SANFL Players who have played state/district cricket

[Rushby Hinds]

I'm sure that i remember Paul Nobes playing a few games of magoos for North in the 80's, i remember watching him on TV when the magoos were on live. But Dragonfly says I am dreaming, he's a big Rooster and cricket fan so would be more likely to be correct.


I seem to recall that Nobes was good mates with Jars?

He is good mates with Jars and yes he did play ressies for North.

Hooray!

[McAlmanac]

We have missed out Bob Simunsen - Woodville centreman, Magarey Medal runner-up, two-time Reserves Magarey Medallist, State representative, SANFL Hall of Famer and 4 first class matches as a left hand batsman for South Australia in 1972/73 at the age of 31 (after retiring from football).

Toby Viney and Brendan Mckeough currently playing at Southern Districts. Both played league football at South Adelaide.

SANFL League umpire
Played in Woodville's first A grade district cricket premiership team in 1965-66

How appropriate, seeing the Peckers have finally gone top again.

[Ebert, Evans & Me]

Greg Quinn (Bob's son) played reserves for Port and A grade cricket as a wicket keeper.

An obvious one that is missing is the current Collingwood captain Scott Burns. Think he played a couple of years of A's at East Torrens.

Someone senior in the Melbourne security industry told me it was very easy to have a "run in" with DH, and that everyone in the industry predicted it was going to blow up sometime, although no one expected quite such a serious end result..

Ernie Jones from South, North and Port. He was the one who bowled a ball at W G Grace's beard and said " sorry Doctor, she slipped." When you add in Gehrs, Clem Hill and Reedman it seems South could have almost had their own test team.
Alfred ' Bulla" Ryan from South played Shield Cricket with Bradman.

[Adelaide Hawk]

Simon Goodwin - former State U19 cricket captain, played with Sturt.
Ross Dillon - took a bag of 6 wickets in his first A grade game with Kensington.

John Halbert won the SA District cricketer of the year and the Magarey Medal in the same 12 months...

[Big Phil]

James Moss, a current Adelaide Crow rookie listed player (and of course a member of Central Districts Premiership side) has played Representative cricket at an under 19 level for South Australia.

In fact, the day he was rookie drafted to the Crows, I believe he was behind th stumps with the gloves on for SA in the National Championships down in Tasmania. A very talented sportsman allround is young James

[spell_check]

Don Robins (Sturt) played for SA; and took a double hat-trick in one match.

[McAlmanac]

John Halbert won the SA District cricketer of the year and the Magarey Medal in the same 12 months...

I believe he is the only player to play 200 matches in both League Football and A Grade District Cricket.

[redandblack]

Has John Pratt been mentioned yet?

[MagareyLegend]

Always looked good till he got out....

didn't we all?

[MagareyLegend]

David David - cranio-facial surgeon and 1966 District Cricketer of the Year (now Bradman Medal) playing for University.

He also played for Sturt Reserves in 1960 winning most reserves Magarey Medal Votes

[southern fan]

Kevin Griffiths from South Adelaide
