South Adelaide - more adaptable to change than a virus

Postby Harry the Horse » Thu May 01, 2014 11:07 am

1964 - 2 new teams admitted to competition, South win their last flag.
1991 - 2 teams merge for a 9-team comp as League is turned on its head with the birth of the Crows. South win their last minor premiership before going out in straight sets.
2014 - 2 reserves teams infiltrate the comp which blows back out to 10 teams. South start 4-0.

I reckon a Port Reserves v South Adelaide Grand Final would be fantastic. :D

South being most people's "2nd Team" (ala Woodville in '86) & one of the "No Voters" would draw many 'neutrals' to Adelaide Oval, wouldn't they?
PAP Reserves would also get plenty.

We could see 40K @ the GF again & standing room @ the footy on the Hill.

Yep, all good...

nice to be winning a few...but..as someone who has supported South since its last flag..(yes Im that old) .. its far too early to get excited yet.
Fifty years of being smacked around the ears tends to dull once sense of anticipation when it comes to South Adelaide.
Too many times we've seen our season implode for one reason or another over the decades, so I for one, and plenty of others will be keeping our powder dry for a while yet.

no. The reason they may draw people is cos people feel sorry for them.

I for one, despite my best mate barracking for them and proclaiming them as premiers each and every season, would love to see them win one in my life time. That'd be the only reason I'd go. But even then, it's unlikely.

Have only beaten 1 side in the 5 (North), between the other 3 (West, Glenelg and Central), they've only won 2 games between them in 4 rounds.

A good start to the season? ... Absolutely

World beaters yet? ... I don't think so

Surely whoever won the flag in 91 was the most adaptable. ;)

But having said that I am a South member too. Go Panthers! :D
