Was a 15 minute kids footy show on 7 back in the early 90s. Hosted by Garry Lyon.

Anyone ever sent anything in, or showed up for the hand pass comp or quiz?

Did send in some crap to them once... apparently it got on the show, but couldn't be arsed as a 10 year old to wake up at 7:45am on a Sunday... found out through friends at school on Monday.... ended up getting a AFL Squadron cap and one of those footys that you connected it with a string to a needle, so it would come back to you when having a kick in the park

Here's a clip from the quiz.

You've got to get that clip onto YouTube. The world needs to see Dwaynepipe taken down a peg.
 
Was digging through some old tapes today and found when I did the quiz on the show, in 95 when Gavin Brown was host. If I remember right, he took over from Gary Pert who succeeded Gary Lyon.

I munched the little kids I was up against in the quiz, they were half my size and age. End score was 14-1-0. Didn't get an NES game though.

Put the titles onto youtube for those interested, they got slightly more hi-tech.

I loved that show.

By becoming a squadron member (which was free) you got free entry to 5 afl games IIRC.

I was on the quiz version, came 2nd and won a new pair of puma football boots. 1st prize was some crappy jacket, so in my mind I won.
Think I was a member of that too, and I remember those little AFL profile CDs too.
