Actually, I've always wanted to be able to start a thread like this but with the AFL as the competition and the Redlegs being the Melbourne Football Club.

Today, the SANFL Redlegs (Norwood) start as hot favourites to win the flag against North Adelaide Roosters who made the Grand Final from fifth spot after the home and away series. This is effectively the last football match of the season and, in the absence of success at AFL level, this will have to do for Red & Blue tragics for this year at least.

For those who don't particularly feel the connection with the SA Redlegs, there's the youth connection. Norwood has teenagers James Aish and Trent Dumont expected to gain first round draft selection next month and that should be of interest given the draft selections we currently hold. And remember, we drafted Dean Terlich from Norwood last year after he was BOG in the grand final win last year and half back flanker Jace Bode is a former Demon while Michael Newton, who had ACL surgery last year is also on their list. Coach Nathan Bassett was once a Melbourne rookie before going on to have a stellar career with the Crows. Rookie Mitch Clisby came from the Roosters.

And, if that doesn't whet your appetite then surely the fact that this is the last game of footy at that scourge of all grounds for the MFC, Football Park or AAMI Stadium, surely will?

If Aish plays well will we then take 2 off the table and go for him. As far as an indicator of how hard he'd go at AFL, thin build.....I'd imagine the opposition will be desperate and they'd be a lot of hard hits....I reckon it would be hard not to.

Go the Redlegs make us proud

Billy Stretch is also playing today for Glenelg in the reserves Grand final

Go Billy!

I'm not sure if they're streaming the game on the SANFL site but it might be worth a look to see how Billy's travelling ...

In other news from around the world, the omens are all good.

Earlier today the Boston Red Sox (well, er, um redlegs to me) won over Tampa Bay in the MLB playoffs and the Demonland/Demonology footy team gave BomberBlitz a glimpse into a future of the red and blue under Paul Roos winning by 20 goals. Roosy couldn't make it today but I believe Wise marked his return from China with a stunning coaching debut proving my decision to step down (before I got knifed in the back) an inspired move :lol:

Anyone who took my advice about watching the SANFL Reserves Grand Final to catch a glimpse of Billy Stretch would have been well rewarded. It is being streamed on www.sanfl.com.au and the young bloke is doing nicely. Glenelg leads by 4 points late in the third quarter. Billy has had 17 touches and kicked a goal. Lightly built and doesn't look like his old man at all but looks composed and kicks and marks well.

stretcher was a classic. How often did he get flattened after kicking a 60 metre Bomb during the Northey years!!

I cant find it

Its the 13:45 minute mark and James Aish has 7 disposals 2 marks 0 tackles 2 clangers and 2 inside 50s

Dumont who is considerd a first rounder is dominating. He is the game leading disposal getter at the 17 minute mark with 13 disposals, 6 marks, 0 tackles, 2 inside 50s and 51 dreamteam points

Is a Cl on the stats sheet a clearance or a clanger? I would've though clearance.

Thanks for the updates. The ABC has a SANFL program at 2.00am on Wednesday morning. I am hoping this will be a replay of this Grand Final. Does anyone know?

Should be on ABC iview before that mate

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
