Australian Football Hall of Fame

So this year's induction consists of four modern day players, three of whom played with interstate teams; two SANFL players, and a commentator from WA.

I know we are a national sport, but they couldn't find one person from the first 140 years of football in Victoria who was worthy of inclusion in the Hall of Fame this year? 

It seems like the Hall of Fame is following the lead of the All Australian Team whereby SA & WA interests are over represented.

Melbourne's golden era remains massively under represented in the Hall of Fame relative to certain other clubs.

    Yes, I would think Frank 'Bluey' Adams would be one.

    I'm not sure how many 6 time premiership players there are in the hall of fame.

    Should be like the NFL and have modern and earlier eras to pick some from each year.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
