Older son Trevor Russell played for Hamilton in the Western Border FL whilst younger son Tony played for South Warrnambool in the Hampden FL.

Tony also broke the Hampden FL goalkicking record set in 1930.

Tony and Trevor both played in the Interleague game between Hampden and Western Border. Both played a full forward and Tony got 7 whilst Trevor bagged 5 goals.

I written before about game rigging at Ouyen in 1930 and I think I've come across another game.

11/8/1928
The last game between Warracknabeal and Minyip in 1928. Warracknabeal needed a big win in the last round in a bid to get fourth place. They won 31.22 to 4.6 and displaced Murtoa.

In 1966, Werribee staged a football carnival leading into Grand Final week. A highlight of this was a match between past players of Werribee and it's predecessors and the team Werribee had at that particular moment.

The match had 2 field umpires controllling the match.

This promts me to ask, is this the first time 2 field umpires were used in a match of any description? ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Pazza1) http://footypedia.yuku.com/topic/492 Sun, 01 Feb 2004 21:03:33 GMT http://footypedia.yuku.com/topic/473/t/Yearly-Anecdotes.html
When I eventually get around to printing a book about footy history - this is what I'll be doing.

I'll be starting it with a reflection - on the very first recorded game of football in 1858 between Scotch College and Melbourne Grammar, and at the same time reflecting on the game between the two schools in the present day (yep - they still play against each other!)

Then I'll be doing a year by year thing from 1877 to the present day, saying briefly what club was... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (timelord44) http://footypedia.yuku.com/topic/473 Sun, 28 Dec 2003 16:49:21 GMT http://footypedia.yuku.com/topic/493/t/The-madness-of-1951.html In the last match verses Tyntynder ( I think) Lake Boga's captain withdrew his team 11 minutes into the 3rd Quarter. His reason was that the game was getting to rough and he feared an all in brawl was about the happen. Last thing he needed was to have injured or suspended players for the finals.
The League's delegates responded by cancelling all point Lake Boga won... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Simon Todman) http://footypedia.yuku.com/topic/493 Sun, 28 Dec 2003 06:11:58 GMT http://footypedia.yuku.com/topic/475/t/How-to-lose-a-Premiership.html
How to lose a premiership without trying.

1. Play an ineligible player. Beeac lost the flag in 1938 by playing a player who was in breach of the rules. He had played in another league at the start of the season.

2. Forfeit the match. As minor premiers and using the right to challenge then not turn up. Carlisle River did this in 1934... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Simon Todman) http://footypedia.yuku.com/topic/475 Thu, 18 Dec 2003 06:24:26 GMT http://footypedia.yuku.com/topic/485/t/Win-flag-then-disband.html
Mingay 1924 (Western Plains FA)
Berrybank 1936 ( Western Plains FL)

I remember a team in the wimmera won two in a row then disbanded in the 1990's. This team was bankrolled by the locals and most of the players were out of towners. After winning the first the locals decided one more time so they bankrolled again for the second flag. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Simon Todman) http://footypedia.yuku.com/topic/485 Fri, 24 Oct 2003 04:30:42 GMT http://footypedia.yuku.com/topic/494/t/NTFA-unusual-snippets.html
1933 - four teams competed, Longford finished fourth and missed finals. Longford scored 1480 points for the season...about 140 more than any other side!


1947 - no reports lodged by umpires during entire season.

1967 - six teams competed but only one finished season with a percentage of 100 or more! ]]> feeds@yuku.com (rossfootball) http://footypedia.yuku.com/topic/494 Thu, 02 Oct 2003 06:16:19 GMT http://footypedia.yuku.com/topic/487/t/A-Scoreless-game.html feeds@yuku.com (Simon Todman) http://footypedia.yuku.com/topic/487 Thu, 18 Sep 2003 05:10:06 GMT http://footypedia.yuku.com/topic/488/t/A-round-of-matches-was-postponed-because-.html the King died!

This happened in many areas I expect in 1910 when King Edward VII died. The news came through overnight or early on the Saturday morning. Most 'senior' leagues postponed their matches, but the Northern Tasmanian Football Association did not.

In late 19th C. and early 20th C. the NTFA postponed rounds due to clashing with special Brass Band contests, trotting meetings etc.

Seems really odd to us now...but is a reflection of society at the time. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (rossfootball) http://footypedia.yuku.com/topic/488 Tue, 09 Sep 2003 02:01:57 GMT http://footypedia.yuku.com/topic/476/t/Play-in-our-match-was-interrupted-by-.html a dog coming onto the field and burying a 'hot dog' !
This happened at North Hobart Oval during the 1947 ANFC Carnival.

I've also been told that a steer escaped from the cattle holding yards at the Launceston Railways site, jumped a fence onto York Park and ran across the field during play in an NTFA Reserves match (possibly in late 1950s).

A few years ago whilst reading through newspapers on microfilm I recall seeing reference to an umpire abandoning a West Tamar FA game... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (rossfootball) http://footypedia.yuku.com/topic/476 Tue, 09 Sep 2003 01:56:32 GMT http://footypedia.yuku.com/topic/495/t/There-was-a-Sydney-Club-before-the-Sydney-Swans-.html feeds@yuku.com (Unregistered(d)) http://footypedia.yuku.com/topic/495 Mon, 08 Sep 2003 21:44:31 GMT
