As a Victorian this is unreal. The SANFL is great. I hope all the old supporters keep their kids supporting a team to keep the comp strong.

Perhaps our memories are clouded by the passage of time and nostalgia, but jeez wasn't footy terrific in those days.

I was at this match. So good game. Neck to neck. In the final siren I threw wasted chicken and chips into the crowd haha it was massive spread haha Best triumph ever 35,000+ people

North's No 8 has a future.

tribey, mate we agree on something!

AFL desperately needs a relegation and promotion system to allow strong state based clubs in Adelaide, Melbourne and Perth to come into the top league based on merit. The AFL is fixated on making clubs appear out of thin air (GWS, Suns etc). Better to emulate the European system. Why do we continue to allow the same clubs year after year to languish... drop them into a national Division 2 and the next year they compete for promotion. Yes stiff shit Carlton and North Melbourne - just like Leeds United etc in England, no mercy if you finish at the bottom. Imagine how much more exciting dead rubbers at the end of the season become if relegation is breathing down your neck.

afl is a corrupted semi govt department,with all its waste and virtue signalling.A lot of the footy is boring and sterile. I still get a kick out of the quality product that is the Sanfl
