Thanks, Rhett. Will do

Thanks for that, 35Daicos . I dug out the earliest copy I have (from back when they still had representative/interstate stats in the AFL guide)... turns out Richards and Jenkins were part of the Grand Final/Exhibition medallists list then as well. Richards in 1946 should remain there but...

I've just unearthed an error in the official list of Simpson Medal winners for WA state games. 1947 - Frank Jenkins (South Fremantle) is shown in WAFL published records and online as B.O.G. in a South Fremantle vs Essendon match. The AFL season guide and Wikipedia have the same info...

Quick update - all rep/interstate match results (except Tassie intrastate) for seasons 1930-49 have now been uploaded to: www.hardballget.net/rep-matches.html Enjoy!

G'Day All, long time, no post. Hope everyone's been doing well. I've just uploaded to HardBallGet match results for every* representative and interstate game covering the period 1877-1929. Quarter-by-quarter scores, venues, dates, crowds for around 1000 games, listed by decade. *(Tasmanian...

G'day All, FYI - Gibbsy has put together a detailed history of the Gardiner Medal, the VFL Reserves' Best & Fairest award. https://www.hardballget.net/afl-reserves-gardiner-medal.html The article includes a tonne of previously unpublished info including: - top 3 placings 1923-99 -...

This State practice match was a pretty cool one-off event and the first trial of the "Allies" concept for State of Origin. It was played during the VFL finals as a warm-up for the end-of-season State of Origin Carnival, and Victoria had a makeshift leadership set-up: *Tom Hafey (Victoria's...

Top work on this, mate. And that poster is seriously cool!

Plans changed quite a bit by the looks of that. One thing that stands out to me is no mention of the Australian Amateurs. Highly unusual as they'd been involved in every Section Two championships since 1950. It's just a theory but maybe they were initially overlooked for 1979 because of the...

The 1979 Section Two championships consisted of 5 matches, held in July/Aug/Oct. The team rankings were based on final placings in the previous national championships held in 1974/75. PRELIMINARY ROUND: Queensland (1974 Section 2 national champions) bypassed the preliminary round. SF1 - July...

1903 - light fingers in the outer at Princes Park...

The most I'm aware of in the VFA is Johnny Walker (Williamstown, 1952). He needed 13 and kicked 16 to finish on 103. Then Laurie Nash (Camberwell, 1939) who needed 11, kicked 11, finished on 100. Jack Douglas (Brighton, 1947) needed 7, kicked 8, finished on 101. ------------------- A few...

I second that, absolute head-scratcher that it's taken this long to induct him but better late than never

How's the chicken legs on Peter Landy!!!!

stemline (ping 35Daicos and Gibbsy) Apologies for not replying sooner, I've rarely been online over the past couple of months. Many thanks for your continued detective work on this, it's much appreciated! Following your efforts I've done some further digging as well. Although Crazy John's...
