Thank you CK!

Was wondering what it was because Pfieffer was a Crow and a Blue during his career, wasn't he?
Wondered if he was any hope of a mature age recruit in these "compromised" times...

[CENTURION]

the beauty of his **** up is I dont have to bang on about it, everyone saw it and what it cost

no, the whole side lost the Grand Final. So, Dutchy, tell us all, what do you have against Sansbury?

Sorry to interrupt the discussion - Media Park, the Woods Medal is for outstanding leadership and service to the club.

To elaborate further, it was first struck in 1988 in honour of John J Woods who was a long serving member of the Norwood Football, serving as Secretary, Coach and player for many years. The award is given to the player deemed to have made the greatest contribution to the club both on and off the field. Justin Scanlon was the inaugural winner having been third in the B&F as well as serving the Board as Players Representative.

No doubt Woods Street was named after him?

Cheers AH... Does this mean Pfeiffer acheived something off the field worthy of comment? It sounds prestigious, and I thought he had a party reputation when he was on the AFL...?

The award simply says just being able to kick and catch a footy isn't enough, you need to work off the field just as hard as you do on it.

Pfeiffer has been a wonderful acquisition to Norwood this season in terms of off-field leadership as well as playing some very handy football. He's one of the many young men in football who couldn't handle the responsibility early on, then mature into their roles. Most are able to do this whereas some never learn.

There's talk of him being a mature age pick up in the AFL draft, ala Lower, Puopolo, Duigan, Phillips, etc. My only comment there is Darren possibly doesn't one grab the footy as often as he would need to at AFL level, but there's no questioning his work rate.

[Adelaide Hawk]

No doubt Woods Street was named after him?

Yes, it was once called Florence Street, but renamed in 1943 (I think) to Woods Street, after J.J.Woods.

[Media Park]

Good summary, AH! Cheers!
