Norwood vs Claremont

[CENTURION]

In fact, I'll do it for you.

Jackson Baldwin, Tim Boyd, Brock Castree, Matthew Claughton, Sam Colquhoun, Adam Cullen, Ben Cummings, Thomas Dunne, Caleb Edmead, Sam Hanna, David Haydon, Dallas Hill, Damian Hynes, James Lawton, Jake Martin, Jay Nash, Ben Nason, Chad O'Sullivan, Matthew Prior, Corey Reichert, Travis Schiller, Jason Sutherland, Josh Vater, Matthew Westhoff, Josh Wilson & Josh Wittwer.

so, where are all these discarded AFL players? Where are all these league players who were dropped back for the Grand Final?

Claremont has 2 straight WAFL flags, off 3 straight minor premierships.

They have balanced this with Foxtel Cup championship this year, runners up last year.


If your comparison of any state league club is over the last 3 years then Claremont is clearly in front.

Norwood & Port Melbourne with 1 flag and a runners up would be the next in line.


If not Claremont ... who?

The SANFL is a great league and undoubtedly the toughest outside the AFL..... but never forget that it is a big importer of talent compared to the VFL & WAFL & that its draft output is reduced in comparison.

Of Claremont's premiership team only 3 were from outside WA; Byron Schammer, Nicholas Suban & Mitchell Andrews. How many SANFL clubs have this much local content.

haha it seems like my comments have stirred up a few centrals supporters. I love it!! Tell me why are you's so sensitive about the issue if what I said was rubbish? Ok since you's are so insistent on pressing the issue here's some names for you, O'Sullivan, Sutherland, Boyd, Nason, Westhoff. yeah i'm sure u can justify it in terms of how many league and reserves games they play. But look at the lists and compare it to Norwood's who had basically all kids playing for them on the day. The only Norwood players on that list with league experience were guys that were forced to be called up due to the horrendous injury toll. They are not exactly seasoned veterans.

By the way if you read the thread carefully you will see that my comment about AFL discards was not aimed at centrals. It was in a response to a comment on page 1 of this thread that said WAFL teams do not have the recuting resources of SANFL clubs and rely more on developing their players. I was trying to say that recruits or AFL discards are only account for a small percentage of norwood's list and their success is based primarly upon the development of their juniors. My comment had nothing to do with centrals. So go and read before yuo get your knickers in a twist.

[CENTURION]

and all I'm saying is We didn't just drop these players back from the league side, so they could play in the reserves grand final, they were there because they were either coming back from injuries, or because they deserved to be there.

Ha ha, the Boyd you speak of is James' brother Tim. He has not played League footy...

If you read my comment I didn't say your comment had anything to do necessarily specifically with Centrals. I said I don't think "any teams" success. - so go and read before you get your knickers in a twist. Of the players that played Nason and Westhoff have been on AFL lists, both probably played about two or three league games this year. You did get a "bite" because your posts seem to lack in knowledge. I'm assuming when you list "Boyd" above you thought it was James Boyd not Tim Boyd? Tim Boyd hasn't played a league game for us.

Boyd has not played any league games for us so I'm not sure why you've listed him??

What about them? They all played a majority of games this year in the reserves, being unable to break into the league team.

What about them? For whatever reason (mostly a reflection of the Dogs injury list throughout the year) they weren't selected in the League team and had played enough Ressies footy to qualify .. Really not sure what your beef is with this??

If you read the thread carefully, I was responding to your claim that the reserves side was stacked. Yes, your club has a lot of depth but you claimed that your side was beaten in reserves GF by a stacked side. You didn't say it was beaten by a side with experienced players.

As for the AFL recruting, I couldn't give a flying Gilbert McAdam about your thoughts on the AFL and the number of players recruited from Norwood.

[Dogwatcher]

PLF is a case in point that passion should not be mistaken for intelligence.

Why would anyone worry about a Reserves premiership in a year when your club has broken a 15 year premiership drought?

I'd like to say just quietly but this reserves flag has generated more discussion than any other than I can recall in safooty history (the breathless victory thread was certainly most amusing). Typical Central blowhards.

At least it fits in with this Norwood vs Central thread....

I agree! Let Centrals have their reserves glory. All i know is that the chimney is now red and blue.

Personally im grateful for the fact that you managed to join SAfooty in early september to share your joy of winning a premiership for the first time in 15 years!
