SA Footy

I picked this up today, I had to order it and pay a $5 deposit. The bloke that makes them is a Centrals/Power supporter, he carries heaps of Power/Crows ones in stock, but will make any design you want. He's located upstairs at the Fishermans warf Markets, Port adelaide, and @ $15 ea they are pretty good value.



He's about 320mm (1'1") tall

He looks a close relative to this chappy

Just to let you know, the paint is cracking after a year or so - was thinking I might have to visit that guy again for a touch-up*

The crafers inn has the whole set of SANFL statues but the only display the current premier

Not too many have seen much light this century then

I can remember being in a country pub somewhere, they used to display the whole set in the premiership table order.

I'd assume he does AFL (Carlton)..what about Soccer & Rugby ones ? Would be great to get all the sides I support done ?
(Adelaide Utd, Derby FC, Brumbies & Raiders !!)

He's had a Carlton one there for a while, waiting for whoever ordered it to pick it up......that's why he now wants a $5 deposit with orders. Not sure about the round ball game, might look a bit strange with a footy under a soccer players arm.

The Swan Reach Hotel did it, late '80s-early '90s. When each team was eliminated, the statue would be turned around to face the wall.

Yeah i've seen that in a few pubs.

The Bloomberg hotel at Birdwood has them in ladder order and they also have Hills league ones as well.

I used to have one of these guys...his name was Jack!
Once upon a time he went for a "holiday" around Australia.
Until this day he is still missing, presumed smashed into a million pieces.
Damn, I should have paid that ransom!

I also have the glenelg version out my back yard. his head fell off years ago so i glued it back on. I have had him for about 25 + years and his name is frank.

I have seen all ten in a bar at someones house and they have it set up as a league ladder !!!

If you are wondering why the ten it is because he has had them that long he still has the Woodville one who sits by himself in the corner !!!

Surely the Woodville one should be bent over in font of the Torrens one?

I think he rotates them annually !!!

Sounds like a very fair man.

The Blanchetown pub used to do this in the front bar, but unfortunately no longer.
