It's not the first time incorrect answers have appeared, but there's a clanger in last weekend's Record. Question 7: Alan Poore won the 1965 and 1966 JJ Liston Trophy whilst playing for WAVERLEY.
Quite obviously Mr Lee needs to check facts.
As part of it's centenary year celebrations, the VFA ran a knock out competition featuring all 20 teams. An almost complete set of results are set out below:
Qualifying Round
(Featured the teams that finished 3rd to 10th in the 2nd division in 1976 and was played the week prior to the first round of the season proper).
Yarraville 23.16.154 d Northcote 3.2.20 *
Camberwell 25.12.162 d Waverley 11.11.77
Werribee 19.17.131 d Box Hill 10.10.70
Frankston 12.22.94 d Sunshine 10.19.79
In response to a query on this site, the VFA ran a lightning premiership in seasons 1972 to 1979, featuring the teams that didnt make the finals.
It was straight knock out, and started with the 2nd division. The winner of the 2nd division then joined the 3 remaining 1st division sides in the semi finals.
In 1975 Northcote became the first 2nd div side to make the grand final, and in 1978 Werribee went one better by actually winning the grand final.
Premiers were as follows:
The first meeting between a current SANFL & VFA Club was in 1886
1/7/1886 Williamstown 4.6 d South Adelaide 1.7 at williamstown
Is the Zebra Story published 1986 a good book?
I have Terry Keenans books
I now have most of Marc Fiddian's books, except the prahran, preston and oakleigh books as I cant find them in second hand shops.
If anyone knows Marc plese him for some reason the copywright to them doesnt seem to belong to him
Everyone I speak to says I am going to hit nothing but brick walls regarding the VFA history and any records - people either wont help or those that can are dead. Nobody can tell me where annual reports for the association are so I can only presume they are in someones garage and will die with them.
One historian suggested the VSFL may have even shut the VFA down out of spite.
Ken Gannon is dodging me like he is Doug Nicholls. Most club historians are past caring.... and shocked that someone from adelaide cares.
Wanted reel to reel (that plays Long Play)
Can anyone help here. I have several audio reels that were taped from channel 0 between 1972 and 75. The guy that taped these games did not have a video recorder so he taped them on reel to reel (audio only). I have got hold of a reel to reel recorder but unfortunately it does not play Long Play. I would only need to borrow it for 2 weeks.
Here are the list of games that need to be converted to CD format.
