only? Cue Spelly or Leaping for an answer on that. Bunton Jr is a different story though as we know!

[Magpiespower]

Did Hayden Bunton (SNR) play in SA.

Played for Port in 1945.

16 games and 30-odd goals.

[Wedgie]

I think he coached North for a couple of years just before the golden Farmer coaching era.

I think he coached North for a couple of years just before the golden Farmer coaching era.

And was an SANFL league umpire before that...
