Really surprised Kade Dittmar didnt finish higher in the B& F thought over the season he was our most consistent player

Dittmar had a great year. Don't forget he was out injured mid season.

Gazzamagoo mustve been a hold up with recruits that were going to be named today

[gazzamagoo]

Patience young Skywalker.

I wouldn't expect a huge influx of recruits this year too,
apparently we're after just a few select key position recruits & are aiming for quality, not quantity.
Less recruits might give us more money in the kitty to pay our top players as well.

Can’t do that I’m afraid.

The deal negotiated with the two AFL clubs sees the salary cap go down from $360k to $290k.

Crazy shiz, we can't recruit as many players anymore PLUS we get our best players taken from us.
Again, what's in this for the SANFL??

[DOC]

Absolutely nothing, huh, say it again.

Allegedly Koch gets what he wants Port Adelaide winning sanfl flag after flag after flag after flag

What was the criteria for our first Hall of Fame inductees
and who got in last night .

[northerner]

Great night at Goodman Rd with the inaugural Hall Of Fame inductees announced to a packed and receptive crowd
20 initial inductees selected by a group of about 8 chaired by Tom Zorich.
Sodas was emcee.
Two of the 20 were announced as legends... John Platten and founder Norm Russell. Norm was one of a few awarded posthumously
Others were Tony Casserly, Peter Beythein and Bob Zerella.
The twins and Gary Window brought the house down with their comedy routines whilst it was soooo great to see Daryl Hicks accept his nomination with Theresa. Alan Stewart showed he had one more motivational gem left in him and Matt Slade proved he could get a gig as a speaker.
Other winners were Peter Jonas, Roy Laird, Roger Girdham, Kris Grant, Paul Thomas, Dean Mobbs, Peter Vivian, Robin Mulholland and the nicest guy to ever play football Sonny Morey, all who were there and had responded.
Interested to see Tex Walker as a guest, I am sure he would have been as impressed as the rest of us at how the night played out.

[DOC]

What is the connection with Tex?

Concur about Soney. Had professional dealings with him after football had finished anda nicer man you would not meet.

Looked a great night from the names coming through on social media - some icons amongst those.

I saw Tex in some pics with Alan Stewart - he may have been a guest of his from his time at the Crows?

Yeah looked like a great night and well done by the club.

Always tough to create these Hall of Fames 60 years into an existence and saw a bit of debate on who was in/out but thought the club got it pretty spot on.

Was always going to be tough on how to judge the 'old legends' vs the golden era legends. How do you compare someone like Daniel Schell with 7 premierships, Ken Farmer Medalist vs some of those older players who were success starved. Yves with 7 premierships as well.

I didn't see Daniel Healy's name, maybe thought he was a bit of an omission but 5 premierships including some as a captain. Maybe will be added in time to come.

Will clarify, all those in deserved to be in.....no question. More a question of how many can you put in.

I Agree, I was surprised Daniel Healy the clubs first premiership captain wasn't named.

But watch this space as I'm sure it cant be too long until he is.

Danny Hulm first premiership captain. I'm sure the likes of Hulm, Healy. McAdam and Duckworth will be in over coming years.

[gazzamagoo]

McCormack leaving to return to Melbourne for work sounded like bad news at first but we've recruited 2 big blokes who can hopefully fill his shoes,
We wouldn't have seen Big Billy play until at least middle of the year anyway, still recovering from the injury.
Another exciting recruit to be announced soon, I'm led to believe that there could still be a couple more.

[Big Phil]

I Agree, I was surprised Daniel Healy the clubs first premiership captain wasn't named (in Dogs HOF).

Chris Gowans came in to work today and we chatted about some of the inductees not selected in the first 20, including Heals.

Chris mentioned that Daniel was on the selection committee and didn't feel it appropriate to be one of the first lot inducted.

I suspect he will be one of the first lot included in the next round of inductees in a couple of years time.

Thats more than fair enough.

Will be interesting to see the inductees over the next ten years.

You could pretty much put every multiple premiership winner of the golden era in there, but where do they sit ahead of the current crop of players etc.

I would love to see Brad Currie in there.
