A smart club, Norwood , recruited Dave for the following season , Dave ended up in defence in Norwoods 1978 Grand Final win


It should not have been called the Ardath Cup

Anyone know Andy Gepp?

A Shane Gepp, played 19s and Reserves in 1990 for the Bays

Clearly a big influence on Stephen Kernahan.

Far out. Time and place people.

What is he signing? Jockstrap?

Is 80’s Dad rocking a pair of desert boots??

If this happened today he would be declared a paedophile. Political Correctness and people easily offended these days.

Kerley moving Butch Phillis off of Ross Dillon at three-quarter time didn't help.

goal umpire didnt help when mike poulter ran the ball thru and was given a goal during the last qtr

Thats the SANFL's version of the Wayne Harmes play isn't it?

mike told me last year he couldnt believe it was given a goal, he thought he had effed up until the roar went up for the goal

The Ross Dillon free 25m out straight in front prior to that, which he kicked a goal from was just as criminal.

Freddie Phillis kicking 0.6 wasn't anything to do with Glenelg losing?

I wish Glenelg did win. Mum dragged me off to Norwood Oval that night and I had no idea what was going on!
