Yeah, fair call,thats a lot of venues,...and thanks ibd77, I had forgotten the Brittania and Gaza Footy Club, and that sports centre place in Plympton too...
Always enjoyed getting out there, the social aspect of it all, supporting the venues. Met some great people, had some fantastic times..
Stupid game..... Never playing again

Theres a few places I never played at and really wish i had:
Chenzos, seems like a nice place, had dinner up there once with Dave and everyone on his birthday, great food, and would have been a fun game
Kentish Arms, did not know the place even existed until about 6 months ago. Fantastic little pub in the quiet section of North Adelaide on Stanley Street. People tell me often about how much fun that game was
Strathmore, ultra late game, started at 2am or something ?
Red Square, not because it was Red Square, more about the place next door really...Getting knocked out early wouldn't have hurt as much with the "entertainment" next door..

Someone just reminded me I used to play at the Campania Club in Modbury North too.
APL had a State final there once too.
The list keeps on growing..
