A Heritage Round in 2009

[spell_check]

I think what Mickyj means, is that (and Dogs fans can correct me here) is that the only other team that Central have a huge rivalry with is Port Adelaide. But Port will always be paired with Sturt, Norwood and Glenelg in this round. So in a rivalry round, we will always be paired with Central. Which is fair enough.

So choose the 90's as the decade to base it on (if you dont want to be paired with the Dogs again) and have CD v Port as the headline act, North v West (91gf), Norwood v WWT (93gf), and then one more game out of Sturt, South and the Bays, most likely Sturt v Glenelg (but possibly South v Glenelg).

Works out. I think Mark Naley said there was a bit of a rivalry between South and Glenelg when he returned from Carlton.

Been done to death IMHO already in the SANFL.

Before anyone shoots to me down I have been to every Heritage game played by the Eagles.The only jumper left for them to wear would be as the PORT NATIVES!!

What about the 1993-97 guernsey? I love that guernsey, and it hasn't been worn in a heritage concept yet.

I thought we wore it in one match

[Mickyj]

However, there are some quite laughable matches being played in this round between clubs that are not exactly fierce rivals from any era, other than to say they were paired up because Sturt, Norwood, Port, Glenelg were already matched up elsewhere and they need to complete the fixture with other matches.

Heritage Rounds should continue to be concentrated on particular eras, ie. if it was the 80's, perhaps you'd look at Glenelg vs. North or Glenelg vs Port...

Do they need to combine a heritage round with a particular decade from the past for a true rivalry round? Not many rivalries have existed since way back when and they've often changed over time.

Ie., based on the 60's you would have Port v Sturt as the main rivalry, but if you were looking at the 50's it would probably be Port v Westies.

In other words we will just see Centrals v Eagles in rivalry.

How you get that from what I wrote Im not sure

No, that was the 1991-92 guernsey.

I think there great good to see the old guernseys. I only saw the eagle’s v sturt this year when they played in the old Torrens guernsey and at Thebarton. Would like to see them in a Peckers number next year

I agree with you Micky, it needs a rest for a few years now. Rivalry round is another matter altogether, be good to continue those in some ways.
Centrals are out of guernsey to wear as well.

There is always that white one with the matching white socks...

If you're referring to the 80's guernsey, they wore that one last year against Glenelg.

Its probably should be mentioned that I would see "Heritage Round" as distinct from "Rivalry Round". Heritage round focusing on the Historical aspects of the club. Rivalry round as mentioned varying from the 50's, 60's, 70,s etc etc!

Agreed, I was just throwing out a suggestion (prob a crappy one) to roll the two into the same round.

If they have one, it would be a round where the Eagles (no offence) have the bye

Or Centrals (no offence) - est in this league in 1964, and the newest team (other than the merged Eagles), they could arguably be overlooked for a game in Heritage Round.

Personally, the SANFL is heritage round every week. A time we remember pre-AFL and rejoice that it is still going strong!

no offence but perhaps a round where PAM have a bye since they have not been around that long as well
