SANFL/AFL overlap[edit]

I think there has to be a bit of a reconsideration of the records of both Warren Tredrea and Justin Westhoff in the 'leading career goalkickers' section. Only Tredrea can feasibly be listed as having a goals total in both the AFL and SANFL, as he played for Port Adelaide's senior team in both leagues. Gray and Westhoff each played a handful of games for Port Adelaide's reserve team which also just so happened to compete in the SANFL. Senior and reserves records are never combined, so nor should they here. Neither do I think there is much value in separating out totals by league anyway, considering the overlap doesn't really exist.

Now, removing Westhoff's three reserves goals is easy enough. Tredrea's totals are a bit more difficult to decipher, but we can get there. His record on AF.com consists of 26 SANFL games for 33 SANFL goals across 1996 (senior), 1997 (reserves) and 2007 (reserves). His Wiki profile says that in 1996 he played 9 games for an unknown amount of goals, in 1997 he played 16 games for 16 goals, and that he returned to football via the SANFL in 2007 with a seven-goal performance.

Hence we can reasonably assume that Tredrea's senior record for Port Adelaide in the SANFL is 9 games for 10 goals, and therefore his total senior goal tally is 559. And before anyone jumps in saying that the club doesn't delineate – it doesn't matter for our purposes. The overlap period is messy for record-keeping with Port Adelaide. We should be the historical record here. Gibbsy^spin 04:07, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
