1934-1935 Bayman's team Glenelg
2015-2016 Lee's team West Adelaide

I would argue even before Aaron Young's injury, North had as big an injury list as Norwood. Plus there was a fair bit of quality on the injury list including Cameron Craig, Sam Mayes, Andrew Moore, Jesse White and Nigel Lockyer

I don’t think the list is as long but irrespective of that, the huge difference is North have depth & Norwood lack depth

The Bays were bottom in 1933 -went top in 1934- and were bottom again in 1935,.

According to the SANFL's list after Tuesday's game, North had 17 injured players and Norwood 15.
Of course some of North's injured players are Reserves players, but the same could be said for Norwood.

Adelaide Reserves have 22+ mostly first choice players out every week and still manage to make finals...
Does go to show you can have 15+ players of first choice and others out and still win...

That is perhaps the most ridiculous comment ever posted on this forum.
I looked at the SANFL site and the Crows had 2 players out.
North now have 20 players listed as injured and Norwood 13.

The 22+ the crows have out each week are the 22 that play in the AFL team ... Razz

How do you see your team this year? - Page 2 1920501681

Dont forget at any time guys like Sloane, Rankine, Dawson etc etc can be selected into the SANFL
Has been done when Tex Walker and Edward Betts played the Reserves team in past years

Not even worth arguing with you.

Rough ranking after 5 rounds, IMO.

1 Sturt - surely a bit surprising, even to them, but no denying they're playing great footy.

2 Adelaide - their best is probably better than the rest, and their depth is prettry good.

3 Glenelg - slow start, but revving up nicely now.

4 North - another slow start, thumped by Adelaide, but a few to come back.

5 Central - just playing solid footy and big improvers.

6 Port - very slow start, but starting to string a couple of wins together.

7 South- really disappointing so far, alarm bells not far off.

8 Eagles - great Round 1 win now looking not so impressive, need to improve.

9 West - good win over South, finishing games off well when it's all over.

10 Norwood - what's going on?
