All so easy, commit Hari Kari.
There are only 2 types of football supporters those that are devoted to Norwood and those that wish they could

He said that the gap wasn't 10% or 20% like a lot of people assume but more like 1% to 2%. Once a player drops away and can't make the AFL (I'm talking about the players that have had a good 10 years or so) then they will probably only be ordinary players at SANFL level.

One of the most inaccurate and ill-informed comments I've ever seen on this forum

Yet Gaze and Heal were miles and miles behind Bogues in ability. Bogues could have retired from basketball for 5 years then made an NBL come back and lit the comp up like even Gaze and Heal couldn't. Gaze and Heal's NBA careers were limited to a few cameo minutes off the bench.

In one sentence you've managed to demonstrate the difference between NBA and NBL. Bogues was a very handy NBA player for a long time, similar to Eagleton in the AFL. Gaze and Heal were sensational NBL players, similar to the likes of Thomas and Allan in the SANFL. Yet Gaze and Heal were miles and miles behind Bogues in ability. Bogues could have retired from basketball for 5 years then made an NBL come back and lit the comp up like even Gaze and Heal couldn't. Gaze and Heal's NBA careers were limited to a few cameo minutes off the bench. There are many comps between NBA and NBL, none between AFL and SANFL. The best SANFL players and worst AFL players overlap. That doesn't happen with the NBA and NBL in normal circumstances. If Bogut comes to any NBL side, you might get an idea of just how far away from NBA our little national basketball comp really is.
