Just watching a bit of the '66 SANFL grand final when our game was called Aussie rules. How sad the pale imitation AFL is in this era. Behold the passion of the SA crowd, the intensity of the opening exchanges and the magnificent hulk, John Tilbrook. If only we had preserved the state codes in that form with perhaps a championship of Australia to be played at the end of state GF week. The drop kick would be returned with 9 pointers on offer for goals outside the 50 metre arc. State teams could be composed of 9 players from each GF team. Week 1 would be a qualifier betw. SA and WA states and the final played the following week on the MCG versus The Big V. The Australian cricket captain could toss the coin. The rugby states could play the two curtain raisers.

Wait, it's Saturday morning in June 2020 and football is on again this afternoon.
