Something I’ve never really written about in this column is the humble ticket book. Modern-day football supporters are used to getting into the ground by paying at the gate or showing a plastic card to the attendant (perhaps having a hole punched out of that card). But in days gone by, club members would be issued a book full of tear-out tickets at the start of the year. These would be used to get into the ground, so you didn’t want to lose them. The same system was used at most of the WAFL and VFL grounds for many years. Today, the old VFL ticket books can sell for now-demolished 1936 stand for all games at the club’s Hall of Fame and elevated another hundreds of dollars, especially if they date to the ground until the 1990s, including finals eight to legend status.

  • Gippsland Power Last Injury Before and While Dealing with the Initial Shock Week
    VFL Round 5 TAC Cup Round 6 7 - 8 May 2016 $3.00 Photo: Brian Bartlett Exciting time in women’s football The future is bright in women’s football and full of opportunities. Over the last week the next generation of female footballers have taken to the field in the annual Youth Girls National Championships. The Grand Final was played Friday night as a curtain- raiser to the Richmond vs Hawthorn AFL game at the MCG, and fingers crossed we saw a Victorian team holding aloft the Championship trophy at the end of the game. Whatever the result though, in a few years’ time names like Katherine Smith, Izzy Huntington, Georgina Walker and Lily Mithen are likely to be names we hear called on a regular basis at venues like the MCG in the national women’s league. Anticipation has been at fever pitch over recent weeks with AFL clubs confirming their intentions to apply for a licence, with an AFL women’s competition set to kick off in early 2017. Submissions closed at the end of April and it was pleasing to see the coverage given to the host of applications in the lead-up to the deadline. Victoria will field the most teams of any state, which will be just reward for those local players that are draft ed to the yet-to-be-determined teams in our state. While they wait, it is the fans that get to enjoy these players week in, week out in our VFL Women’s and VWFL competitions before they become household names across Australia.
