How can a BOG in that grand final be anything to go by.
Read the entries on the Riverland pages, where their own supporters don't see them as A graders in the Barossa.
Being a gun in one league doesn't make you the same at a higher level.
I find it amusing the way Barossa locals continue to rate and speak about their league in comparison to other leagues around the place. Yes its one of the better ones in SA, but you'd be ignorant not to concede that the standard of the BLG has declined considerably since the 1990s and early 2000s and is now a much more similar standard to several leagues around the place. Based on the footy I have seen in the Barossa over recent years, the best players from most leagues would comfortably hold a spot in most (not all) Barossa teams. To say they'd be C graders at best in the BLG is laughable. For instance, I know of several current, regular BLG A graders, that didn't get a look in for a spot in APFL association squad (of 45 players). Pull you head out of the clouds hotspur........anyone that's won a B&F and get BOG in a GF can clearly play a bit.
