Our game isn't as tough as it used to be, given that players would get about 20 weeks for that now.

The length of suspensions doled out to players has nothing to do with toughness.

"If there's a photographer who captured that from side on, that shot will be behind the man standing behind the bar around Australia for the next 100 years" Dermott Brereton

Well it's part of the logo for a certain afl file sharing site.

Everyone says that mark was the end of him, but he'd only kicked a few goals for that season prior to that match.

He actually suffered a hairline fracture of his hip when he landed. Tooks week to diagnose.

Ian McKay taking a spectacular mark at the 1952 SANFL Grand Final for North Adelaide with the old Western Stand in the background.

North Adelaide dominated the match beating Norwood by 110 points.

1958 Grand Final between Port Adelaide and West Adelaide. Dying seconds a West Adelaide played kicks for goal but it hits the point post and Port win by 2. This photo was taken as the ball was in flight. Front and centre is Jack Oatey...the cause of much pain for Port Adelaide...but it takes two to tango.

Brilliant picture. Judging by the faces the ball hit the right goal post - as the crowd viewed it.
