"Name The Team" wants your ideas

The Welsh clubs are of course aligned with SANFL clubs, so presumably someone still had a soft spot for Woodville. Certainly back in the 1980s it worked for them as part of the club's best era. Their favourite son Malcolm Blight returned to play and coach, and they went within a whisker of a grand final. They were the second favourite team of most people in Adelaide.

But with the SANFL shrinking as the VFL took the best players and so crowds and TV ratings dropped, and then the emergence of the AFL and Adelaide joining, the writing was on the wall for Woodville - not helped by it being the newest of several clubs based in Adelaide's western suburbs (e.g. West Adelaide, West Torrens and slightly further afield Glenelg and Port Adelaide).

Green and gold would be nice in that it would be a change from all the other AFL club colours, I'm just not sure about the spaceman, with all apologies to the Vale Warriors. Perhaps there are some great historical Welsh warrior heroes that, in later years, can replace the spaceman on Vale's jumper.
