    Playing For ‘The Big V’ ld Brighton Grammarians Football Club has been well represented at State amateur level. Most of our VAFA representatives have donned the OBig V in comparatively recent times. For the first twenty years after Nick Walsh led the reformation of OBGFC in 1957, the opportunity for our players to represent the Association was limited. Selection for the Victorian Amateurs was largely a privilege offered to the best players in A and B sections. Comparatively few players competing below that level were afforded an opportunity. There were some notable exceptions! Imagine the pride-swelling OBG hearts, when in 1978 both John Priestley and David Shepherd were selected to play against Tasmania. Very few C Grade players were given such recognition. David thinks that John might have kicked five goals and he is pretty sure that at least a couple resulted from passes delivered ‘lace-up’ in the manner to which John was accustomed! In 1981, having just been promoted to B Grade for the first time in our history, the Tonners again saw brilliant full-forward John Priestley selected in the square for the VAFA. Giant ruck- man Tony Gedye and rover Gary Jones were also selected against South Australia and Western Australia. John, who is Old Brighton’s most prolific goal-kicker, booted ten goals against the Sandgropers in the VAFA’s smashing win. Tony thoroughly enjoyed his VAFA Rep. games, yet although he well remembers Priestley’s goal feast, other memories are blurred. He attributes that partial loss of focus to Ross Perrett, University Blacks champion rover, who was Tony’s room- mate in Adelaide! Tony reminds us that Steve Dobbie, a fourth Old Brighton Grammarian, was also in the side representing University Blues.

    E-Footy RECORD 17th May 2008 Issue 7 Editorial with Marty King AN HISTORIC AND BUSY TIME FOR EVERYONE IN QUEENSLAND FOOTBALL To say it has been a busy couple of weeks at AFL Queensland would be a massive understate- ment. It’s been quite extraordinary, and quite historic. First, I want to congratulate Tom McArthur on becoming the fi rst Queenslander inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame. Chosen in 2003 as the Umpire in the AFL Queensland Team of the Century, Tom did his State proud when he joined the likes of Kevin Sheedy and Alex Jesaulenko in the AFL spotlight in Melbourne last Thursday week. He spoke with great passion and love for Queensland football, and was a wonderful ambassador for our game. Second, I want to congratulate everyone involved with Community Football last weekend. It was a massive logistical exercise and yet it went off with barely a hitch, and was wonderfully well received by people at all levels of football. It was fantastic to see Queensland AFL players Courtenay Dempsey, Luke McGuane, Ricky Petterd and Ben Hudson fl y from Melbourne to Queensland to join the festivities, and the support we received from the entire Brisbane Lions playing list was fi rst-class. Thirdly, thanks to all who supported another successful Ladies Love AFL Lunch last Friday week at Royal on the Park. A great day was had by all. Special thanks to Lions players Simon Black, Daniel Merrett and Scott Clouston, VIP guests Sam Lukis, Melissa Lambert and Margo Bowers, and Channel 10 hosts Bill McDonald and Georgie Lewis.
