One obvious person missed, as Rucci pointed out in today's paper...

Geoff Motley...

Presumably the new Southern Stand will still be known as The Bradman Stand. Then I guess they'll name the Western Stand after 5 cricketers as they have done the Eastern Stand with the footballers? Statues of cricketers to join Gillespie and Lehmann will be George Giffen and Clem Hill.

Would guess Ian & Greg Chappell, Les Favell, Victor Richardson, David Hookes, Clarrie Grimmett would all be acknowledged in some way as well as some others.

I thought it might be appropriate to name a bar after Grenville Dietrich

John Olson rang a member of the Morialty family to announce that they would like to name a bar after Dan Morialty. Upon pointing out that he was a teatotaller and thus this would be innapropriate, he suggested perhaps a BBQ area. Will there be drinking there? Umm, Yes. See answer to question 1.

So they named the BBQ area after Graham Cornes. Was he really a premier of this state?

How Leigh Whicker who didnt even want to go to Adelaide Oval can get named ahead of Geoff Motley who won 9 Premierships PLAYING at Adelaide Oval is staggering!

How Leigh Whicker has managed to hold down a job that involved reading and writing is staggering.

It's been another class performance from the commission.

The "Olsen Outhouse" or just simply the "John"
The "Honest Joe Urinal" or "Tripodi Toilet" has a nice sound to it

Agreed, but on that note there should also be something named after Chris and James Gowans - 18 Premierships between them, a world record for twins I would think!

Cheers

At least they've actually played at Adelaide Oval.

Leigh Whicker having a dining room named after him is ironic seeing it is his company that won the catering contract for AO! No insider trader "nepotism" there!

What a bunch of fools and crooks!
