Three years after finishing playing to be eligible also isn't long enough - somewhere around six or seven years would be better.

Cornes was playing last year wasnt he?
Seems a little too soon to get something like this, should be atleast 6-7 years out of the game

If a young South Australian who excels as a junior is drafted at No 1 and plays for Brisbane wins 3 premierships, 2 brownlows and 5 best and fairests can't get in this hall of fame
I see what you mean, with the SA Football Hall of Fame being so overclogged with late draft picks to SA AFL clubs who then squeezed out mediocre AFL careers. You can't get anywhere near the Hall of Fame bar for those guys. And when they're not sucking back heavily subsidised piss, they're endlessly complaining about how Paul Rouvray's invitation somehow got lost.Wedgie wrote:than why can a not so exceptional South Australian who gets drafted at 57 by the Power or Crows, do a lot less, and be eligible for it?
if there's one thing I can't stand, it's the randomness of life. Why should the luck of the draw disadvantage talented kids who've been born in SA, depending on things they can't control like which parent takes them to live somewhere else? This is why I hope I can count on you to second my nomination of Adam Goodes to the South Australian Football Hall of Fame.Wedgie wrote:The criteria for a lot of the awards is based solely on the luck of the draw disadadvantaging players depending on which team picks them up.
Stupid IMHO.

Hard to make a case that a bloke who makes a massive contribution to a non SA club has helped football here significantly. Football, like life in general, is rarely fair. Plenty of blokes worked harder and wanted it more but just lacked talent, happened to be better at a different sport or just simply chose to pursue a different career. This isn't about being fair, this is about reality.
