But that would mean an unfair competition

Is there any sporting competition that has certain games that don't count for points?

Not sure, but Glenelg certainly played their last two games of the season as if they didn’t count for points...

I think this game was a curtain raiser to the elimination final, as both sides has the first week of the finals off as they finished top and were looking to fill the footy void. I think Sturt lost Melbourne recruit Gary Hardeman due to an injury sustained in this game. Managed to find some footage of it:therisingblues wrote:North and Norwood played an exhibition game in Sydney in the 1950s. Not sure if this was during the season proper, or pre-season.
This was a proper match, round 8 of the 1953 season. Newsreel footage in the link below, with some amusing commentary.

That free was from a kick in from the full back after a point had been scored. It has always been a free to the opposition in that circumstance if the ball goes out of bounds without it being touched.
