You look at some of the names to miss out on that 1986 Vic side. No doubt they were at different points of their careers and guys that made it deserved selection, but some big names nonetheless.Foxtel showing VIC v WA from 1986. I still say SOG was the best level of footy the game has seen.
I have fond memories of racing home from school for the WA games which usually started around 3:30 - 4 pm our time (for unknown reasons).
Had forgotten how good Maurice Rioli was - talk about a Rolls-Royce.
The likes of Daicos, Hawkins, Wallace, Lockett, Flower, S. Madden, Johnston, and Langford were all in the squad.
And Ablett didn't play that year either. I'm not sure why.
