SA Footy

The SANFL in recent years has combined the Magarey Medal presentation and inductees to the SANFL Hall of Fame. Nothing happened or was mentioned about the Hall of Fame last night. Despite clubs being requested by the SANFL to nominate suggestions during the year it seems as though they have regarded nobody as worthy of induction this year. Can anyone in the know advise what the situation is and I see today that Russell Ebert has been elevated to Legend Status which is well deserved and this was arranged in a private meeting. Was a Hall of Fame arranged at a Hall of fame committee meeting and no other nomations were agreed?

Just a guess, but maybe respect from all clubs toward such a legend in light of his current battle?

This isn't the SANFL Hall of Fame but rather the SA Sport Hall of Fame. They are two different Halls of Fame.
As far as I know the SANFL didn't induct anyone this year.
