Earliest surviving Australian Rules footage: 1909 VFL Grand Final, South Melbourne vs Carlton

Did we "FIX" that Grand Final? Or was it the following year?

Either way, there was still too much flooding to my liking - even way back in 1909




Looks like the maggots didn't know much about illegal disposal back then either. :wink:



It seems like the overhead flick pass, almost tennis serve like, was not only legal but de rigueur.

There is a cheese matured with fly maggots in a town in Italy.

It is eaten with the maggots still alive and crawling. A delicacy apparently.

Wasn't there, but do remember it being a warm day (probably hotter crammed into the ground) and Ashman was BOG after threatening to walk out (to Norf) over a pay dispute during the week, and Percy finally being allowed to play after not getting down to the exact required weight the week before, as dictated by Jezza (so it's your fault you didn't get to 250, Perc :grin: ).

I was wandering around at a school fete, getting updates from various people with radios.

We were 22 points down in the 3rd (or last?) and looking at losing to Norf twice in the season, but then we got it together. The flag felt a cert after that.

Great day, great year.



I've probably got that trailing margin confused with the winning one, but it was something similar, I'm sure.

(Yes, it matters...who wants to remember all the details of, say, 2002? :oops: )
