State of Play

[Bossdog 2,002]

I just happened to watch a game from 1993 on Fox last night.....It was a game Coll Vs StK at Victoria Park, normally I wouldn't bother as I dislike both teams but I really enjoyed the type of footy they played

Umpires paid free kicks when they were there........Forwards played in the forward line......The play on footy was fantastic......Players actually kicked to contests where some great high marks were taken......The advantage rule was interpreted correctly........Players stayed on the ground after they kicked a goal........Rocca, Pert, Monkhouse, Vs Lockett, Lowe, Frawley..............It was tough and hard and a few blood rules came into play.

It was the game where Winmar pulled up his jumper to show the Coll faithful the colour of his skin.

I really enjoyed the couple of hours watching......So much more than the game of footy played today

I think with all the fitness gurus regulating how many minutes players can play and GPS results have stuffed up this game of ours

Anyway.....just thought I would share.........I really miss those days

Yes the good old days.

Can you imagine what would happen if a player ran though an oppositions 1/4 time huddle these days???

He'd be taken off the ground for a rest?
