Seven changes in fans’ greatest team

HERE is the fans' team. With almost 11,000 votes cast by readers of The Advertiser and its website, seven changes have been made to the Greatest SA Football Team of All-Time.

The significant difference in the team named in The Advertiser on Friday and the fans' team is the absence of any player who featured in the SANFL before 1929.

The fans have preferred:

GLENELG champion Peter Carey to lead the ruck rather than Magarey Medallist Tom Leahy.

PORT ADELAIDE and Collingwood key defender Greg Phillips and Crows defender Ben Hart in the back six rather than triple Magarey Medallist Dan Moriarty and North Adelaide premiership hero Ian McKay. McKay was pushed to the interchange bench.

CROWS heroes Darren Jarman and Tony Modra and Carlton key forward Stephen Kernahan make the forward six ahead of dual Magarey Medallist Bob Quinn, Hall of Famer Neil Kerley and Sturt champion Paul Bagshaw. Kerley also has been pushed to the bench.

What do you think of fans' picks for SA's greatest footy team?

CROWS premiership great Andrew McLeod and Carlton and Port Adelaide stalwart Craig Bradley take the wings in place of Port Adelaide legend John Cahill and triple Magarey Medallist Lindsay Head who move to the bench.

For coach, Jack Oatey won the fans' vote ahead of Fos Williams.

AND Ken "KG" Cunningham joins the touring group as umpire ahead of Murray Ducker.

Removed from The Advertiser all-time line-up are Bagshaw, Quinn, Moriarty, Leahy, Glenelg great Graham Cornes and pre-1945 champions Walter Scott and Tom Mackenzie.

The fans' line-up has just one star from the SANFL's first 60 years — legendary North Adelaide forward Ken Farmer who remains SA football's greatest goalkicker with 1417 goals from 1929 to 1941.
