Glenelg used Ross Faulkners when I first started there in 1990.

I have a couple of old Ross Faulkners at home

Those two comments linked Tas? Did the club give you those footballs?

I pinched a Kookaburra from Stuey Palmer, when he came to our school for a Footy Clinic

Good footy, lasted years !!

Mate pre Crows the club would chuck out balls as soon as they showed some sign of wear and tear. Now they are kept for as long as possible.

Our current coach earns less than what our 1990 coach did.....

I can't talk - Kris Grant inspected smac jrs footy at Woodville earlier this year, laughed and shook his head. I told him that it is a coincidence that it is the same as the ones development squads use.

I remember the controversy in a Glenelg v North Adelaide game at the Bay in 1968 when Glenelg tired to introduce the yellow Burley ball. They tossed one onto the ground but a North Adelaide official (I think it was Sutter) grabbed the ball and kicked it into the crowd. It's amazing the little things that worry us sometimes

From the SANFL yearbook.....

"The "yellow" football introduced by Glenelg Captain-Coach Neil Kerley caused an incident between Glenelg and North Adelaide officials at Glenelg on April 27th.
During the second half whenever North's ball went over the fence, Glenelg officials endeavoured to introduce the "yellow ball" - a W.A made ball which was foreign to all league teams but Glenelg.
Eventually the chairman of North selectors Jack Sutter went on to the oval, grabbed the ball and booted it into the crowd despite a tackle from Glenelg doorkeeper George Brown."

For the record Glenelg by a point. 11-14 to 11-13.

in WA, when the ball hit the post and came back into play, it was play on? was that ever a rule and is it still a rule if it was??

Let's hope not. The most illogical 'trial' rule I can think of.

Exactly right. Hitting the goalpost is a score ... 1 point. Imagine if it's a Grand Finals, scores level, the siren has sounded, a player hits the post and no score???? You have to be kidding me.

Yeah, I remember Kookaburras coming over the fence at SANFL games in the 70s.
I had one at one stage, it got a bit waterlogged and was like kicking a bloody wet brick for most of its life.
