This game remains largely forgotten/unknown. The drawn VFL-AFL Grand Final left the league scrambling to organise entertainment for the replay on October 1st.
With the Reserves and Under 19s having already played their Grand Finals the previous week, a curtain-raiser was organised between...

It's hard to believe but there's over 50 trophies, medals, cups - and even a plate - on offer this season during the home and away rounds. Some honour past greats, some are for a good cause, and others, frankly, seem to be awards for the sake of having an award (Fila Cup, anyone?).
