:D How about the best of all !!!! THE SATURDAUY NIGHT PINK SPORTING GLOBE!! the final scores of all VFA games even the report of goal kickers and best players and BEST of all the ladder. mostly by 7.15pm same night, you could buy the GLOBE ( i think about 6d or 5 cents) then go to the then pictures at HAMPTON SOUTHERN HOYTS theatre and watch the pictures knowing all about the footy. This happened in the 1950's great for those days when all footy was on Saturday. go zebs zebra :D

I remember the pink Sporting Globe. I also remembering catching the red rattlers to Westgarth Station for Northcote matches. North Port for Port Melbourne matches. The channel 0 match of the day with scores from all other grounds in both divisions. Speaking of the Sandringham v Oakleigh relegation match in 1976. That was fare dinkum footy. Cocciardi from got poleaxed. Alf Beus cleaned up Goodman from Oakleigh. There was a few brawls on the field as well as off the field. The fence copped it as well. Huge crowd as this game. Zebraman I have a bit of footage from this game. Have about 40 minutes of footage from channel 10. Will come around to where you stand next Sunday for the Sandy v Frankston clash otherwise get Zebra Dave to point us out. I will be in the social club at half time.

Bring back Norm Yemm and the Dandy Dollar Dash. Norm Yemm to present the winner with his Homicide Pork Pie Hat. Bring back the Marching Girls and the Footscray Hyde Street Band. Bring back floggers and streamers Maybe a VFA long kicking competition with players wearing old VFA guernseys including all defunct clubs. Hope there is a decent crowd on Sunday. My estimate is around 12,000. Any more is a bonus.
