Club Championship

[Mr66]

Anyone (read Spelly!) got the final standings?

[heater31]

Think it has been posted here somewhere

Centrals, North, Sturt are top 3 in order from memory

[Mr66]

Ta. Found it.
Sturt wins most games throughout all grades but doesn't take home Mr.Lewis.
Grrr..

[SDK]

We only play for one trophy !

[BPBRB]

Grrr..

Now who's fault is that? Let me have a wild guess:

The umpires, both AFL clubs refusing to release such in form super stars like Mattner, refusal by 5AA to take SP's calls so he now uses the name "Marty" , the spongy Adelaide Oval surface 'cause we gave up 3 home games to play there, ouwhe he rings in, failure to pay our GST bill, injuries but we do have depth, Not returning to Unley after the first 3 hat trick of spoons, our past 2 coaches in Phil Carman & Sticks Phillips etc etc etc

Seriously if any teams followers can find something to whinge about it will be Sturt!

Its the SANFL's fault for designing a system that favours the performance of the league team rather than the four teams each club has in competition

[CENTURION]

Why do you play footy? To play at the highest level, the league side is the only reason that the club exists.

[Wedgie]

Congratulations to the Dogs for winning the Stanley H Lewis, it shows you have depth and a good program running at the club.

[bulldogproud]

I think we know that Sturt supporters would be delighted if it was the other way round: if they had won the trophy but had less victories throughout the grades. Will they ever stop complaining?

Bays came 4th

Chill out Drebs

A generalization on your last sentence is harsh on those who are tryin to keep a level head - You clearly are not goin to agree with all posters as I am not. When I dont agree with somethin that a poster posts it doesnt mean that all involved or have a passion for that club agree with it !!!

End of rant !!!

What's the "if" for? You seem to be doing a pretty good of whinging about Sturt right here Drebin.

[Mickyj]

Perhaps a silly question but how many times does the club champion win the grandfinal.

[smac]

3 of the last 7 at a quick look, micky.

I didn't bother doing any more than that as I am sure someone with a spreadsheet will provide a more accurate answer quicker than I could.

Well at me beside Centrals and Eagles in 1993

I don't think this goes far enough in determining the best club - on field performances at four levels are fine but it should somehow incorporate things like AFL Draftees & Rookies, league debutantes (including interstate v local junior), state reps at league, U18 & U16 level, 200 game achievements, crowd attendances, crowd behaviour, spectataor facilities, club websites, tribunal suspensions, player misconduct etc (otherwise Westies are never going to win it) - what do the rest of you think?

I couldn't find it on the new SANFL site, but the SANFL has a Club of the Year award which is pretty much what you are asking about. There is an explanation etc here:
http://footysa.com/index.php?title=SANF ... f_the_Year
Only run for two years so far and Westies have finished 7th and 9th.

North back to back winners but I wouldn't think we could "jag" it for a 3rd year in 2007.

Geez. I only meant the last sentence to be a joke.
