Thanks, Rhett. Will do

Thanks for that, 35Daicos . I dug out the earliest copy I have (from back when they still had representative/interstate stats in the AFL guide)... turns out Richards and Jenkins were part of the Grand Final/Exhibition medallists list then as well. Richards in 1946 should remain there but...

I've just unearthed an error in the official list of Simpson Medal winners for WA state games. 1947 - Frank Jenkins (South Fremantle) is shown in WAFL published records and online as B.O.G. in a South Fremantle vs Essendon match. The AFL season guide and Wikipedia have the same info...

Quick update - all rep/interstate match results (except Tassie intrastate) for seasons 1930-49 have now been uploaded to: www.hardballget.net/rep-matches.html Enjoy!

G'Day All, long time, no post. Hope everyone's been doing well. I've just uploaded to HardBallGet match results for every* representative and interstate game covering the period 1877-1929. Quarter-by-quarter scores, venues, dates, crowds for around 1000 games, listed by decade. *(Tasmanian...

G'day All, FYI - Gibbsy has put together a detailed history of the Gardiner Medal, the VFL Reserves' Best & Fairest award. https://www.hardballget.net/afl-reserves-gardiner-medal.html The article includes a tonne of previously unpublished info including: - top 3 placings 1923-99 -...

This State practice match was a pretty cool one-off event and the first trial of the "Allies" concept for State of Origin. It was played during the VFL finals as a warm-up for the end-of-season State of Origin Carnival, and Victoria had a makeshift leadership set-up: *Tom Hafey (Victoria's...

Top work on this, mate. And that poster is seriously cool!

Plans changed quite a bit by the looks of that. One thing that stands out to me is no mention of the Australian Amateurs. Highly unusual as they'd been involved in every Section Two championships since 1950. It's just a theory but maybe they were initially overlooked for 1979 because of the...

The 1979 Section Two championships consisted of 5 matches, held in July/Aug/Oct. The team rankings were based on final placings in the previous national championships held in 1974/75. PRELIMINARY ROUND: Queensland (1974 Section 2 national champions) bypassed the preliminary round. SF1 - July...

1903 - light fingers in the outer at Princes Park...

The most I'm aware of in the VFA is Johnny Walker (Williamstown, 1952). He needed 13 and kicked 16 to finish on 103. Then Laurie Nash (Camberwell, 1939) who needed 11, kicked 11, finished on 100. Jack Douglas (Brighton, 1947) needed 7, kicked 8, finished on 101. ------------------- A few...

I second that, absolute head-scratcher that it's taken this long to induct him but better late than never

How's the chicken legs on Peter Landy!!!!

stemline (ping 35Daicos and Gibbsy) Apologies for not replying sooner, I've rarely been online over the past couple of months. Many thanks for your continued detective work on this, it's much appreciated! Following your efforts I've done some further digging as well. Although Crazy John's...

Reviving an old thread I know but it started in 1998 as the David Parkin Cup, awarded to the winning team. In 2003 it was changed to the David Parkin Medal, awarded to the Best On Ground in the first premiership match each season between Hawthorn and Carlton. A full list of winners can be found...

That article was an absolute load of click bait. Yahoo Sports as the source tells you everything you need to know! Rodgers has already extinguished any smoke before it could turn into a fire (I love his tweet featured at the bottom of this article)...

Breaking news: Jordy out and Jimmy Graham headed to Lambeau. Had a gut feeling we might snag Graham but didn't see the Jordy cut coming, was sure he'd be restructured or take a pay cut!

Great stuff, Gibbsy. Welcome aboard

A job well done, guys. It's been enjoyable following the progress of this thread and seeing this myth busted.

Match report of the Hawthorn-Richmond game in The Age (Oct.3) confirms that Hudson - along with a number of senior players - would not be making the trip to Darwin. From memory, Hudson was a FIFO (Fly-In, Fly-Out) player for the Hawks throughout 1977, managing his pub in Hobart during the week...

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...

I second that, Daics. Very sad to hear this news. Kevin was a wonderful guy and absolutely loved footy. His passion for footy stats and the game in Sydney was unsurpassed.

Hawks definitely went in with an advantage... they had played the preliminary final three weeks earlier and played Richmond the week before in a hastily arranged curtain-raiser for the GF Replay. In contrast, the Cats had missed the finals. This was their first match in six weeks.

The best way to tag Alex Marcou? Velcro

That cardigan, my word!

Oui.

A quick follow-up, just realised that Mero and I both have an earlier draft of the 1995 design on our respective sites (it has the VFA shield instead of the VFL one), that'll need to be updated!

This is an interesting one. - the embroidered "VFA" was only used on the senior rep jumper until 1990 and was then replaced by the VFA shield. - VicSafe came on board as VFA sponsors in 1995 I suspect it's actually a VFA Reserves or Under 19s rep jumper from 1995. Here's the images I used...

Thanks stemline for bringing this to our attention and 35Daicos cheers for posting that search method of the SLV digital Footy Record collection. It's cost me the past 7 hours digging up a bunch of new info... but I loved every minute of it! 2001 has now been added as the start date for the...
