The top 4 will be set and it’s down to Norwood and North for the last spot. Might come down to North v Norwood at Prospect in the final roundam Bays wrote:With 8 games to go after this weekend, if Port beat Sturt will the final five be set?
Port and Norwood will be two ahead of North.
Makes the following week at Prospect an absolute must win for North against Port

Off course they have but they don't care because there existence is purely to be puppet masters to the AFL in an attempt to enhance their potential careers.
Why wouldn't you try and create a celebration of SANFL football. Spend the week pumping up the history of the game, maybe make the round $2 day or something similar. Maybe even consider having all four games at Adelaide Oval like a 12 hour extravaganza of local footy. If it was at AO maybe do a car parade of all the living Magarey medalists, maybe have all the teams in their most famous colours, dogs in the white guernsey, north in the candy stripes, Glenelg with the yellow short, port in the pink.
Do anything but only have 2 games on that weekend.

But they’ll happily put 4 games on Good Friday & none on Easter Saturday & then schedule 2 games on Mother’s Day when they should’ve all been played the day before. Farcical.

Yeah right..."In the Eagles raffle here", that the bloke? Yep, a sound at SANFL games I've heard forever. Used to get dragged along to games at Thebby as a kid, was a fixture there iirc.

You may well be right. He was certainly selling footy budgets and records during the 2019 season.
He wasn't well enough to go to Adelaide Oval for last year's Grand Final, but he did watch it at the Eagles club with his wife, who also is a passionate Eagles supporter. As much as I, of course, wanted the Roosters to win I was very pleased that Aussie was able to see the Eagles take the flag. He was suffering both with his own health and with other personal traumas at the time.
On a personal note, I have known him since 1978, and he has always been a "character" with a clever wit and a good work ethic. He not only worked long and hard for West Torrens and then the merged entity but he was also a hard worker for charities all of his life. I met him when he was 21 whilst he was doing charity work and we have remained friends ever since.
I was saddened that he passed away last Saturday morning prior to the Eagles thrashing Port. He would have enjoyed that result more than almost anything in life
