    Resource List thread - Inaccuracy in official records

    Well that is very strong evidence - particularly with the fact that you haven't found even a remotely alternate person who is 'could be confused with.' Have we raised this evidence to the St Kilda Historian (Holmesby) for his opinion as well ? And just checking all bases, is there an active...

    Pretty much collated Radio GF broadcasts from 1924 - 1957 (introduction of tv boradcasts) A few outstanding questions that I may have missed going cross-eyed doing research 3LO/ 3AR 1925-1945 is alternated between 3AR and 3LO with no rhyme or reason (so it wasn't one year on and off).

    Appreciate that thank you. Yes I had been looking through the Age newspapers and missed a couple that you picked. In some cases its hard to figure out who was calling and who is there for a footy program. Lke ABCs 1964. So no point putting all those names down for instance because they were most...

    1992 Olympics caused a few Sunday matches times to be played earlier it seems. Round 20 - Richmond v Adelaide was 1.06pm, so too Sydney v Carlton

    Why was VFL Park not used in Rounds 1 and 2 in the 1970s?

    You'll most likely find your answer in the 2 docos that I manage to find and digitise in the last couple of weeks. I think its a mixture of ground not fully ready, and the League was wanting a low-crowd begin so chose two teams who wouldn't draw a monster crowd.
