I think it was the late 60s sometime. I can find out.

I think it was a VFA innovation, although I stand corrected on that.

BTW, I am still well on the correct side of 50.

Quite possibly so, I was pretty young at the time.

All I can remember is going to the local footy and seeing the ball sail miles over the boundary line on the full and it being thrown back in.

I also remember the central umpire calling for a bounce and bouncing it before you could blink an eye - unlike these days.
