Deipite a general acceptance of the system by the football clubs, a thorough statistical examination of this system is yet to be undertaken. It is the aim of this paper to examine the new system and to compare it to the previous Mcintyre Final Eight system. In 1931, the "Page Final Fo ur" system was put into place for the AFL finals. As the number of teams in the competition grew, so to did the number of finalists. The "Mcintyre Final Five" was introduced in 1972, and a system involving six teams was in place in 1991.

    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.

The loss of three keys players during the season from the 1st XI, Will Long due to work commitments, Andrew McGorian due to injury and Riz Chhabra, had a ripple effect through all sides. Cam Christensen did an excellent job as coach of the club and was ably assisted by Mark Quinn and John Watkin. It was great to have Mark and John at the club as they are great role models for the younger players. The second half of the season saw Ben Cavey appointed to assist Cam. Ben fitted into the role very well and was a great asset to the coaching panel.

  • Aboriginal Rules: the Black History of Australian Football Abstract
    Original Articles Aboriginal Rules: The Black History of Australian Football Full access ArticleDoiMeta DOI:10.1080/09523367.2015.1124861 Sean Gormana*, Barry Juddb, Keir Reevesc, Gary Osmondd, Matthew Klugmane & Gavan McCarthyf Abstract This paper is interested in the significance of Australian football to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of Australia. In particular, this paper is interested in the cultural power of football and how it has foregrounded the struggle and highlighted the contribution that Indigenous people have made to the national football code of Australia. This paper also discusses key moments in Indigenous football history in Australia. It questions further that a greater understanding of this contribution needs to be more fully explored from a national perspective in order to appreciate Indigenous peoples’ contribution to the sport not just in elite competitions but also at a community and grass roots level. Introduction What may have begun as a simple forgetting of other possible views turned under habit and over time into something like a cult of forgetfulness practised on a national scale. W.E.H. Stanner 1968.1 Graham ‘Polly’ Farmer is regarded as one of the best exponents of Australian Rules football. This was due to his abilities and innovative play that reshaped the game. Specifically, his agility and his long, quick handballs became great attacking manoeuvres that complemented Geelong’s potent midfield.2 Yet there is a distinct aspect to Farmer’s story that many historians and sports journalists do not know about, have forgotten or simply ignore. That is Farmer may never have had this illustrious career, if not for a vital change in Western Australia’s labour policies in 1952.
