hi spelly, i noticed when visiting wafl websites that there is a link where there is a complete season by season results page. is there anything similar for sanfl records?

Not that I know of. That website I think was independent from the WAFL, but they took them on board when it comes to viewing results past and present. It is much better presented than the SANFL equivalent - both in viewing the stats and results. The WAFL website has also more in depth history stats such as youngest and oldest players and every state match WA has been involved in along with each team.

That wafl.com.au site is great for the most part, however there still are some discrepancies throughout. For instance, some match scores are incorrect (most likely because they've copied their data from misprinted newspapers), and in some instances the dates of matches are wildly incorrect.

This is because in the 30s through to the 50s, there would most likely be a match in the weekend preceding Round 1 between two teams who would generally go on a mid-season tour. These tours normally coincided with the State Carnival, so the team could take three weeks off and not actually miss any league games. In these instances, the match is appearing on the website under the round in which the match would have occurred (i.e Round 14), however the date given to the game is the same as every other in that round, NOT the week before the start of the season proper.

Yes, I have noticed some differences trawling through the online newspaper archives, but it is still better than what scores are out there online for the SANFL. And I think for the recent scorelines, it's better to have an independent looking presentation, than have the amateur looking Sporting Pulse do it. All of the players stats accompany the scores; instead on the SANFL website, you go to two different sections to see the scores and stats.

Yeah - not a fan of that Sporting Pulse Website.

Always thought that someone with enough time on their hands and programming ability could come up with the most kick-ass Aussie Rules website in terms of history.

Home page is a map of Australia with the competition logos within each state - clicking whichever you want would take you through to that league and you could view match details, goal scorers etc from which ever game you wanted. And if someone had REALLLLLY large amounts of time, they could even link to articles about the game, video (if available) and more.

I don't think I'm that person though!

That would be awesome, but ideally you would need several, probably 20 nation wide that were super keen and co-operated well.
