Re: AFL 2011
Port Adelaide won 6 in a row, true, but in an inferior league. Collingwood won 4 in a row in a much tougher league. Centrals are playing in their 11th or 12th grand final in a row, but would you consider that something remarkable given that the league has basically become a breeding ground for AFL prospective players. The only club which treats it seriously these days is, well Centrals.nobleoz wrote:Just to remind you that Port Adelaide won 6 in a row in the 50's..........but I would be the only person on this site who would join the PAFC Official Appreciation Society!

Re: AFL 2011
SANFL teams were regularly beating VFL teams at the time. Victorians were still up their own arses at this time which accounts for the later revisions showing how these amateur smokers wearing knickerbockers were elite athletes.Amaru wrote:And that league just happened to be the premier league at the time?yob wrote:In an amateur state league...Amaru wrote:To get official status they need to win 4 premierships in a row.

Re: AFL 2011
On occassion an SANFL club beat a VFL club but on the whole the VFL was a stronger league. I don't think there is any argument there.

And the VFL clubs were attracting the best SA & WA players. But the brief foray into the National Club Championship at the end of the season in the 70's showed the SA clubs could match it with the Vics. Loved the days of the interstate games........"kick a Vic"!

I stood next to (in the same post code as) Darren about 5 years ago in the line up to Norwood Oval. Going on the photo in that article, he's lost weight.
