SA Footy

Hello Spell Check how are you?

I read with interest thismorning that on Saturday Sturt lost consecutive games by 100 points for the first time in their history. As a north fan I like to compare the two 13 premiership clubs. Not a lot splits them apart from the obvious fact North have reached 6 more grand finals. I dare say North have lost consecutive games by 100 points at least once in their history.

How about the other clubs how many times has it happened?

I'm doing ok, thanks.

There have been 297 matches in which the margin was 100 points or more.

Sturt have conceded 30 of them. North have conceded 39.

The table of 100 point losses is this:

Eagles - 3
Port - 6
Norwood - 11
Central - 21
West - 22
Glenelg - 27
Sturt - 30
Torrens - 33
North - 39
Woodville - 52
South - 53
Total 297




These are the occasions in which a team has lost by 100 points or more three times in a row:

North - 126pts vs Port R 15 1975, 104pts vs Glenelg R 16 1975, 109pts vs Sturt R 17 1975
Torrens - 128pts vs Sturt R 20 1982, 120pts vs North R 21 1982, 122pts vs Central R 22 1982
Woodville - 127pts vs South R 6 1982, 133pts vs Glenelg R 7 1982, 116pts vs Port R 8 1982

These are the occasions in which a team has lost by 100 points or more twice in a row:

Glenelg - 104pts vs Port R 15 1937, 101pts vs Norwood R 16 1937
Glenelg - 101pts vs Central R 13 1994, 132pts vs Port R 14 1994
North - 109pts vs Norwood R 21 1974, 114pts vs Sturt R 22 1974
North - 106pts vs Port R 3 2001, 127pts vs Sturt R 4 2001
North - 110pts vs Central R 10 2003, 124pts vs West R 11 2003
South - 113pts vs Norwood R 11 1962, 138pts vs West R 12 1962
South - 102pts vs Torrens R 19 1987, 133pts vs North R 20 1987
Torrens - 136pts vs Sturt R 18 1976, 145pts vs Glenelg R 19 1976
Torrens - 112pts vs Norwood R 7 1982, 136pts vs West R 8 1982
Torrens - 103pts vs West R 13 1983, 133pts vs Sturt R 14 1983
Torrens - 117pts vs Woodville R 15 1985, 129pts vs Sturt R 16 1985
West - 110pts vs South R 15 1936, 101pts vs Sturt 101pts vs Sturt R 16 1936
West - 116pts vs Norwood R 4 1974, 131pts vs Glenelg R 5 1974
West - 135pts vs North R 14 1990, 108pts vs Port R 15 1990
Woodville - 135pts vs Sturt R 1 1971, 127pts vs North R 2 1971
Woodville - 106pts vs West R 8 1977, 134pts vs Port R 9 1977
Woodville - 113pts vs Sturt R 2 1980, 161pts vs Port R 3 1980

superb. Thanks for that. Incredibly quick response time well done.

Wow, well done spelly.

Interesting that this is the first time it has happened to Sturt - I thought it would have happened during their wooden spoon era of the early 90's.

What went wrong to the North Adelaide of 1975??
to loose by that margin 3 week in a row supporters would be causing physical harm to themsleves


imagine if the internet existed back then the roost would have imploded with all the posters refusing to post as they were too ashamed to be seen or heard of publicly

Only 3 years after we became "World Champions" too!

that is what i am getting at Marty how could it all go down hill so quickly?

I'm not sure, it does happen though. Sturt were premiers 4 years ago, West were grand finalists 3 years ago and now both are struggling to win games, and sturt are coming off back to back 100 point losses.

good point but the Double Blues have struggled with cash which has affected recruiting and West have been cleaned out by the draft for several years and recruiting mistakes with interstaters

Im not so sure that major cash flow problems would have existed in the 70s with no AFL comp to speak of. But given that established league players would have left to try their luck in the VFL.



Going from Champions of the land to 100 pt beltings in 3 years?? i suppose it could happen but out of interest where did north finish in 75?

5th.

Barrie Robran did his knee in 1974. Fair player to lose from your side.

5th by luck - a terrible year on the field overall but still made the elimination final and played like crap that day too - thankfully as badly as we kicked - Port was worse but still towelled us up!

Like the 89 GF. All though we played crap in 2004 GF.

North Adelaide had many good players in its 71/72 team and B Robran was obviously the icing on the cake. North started to struggle in early 74 as a lot of the 71/72 team started leaving (internal strife?) - Robran was carrying North in 74 until he then got hurt mid season - North then fell apart badly for the rest of 74. Mike Patterson in 75 had a lot of new players with some 71/72 veterans - they made the 75 finals series simply because they weren't as bad as West,South,Central,Torrens & Woodville that year. 1975 was the season where the gap between Sturt,Port,Glenelg & Norwood and the other 6 teams was awesome - hence the decision by the then NFL to create the 1976 national comp where the SA Big Four took on 5 Vic & 3 WA teams - to deflect attention away from how bad the lower 6 SANFL teams were...The 1977 SANFL State Team that played in the special Centenary of SA Football match against WA chose players from just the Big Four clubs (and lost...)

Spelly,

Could you please put up the reverse stat. ie the ladder of 100 point wins.

cheers

The Francou brothers, Adrian Rebbeck, Barry Hearl, The Sachse brothers, Bohdan Jaworskyj, Terry Von Bertouch, John Spry, Geoff Strang, Daryl Webb, Geoff Paull, John Phillips, Bob Hammond, to name a few had all left the club between 1972 and 1975. That was on top of Barrie doing his knee in 74.

thats a fair list of players to loose inside 3 years i can now see why it all went down hill still a good effort to cop 3 hidings in the one season and finish 5th
