BULLDOGS ROYALTY

BY PETER ARGENT

Central District coach Paul Thomas describes Jarrod Schiller as a “super tough player” and there will be further proof of that on Saturday as he becomes just the ninth Bulldog to reach 250 games in the club’s 60 years of league footy. The inspirational skipper has already carved a major place in Central’s history, he and younger brother Travis record three-time winners of the Norm Russell Medal for best and fairest.

Schiller, who made his league debut against Norwood at the Ponderosa in 2010 when the Bulldogs were dominating the SANFL, follows in the footsteps of Peter Vivian (308), Peter Beythien (285), Rene van Dommele (273), Thomas (269), Brian Haraida (268), Trevor Roe (262) Mark Prior (261) and Roger Girdham (255) to the remarkable milestone.

In his first full season of league footy in 2011 he became the first of Central’s record six SANFL Powerade Breakthrough Player award winners as the competition’s standout emerging young talent, Travis winning it in 2013. Jarrod was changing on the half-back flank with his then captain and now coach Thomas on the fateful October day at Football Park when the Bulldogs fell just three points

short of a 10th league premiership.

From the Barossa township of Nuriootpa, Schiller won back-toback junior flags with the Tigers in 2007-08, playing in an under-15 premiership with Travis in 2008.

Both siblings played in the SA State under-18s programs, Jarrod in 2010 alongside Brodie Smith, Chad Wingard, Sam Gray, Scott Lycett and Sam Day, and each has represented SANFL at senior State level.

“Travis (who is now travelling through Europe) and I would have played about 130 games together,” Jarrod said. “It was special to play league football alongside my brother.” He is proud to achieve the 250-game milestone and to have played for as long as he has. “From the time I started at senior level under (seven-time premiership coach) Roy Laird it was instilled in me about consistency. I was never one of those explosive types of footballers but my workrate and ability to be used in a variety of roles has helped my longevity.

When you reflect that I started playing under-17s at Central District two decades ago, it has been a fair chunk of my life.”

Thomas said it was “awesome” to still have Schiller in Bulldogs ranks, “a strong role model who

can explain to his peers the workload required to get deep into a finals campaign. He was just three points away from being a premiership player and it would be great for him to get a medallion before he finishes”. Schiller said: “Whether I’m a premiership player or not won’t define me as a footballer but we’re aiming for a top-three finish and the footy gods will take it from that point.”

A physiotherapist, Schiller has found a way to balance work, footy and family for 15 years and he and wife Alexa have moved into parenthood with nine-month-old joy Aria. “I’ve grown up at this football club and it’s been a big part of mine and Alexa’s life.”

Thomas handed Schiller the Bulldogs’ co-captaincy in 2021 alongside Luke Habel when he took over the coaching reins.

Described by Thomas as an “action-based leader” he has been sole skipper over the past three seasons. “Jarrod can play heaps of roles and has always been a resilient, team-first footballer,” Thomas said. “I remember on Anzac Day 2011 against Norwood when he tagged Nathan Eagleton out of the game.

That was his coming-of-age match.” sanfl.com.au

MATCH PREVIEWS

BY PETER CORNWALL

GLENELG V NORWOOD It was like Harry Boyd meets Don Bradman, the numbers were so big – and so dominant.

Giant Norwood ruckman Boyd stood head and shoulders above the rest – like The Don did as he averaged 99.94 in Test cricket in an era when 40 was considered outstanding – as the top-placed Legs flexed their muscles with a 42-point win against fourth-ranked Central. He racked up 30 disposals (next-best was Norwood skipper Jacob Kennerley with 22, then Central’s Harry Grant and Billy Iles with 20). He won a whopping 17 clearances (next-best Redleg Baynen Lowe’s seven and Grant’s six). And 48 hit-outs (followed by Central’s Harvey Howe, with 14, and Beau Thomas, seven). The 2022 Jack Oatey Medallist stood tall from the start, the Dogs not knowing what had hit them as Norwood led 6.7 to 1.0 six minutes into the second quarter with a staggering inside-50 advantage of 23-1.

Redlegs coach Jade Rawlings hardly surprisingly described Boyd’s performance as “extraordinary”, although he had already been averaging 19 possessions, nine clearances and 40 hit-outs before this game. “He’s a star, a really 4

sanfl.com.au

special person as well as a player and that was a pretty standout performance,” Rawlings said.

Beating Norwood come finals time will surely mean subduing Boyd’s huge influence in some way. The Redlegs have had five thumping wins in a row but will know they are facing up to a side that’s never easy to beat at the Bay but also has huge incentive to get back on the winners’ list after away losses to Port and Sturt – Matthew Snook.

The Tigers’ respect and admiration for the four-time club champion in his 200th game means they will leave nothing out on the park as they strive to honour him.

CENTRAL V NORTH There’s a showdown within this big clash at the Ponderosa. The Ken Farmer Medal is up for grabs and, in a low-scoring season, the Roosters and Dogs have the two leading goalkickers. North’s experienced ruck/forward Mitch Harvey has 31 goals to lead the way by one from Central’s exciting Aiden Grace.

Behind them are the Eagles’ Connor Ballenden and Glenelg’s triple Farmer Medallist Liam McBean, with 26. Then come North’s Nigel Lockyer and Sturt’s Connor McFadyen (25). Harvey, with three goals in the Roosters’ loss to

Adelaide compared with Grace’s two goals in the defeat at the hands of Norwood, edged to the lead with four games remaining in the minor round. Fans of these clubs won’t need to be reminded this is a crucial clash after last week’s losses and they know a bag of goals from either of these sharpshooters would set them on the way to a win.

Central could move into the top three, while North might be level in fifth spot with the Eagles, so there’s plenty on the line – for the teams and for a Medal.

STURT V PORT The Blues looked the real deal in completing a minor round double over reigning premier Glenelg at Unley. In a ripping contest between two SANFL heavyweights, Sturt made a fast start and withstood everything the Tigers threw at it as they clawed their way back. The Blues, with midfield guns Will Snelling, Tom Lewis and skipper James Battersby back together and combining for 66 disposals, 32 tackles and 19 clearances, a defence led by the rebounding and hard running of Casey Voss and a multipronged attack that hit the ground running look a step up from last year’s beaten grand finalists. The X-factor in attack was Oliver Grivell,

who took the game by the scruff of the neck in booting a stunning three goals in five minutes to end the third quarter, then sealed Sturt’s 20-point win with the final goal of the game.

His burst decided the contest as the Bays had edged within a kick with the wind to come in the final term, victory honouring the 1974 team’s grand final win against Glenelg in the first premiership decider at Football Park. That makes an impressive nine wins in a row for the Blues, just a win behind top side Norwood, but they won’t want to take the foot off the accelerator against a Port side that slipped to bottom with last week’s loss against South. The Magpies pushed the Blues to within 24 points at Alberton in Round 8 and they showed plenty of fight after conceding the first six goals of the game against the Panthers, beaten by 15 points. Dante Visentini again stood tall in ruck, while Will Lorenz (25 disposals) and Ryan Burton (22) had their share of the ball but if Port has such a shoddy start against Sturt it will surely pay the price.

SOUTH V WEST What a difference a week has made for these sides. The Panthers ended a run of four losses with a win against Port that lifted them from

the bottom. And the Bloods stopped their losing streak at five with a victory against the fifth-ranked Eagles that gave them some hope of snatching a late finals berth.

Both sides had been closing in on a win – South had pushed Sturt before falling eight points short of North in a game decided at the death, while West had time run out as it suffered a six-point loss against Central. But coaches Jarrad Wright and Adam Hartlett had had enough of honourable defeats and getting that W after a run of losses sure feels good. The Panthers banged on the first six goals to set up their win, Kobe Mutch, Oliver Davis and Hayden Sampson continuing their strong seasons, while Sid Draper, who turned 18 this month, again showed what a bright future he has. The Bloods conceded the first two goals but after that made all the running against the Eagles, finishing up doubling their score in a resounding 39-point win.

Kobe Ryan’s stunning year rolled on with 36 touches and a goal – with 362 disposals he’s just eight behind competition leader, North’s Campbell Combe, while his 128 tackles is rated third – eight behind Combe – and he’s fifth in clearances. The good news will get

better for one of these sides as they target back-to-back successes to really give their year a kickalong.

EAGLES V ADELAIDE The Eagles are at the crossroads.

After Round 10 Sam Jacobs’ men were top of the table with a 7-3 win-loss record. Now, after four successive losses, they are hanging onto fifth spot by just a game, with North, West and the Crows in with a sniff. Being overwhelmed by 39 points by Westies must have been a concern after fighting losses to last year’s grand finalists Glenelg and Sturt. Now the Eagles have it all to play for against a side that, with wins against Glenelg, Central and North in its past four clashes, is suddenly back in the finals picture.

The Crows kicked away from the Roosters in an impressive 38-point win that gave former West premiership player Hugh Haysman a 100th game to remember. Skipper Jack Madgen led from the front with 28 disposals, Kieran Strachan collected 43 hit-outs and 15 disposals and Daniel Curtin continued to impress with 21 disposals and two goals. The Eagles will be looking to turn the clock back to Round 10 when they thumped Adelaide by 53 points – but plenty has changed since then. sanfl.com.au

Central District’s historic 1964 team.

DOGS’ ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS

BY ROBERT LAIDLAW

It’s Central District Football Club’s 60th anniversary of league footy this year and celebrations of the club’s history will climax with its inaugural Hall of Fame.

The Bulldogs held a lunch to commemorate the anniversary in May, with many of the club’s league players in attendance, including several from 1964, and the Hall of Fame night, when 20 greats of the club will be inducted, will be held on October 26.

Paul Thomas’s men’s thrilling sixpoint Round 14 win against West Adelaide on July 13 was played 60 years and two days after the first league game at Elizabeth Oval and Central’s first captain-coach Ken Eustice was a guest, catching up with the current Bulldogs coach in the changerooms.

Elizabeth Oval hadn’t been ready until round 12, 1964, when Eustice led his men onto the ground 6

through a guard of honour featuring some four-legged bulldogs.

“Elizabeth Oval looked like an oasis in the desert in those early years,” Eustice said in his biography Pound For Pound, written by Peter Cornwall. Eustice, who won the 1962 Magarey Medal with West Adelaide and had to stand out for the Bulldogs’ first six games waiting for a clearance, led a team of pioneers who failed to win even one game in 1964 and who “used to change in a little shed behind where the stand was to be completed in that debut season”.

Because Eustice did not play Central’s first league game – against West Torrens at Thebarton Oval on April 11 – it was local champion Gary Window who led the side out. It could not have been a much tougher debut as the Eagles had been minor premiers in 1963 and had a star-studded line-

up featuring triple Magarey Medallist Lindsay Head, captain Bob Shearman and tough-as-nails Freddie Bills. Six players from the Bulldogs’ raw starting line-up never played league again after 1964, while four only played in one other season. But there were three other players of note in that inaugural side – Mick Daly and Colin Stutley, who jointly were the first to play 100 games for the club, and Sonny Morey, who was the first to 200 games and recorded the first kick for Central in that initial game.

Morey was an 18-year-old Indigenous player from Gawler Central, where he won a best and fairest. The Bulldogs had chased the young gun the previous season but he wanted to finish school first.

“It was the most exciting time of my life to be selected to play league football and to be selected to play

in Central’s first league game,” Morey said. “I was as nervous as anything, ’cause that’s part of history now. It was a great honour to play senior footy, especially for an Aboriginal kid from Alice Springs.

“The build-up to the game was phenomenal. The Press were interviewing players here, there and everywhere. Well, the first bounce, you don’t know where the ball’s going to go because you rely on the bloke who’s bouncing the ball. Kempie (ruckman Brian Kemp), leapt and punched the ball, I picked it up and kicked a 50-metre drop punt, on the run, towards the goals but (Torrens defender) Bob Gibson marked the ball right on the goal-line.”

With Shearman booting eight goals, the Eagles dominated, winning 26.24 to 6.7. But Central managed two goals in the first quarter, kicked by teenage full forward Don Eagle.

“My first goal was from a free kick – I still don’t know what it was for.

Maybe the umpire was feeling sorry for us,” he said.

In Round 2 the Bulldogs were beaten by eventual premier South by 70 points, before a match-up with fellow minnow Woodville ended in a heartbreaking 10-point defeat. The losses continued but all the early games were played away, until Round 12, when Central played its first home game, against Glenelg.

It ended in another loss but the

41-point margin was an improvement on the 108-point Round 4 defeat at the hands of the Tigers.

With plenty of home games in the second half of the inaugural season, the young Central side was more competitive, with a 17-point loss to North and 11-point defeat at the hands of Norwood. Only two players featured in all 20 games – Kemp and Stutley, who won the best-and-fairest award. Keith Johns was the Bulldogs’ top goalkicker with 22.

Tom Zorich, who was destined to make his mark on the club as a player and president, witnessed the significant milestone games in the first season at Thebarton and Elizabeth.

“I was just 12 and in awe of Aussie Rules,” Zorich said. “Before Centrals were in the league I remember riding my bike along Goodman Road and heard all this yelling outside Elizabeth Oval. So I went in to take a look and it was a seconds game, around 1960, and thought ‘Wow, this looks good’. Then when Centrals were promoted to the league in ’64, I caught a train and bus to Thebarton to see how we would go. I remember Sonny grabbing the ball and kicking it forward but Lindsay Head carved us up that day – excitement turned to sadness.

“Later that season I was at the first game at Elizabeth. I played

in a game for my school between the reserves and league matches and we all lined up along with those bulldogs to watch Ken (Eustice) and the team run out.

I fell in love with Centrals and I was captivated by the SANFL.” Zorich is remembered to this day for having the first kick in league footy on Football Park in 1974.

And the Doggies only had to wait until Round 2 of 1965 to record their first win – against Woodville.

Eustice’s side picked up a highly creditable eight wins that year – the first big step on the way to 60 years of outstanding achievements. sanfl.com.au

ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS

BY PETER CORNWALL

He’s never been one to chase attention but Matthew Snook sure deserves it as he brings up his 200th game with the Tigers.

He’s also never been on the lookout for individual awards or honours.

But he’s certainly – and deservedly – won his fair share of them. While you hear plenty of footballers sprouting a team-first attitude, Snook actually lives and breathes it.

So much so, he doesn’t like the idea of being in the limelight – even when he’s joining the 200 Club.

“I don’t want to be bigger than anyone else. It’s a team game and you’re not as good as you can be unless your team goes well, the players around you,” he said. It’s fair to say Glenelg wouldn’t have been as good as it could be without Snook as it has become a SANFL powerhouse again over the past half-dozen seasons.

Modern-day SANFL greats often don’t get the credit they deserve because people too often rate the AFL the be-all-and-end-all of our great national game. But Snook is an all-time champion, no matter how you look at it. Great of Glenelg Laurie Rosewarne has pretty much lived and breathed the Bays over six decades. A club vice-captain and general manager among countless roles over the years, he is the voice of experience and he rates Snook in the top 7 greatest Glenelg players in the 104-year history of the club. He loves the bloke, not just because he wears his old favourite No.3 guernsey, but because of the way he plays – 100 per cent, courageous commitment at all times and a selfless team game – and the example he sets on and off the field.

The numbers back Rosewarne’s opinion of where Snook sits in Tigers history. He is the 27th Glenelg player to reach 200 games. He has won four Glenelg best-and-fairest awards – only one player. Len Sallis, has won more, with five. He is one of only three to have won four, along with Colin Richens and Nick Chigwidden, while he’s also finished

runner-up once and third three times. He’s won two Tigers premierships – only one player, Peter Carey, has won more (three).

He is one of only four Glenelg players to have won a Jack Oatey Medal for best-on-ground in a grand final (2019) – and he finished a close third in voting last year.

Unlucky not to have won a Magarey Medal, as runner-up in 2020 and ’21, he is one of only six Glenelg players to twice finish in the top two.

Not bad for a bloke who won the Alan Stewart Medal for best-onground in the Tigers’ 2010 under-18 grand final win but, after making his league debut in 2011, was actually told in 2013 he could look for another club. As he fought to establish himself in league ranks he actually thought of moving away but anyone who knows Snook knows all about his resilience, his never-give-up attitude and whenever he’s been doubted “it probably helps light a fire” that makes him all the more determined to prove himself. Not only did he endure the early doubters and

thrive, he had to battle through tough times at the club – just four wins each season from 2013-15 and no finals for seven years. It’s made the success Snook’s enjoyed – and played a key role in – in 2019 and last year at Glenelg – “the club’s been everything, really … it’s been half my life now” – all the sweeter.

“You can’t go past the flags,” he said of career highlights, “but probably the mateship as well … the camaraderie, I’ve got some of my best mates here and I’ve still got mates who have left and I am the silly one still hanging on, really”.

How much longer he will hang on is another thing. He is “probably leaning towards” this season bringing down the curtain on a remarkable career. But he has been close before. “I’ve said it the last five years, I reckon,” he says laughing. Right now, he will just enjoy the moment – he agrees reaching 200 games is “a massive honour and achievement” – with family, friends and the fans, all who he wants to thank. And we thank you, too. sanfl.com.au

STEP BACK IN TIME What were the odds of seasoned defenders Brenton Adcock and Stuart Palmer kicking a goal on the same day?

Palmer scored only 28 in a clubrecord 337-game career spent primarily in defence while Adcock booted just six goals in 259 from his back pocket where he featured in six Sturt premiership teams.

Mathematically, the answer is one chance in 519 and that day arrived in the final minor round game of 1973 on a cold, wet and miserable afternoon at Unley Oval. The game, which pitted second-placed Sturt against second-bottom South, was curious for so many more reasons.

Palmer’s goal was not just the opening score of the game after five minutes – but the only one his side mustered for the entire match.

South’s pitiful return of 1.4 was the lowest league score in 60 years since 1913. Only two sides have since been held to a lower return – Norwood’s 1.3 against Glenelg in 2008, while Sturt incredibly kept West to 0.6 in 2021.

Most of the 4178 fans who braved the elements in 1973 were hoping to see goals not from Palmer but the other No. 31 on the ground, young Sturt full forward Ken Whelan. And he didn’t let them down. Whelan’s second goal, after marking unattended at the 22-minute-mark of the opening term, was his 100th of the season, making him Sturt’s first century goalkicker since Bo Morton in 1940.

“The ball came in generally pretty fast at Sturt so if you were on the lead, no-one was going to stop that,” Adcock recalled. “But he could take the big hanger as well. He was a really good full forward – we were lucky to have so many.”

Whelan finished with 107 goals that year, 108 in Sturt’s 1974 premiership season and 80 the following year 10

KEN’S TON OF PAIN FOR PANTHERS

BY DION HAYMAN

Sturt full forward Ken Whelan kicks his 100th goal for the season on an otherwise miserable, wet day at Unley Oval in 1973.

before injuries saw his star fade.

But while the second goal from Whelan, who died in 2013 aged just 60, was met with adulation and blue balloons launched skyward, Adcock’s drew an instant if not predictable response from some punters along the lines of: “It’s a pity you didn’t do that in 1965.”

Adcock laughed as he was again reminded of the moment in time he has never been allowed to forget.

The All-Australian defender suffered the misfortune of being among several Sturt players who missed goals late in the 1965 grand

final which Port won by three points. “That’s my career summed up,” he said. “I had two kicks for goal in the last quarter as did Hicks and Halbert and a couple of others and we lost by three points and so they always remember. My memory of it was I was almost straight in front and I remember I should have kicked it. I think I even had two shots and I tried to kick a drop kick.

You’d be ripped off the ground if you did it today and at a crucial time I did a droppy. But droppies were 75 per cent of your kicks in those days.”

Adcock has never let the taunts

bother him – it’s not in his DNA. “Nothing has ever haunted me and the only reason I remember the ’65 one was because people keep reminding me, even to this day,” he said. “‘You know, I remember back in 1965…’ they say and I say ‘well you must be old then’. I’ve never taken footy that seriously. I obviously played a fair bit and with a bit of success but it was never the be-all and end-all for me. You go out there and have a good game.

Most of them you win and some you lose and you move on. I’m not what you call a diehard football player or supporter.”

The pain inflicted from losing that day was soon erased as Sturt won the next five premierships in a row – the first three against Port.

“When we lost that grand final in ’65, I can remember clearly that night in the changerooms and upstairs back at Unley Oval.

Everyone’s a bit despondent of course because we’d lost the game but Jack (Oatey) said, ‘No fellas, it was all part of the plan. We needed

to lose that one’.” And everyone said, ‘yep, we have arrived’.”

It’s not difficult to understand why six flags have become far more memorable to Adcock than his six league goals. He can’t remember kicking his goal that fateful day at Unley. He doesn’t recall any of them.

“I’ve seen everyone quote these six goals I kicked in my career,” he said.

“You’d think as a backman you’d remember at least one of them wouldn’t you? I can remember doing dashes and all that sort of stuff but I cannot remember kicking a goal. Is it right? Were there six? I wouldn’t have a clue.”

Palmer cannot recall his vital contribution either – the one that saved South from going goalless.

“I’m not surprised to hear we were beaten by Sturt because that was quite a regular occurrence for quite a few teams,” Palmer said. “But it’s not ringing too many bells, I honestly can’t remember that day.”

Palmer was still playing as a forward in the early ’70s before establishing himself as a dour key

defender that earned him State selection in 1980 and induction into the SA Football Hall of Fame in 2017.

“I started at centre half-forward (in 1969) and then gradually moved to the backline,” he said. “I kicked a goal with my first kick in league footy. I’m pretty sure it was down at Alberton and it bounced through. I remember playing in the forward line in my first season because we played Centrals at Adelaide Oval and I think we kicked 13 goals in the second quarter and I was lucky enough to get a couple.”

But his solo shot at Unley in 1973 has perhaps understandably long since escaped his memory on what was a dreadfully forgettable afternoon for the navy and white. It was a grim reminder of how far the club had fallen in just nine seasons since its 1964 premiership, still its most recent to this day. Twelve Panthers failed to reach doublefigure kicks in an era in which handballs were rarely utilised.

Although Oatey, of course, was changing that. sanfl.com.au

UNDER-18 WRAP

BY ZAC MILBANK

Sturt sent an ominous warning to its SANFL Under-18 rivals as it toppled ladder-leading Glenelg by nine points at Stratarama Stadium.

Determined to bounce back from its upset loss to the Eagles, the Double Blues kept the Tigers goalless in the third term while building a 52-39 advantage with inside 50m entries. Sturt ruck Blake Thredgold was a key pillar in his team’s victory while providing opportunities for Connor Mills (22 disposals, one goal) and Harley Barker (16 disposals). The Tigers, still sitting on top of the table, were well served by Oliver Betterman (30 disposals), Lachlan Ryan (16 disposals, one goal) and Remi Brown.

North Adelaide overpowered South Adelaide in the second half to cruise to a 51-point win at Flinders University Stadium.

Leading by just seven points at half-time, the Roosters piled on the pain for the Panthers by slamming on 9.5 to 2.3 across the final two quarters, Louie Montgomery (22 disposals), Oliver Francou (29 disposals, two goals) and Blake Oudshoorn-Bennier leading the way. South’s Cohen Shortridge battled hard to register 23 disposals, eight clearances and 15 tackles, while Panther talls Jake Agnew (21 disposals) and captain Jacob Sheean (20) also tried to stem the tide.

Woodville-West Torrens dried up West Adelaide’s avenues to goal as it stamped its authority with a 65-point win at Maughan Thiem Kia Oval.

Scores were locked on 2.1 each at the first change after West’s Mitch Marsh goaled 25 minutes into the opening term. But that would be the Bloods’ last scoring shot until Marsh booted his second major in the fourth

minute of the fourth quarter, illustrating the Eagles’ defensive prowess. The Bloods couldn’t contain Eagles skipper Jett Hasting as he racked up 36 disposals, eight marks and five clearances, while Lachlan Sands (22 disposals) and Jack Gray, with five goals, played key roles in the win. Fletcher Dillon and Bailey White battled hard for West.

Central District responded to consecutive losses by carving out an impressive 33-point win against Norwood at X Convenience Oval.

After succumbing to West and North in the previous two rounds, the Bulldogs regained much-needed confidence by leading at every break and establishing a commanding presence at the stoppages, winning clearances 39-17. Thomas Cochrane (25 disposals, one goal), Ryan Lane-Ellis (26 disposals, 10 clearances) and Beau Ryan (26 disposals, two goals) dominated for the Dogs. Norwood’s coaching staff praised the efforts of Noah Daw (22 disposals), Jim Kelly and Darcy Speyer. sanfl.com.au

HISTOR

CHANNEL 7 BROADCAST

BY NEIL J SMITH

Leah Chambers, Guy James and Vinnie Shannon in the broadcasting van.

Channel 7’s John Casey interviews Norwood coach Jade Rawlings. Steve Opie on camera.

Each week Channel 7 covers one of the SANFL games, broadcast live in Adelaide and available throughout Australia through the 7+ app.

The program director, Guy James, had his first opportunity as a props boy on the Beach Girl Quest at Channel 9 and then began as fulltime office boy in 1978.

His first involvement with live football broadcasts was the 1978 grand final. His job was to take 16mm films from camera operators at Football Park to be processed at Collinswood – he weaved his motorbike as speedily as possible through the traffic so the film could be developed in time to be shown in KG’s Footy Show at 5.30.

Channel 9 had the rights to the SANFL football from 1980 and Guy was assigned to be the ‘cable tracker’ for the portable camera along the boundary line. First game was at Richmond Oval, where the fans along the boundary were sometimes angry about blocking the view but on other occasions shared cakes with the crew. He remembers the coverage was basic by today’s 20

sanfl.com.au

standards, with just three cameras and one replay machine. The SANFL reserves were covered live and the main game recorded for edited highlights screened in the early evening. By 1990, Guy was directing for Nine and coverage featured two games shown live from Football Park. He would get an opportunity to direct half of the early game and then go back to working a camera for the second game.

Commercial stations competed fiercely for the program rights from the early 1960s. Among the collection of videotapes acquired by the SANFL History Centre are programs from the three commercial stations and the ABC. Thousands of hours of football history have been digitised and preserved for the future These days, Channel 7’s coverage features five cameras and each of these is separately recorded for potential replay. Preparation for the telecast of each week’s game begins well in advance. Guy considers the teams and identifies players past and present who might

add some interest to the broadcast.

The Sunday afternoon game in June was Norwood v Port Adelaide at The Parade. Coverage that day included a celebration of the 1984 Norwood premiership, with the SANFL History Centre providing a copy of the game.

The team worked to pre-record an introduction to the telecast, highlighting SANFL’s traditional rivalry. Norwood great Michael Taylor was screened showing the relatives of Charles Perry his 1915 Magarey Medal and there was an interview with former Redlegs star Keith Thomas.

On game day there is a crew of 22, more than double the ‘old days’. The outside broadcast van arrives early on game day, with the operational crew rostered on four–and-a-half hours before ‘on air’. The cameras are much more sophisticated with excellent lenses and access to replays. Viewers see the entire game live to air on Channel 7. Guy stresses it’s a team effort that relies on the skills and experience of the crew, led by JAM TV producer Vinnie Shannon.
