The key to being an informed SANFL follower right there!

For me... amazing to think Whittlesea ended the drought of 1961-1988... a bit of a gap to Atkinson in 1997, but then they've won in 1997, 1999, 2000, 2002 (two winners), 2008, 2014, 2016... so that's what, 8 medals in 20 years.

Congrats Zane.

He's a Good old pooraka boy !!!

Hopefully a Grand Final appearance as well to continue the trend.

What was this thing last night in the interview with s williams about throwing a wall mounted phone and hitting a poor old Eagles supporter. Sounds like a real wimpish act by him. Was he sanctioned, did the poor old supporter get an apology. Russell Crowe received a hell of a lot of angst for throwing a piddly little mobile phone at a hotel porter plus a huge fine. Seems that nothing was made of this disgraceful act.

Is your head still hurting?

I sympathise with Williams on this one. There's nothing worse than being put on hold up in the coaches box.

Just on the SANFL website. The R.O.Shearman medal voted for by the coaches. The actual Magerey Medallist not in the top 11

Re the phone throwing exercise, I witnessed this assault and the poor victim was left dazed and bleeding and never got an apology. All he was doing was singing ''seven in a row, seven in a row''...he still walks around saying ''Its for you."

I think seven losses in a row was a new record at the time...mind you it was a very accurate throw.

At least the Umpires support the "NO AFL in the SANFL" - no Ravens players get a vote v Eagles, despite a 43 pt win & player kicking 6 Goals.
Well Done!

John Casey nearly choked on his cuppa tea

Well done to Kirkwood.

Thought Brenton Phillips speech for his hall of fame induction was fantastic. Clearly very passionate about the SANFL.

A new definition of 'mobile' phone that day. If I remember correctly, it made Channel 10 news that evening and was in the Sunday Mail and Advertiser Monday. 7 losses in a row for the then Port Magpies was a record and no doubt Williams was none too happy to hold it.
