Good news for @Richmond_FC Jeff Hogg who gains an extra goal in his career and now has 307 gls.
Bad news for Craig Smith who loses 1 goal and his career is now 22.
The Footy Record printed wrong goalkicker for Rd 6 1986. Footage shows Hogg's goal. (h/t Connor7395 on BF thread)
I'd like to take this chance to wish Australian sports broadcasting legend Dennis Cometti a very happy 70th birthday!
Cometti began the #Electrifying80s broadcasting sport on @ABCGrandstand & also coached @WestPerthFC between 1982-84. He moved to @7AFL in 1986. @MarkSilvaback
Two of the best forwards in the game during the #Electrifying80s came together one magic winter Saturday in 1989 as a star-studded Victorian outfit defeated SA at the @MCG.
Tony Lockett booted five goals and @DermBrereton23 came off the bench to help the Vics to an 86-point win.
@CamSchwab@melbournefc@HawthornFC@AFLcomau@AFL@VFLPark Both those guys are legends! But see both those players show that the script in Aussie Rules football or even sport in general couldn't even be imagined by the most innovative of Hollywood minds. One had arguably the most successful career ever, the other filled with heartbreak.
My take on an unforgettable football moment. The game stood still. I watched Robbie Flower up close, and always surprised he not in the conversation as one of the best ever. His performance in State of Origin set him apart. Draw on an iPad
What do we say when we run out to play? DARE TO BEAT THE BEAR.
Outstanding from @brisbanelions getting these made. Purchased it straight away. #takemymoney
DG: '[The Road Traffic Authority is] an outfit with a health message & they are interested obviously in the health of the community. I would have thought it was consistent with their ideology. which is to ensure that the clubs they sponsor have a responsibility to health issues.'
In light of the Brownlow policy change & subsequent 3 tied counts this decade, @CollingwoodFC great Harry Collier has called on the VFL to award him & 7 other players (including @FootscrayVFL's Allan Hopkins) retrospective Medals (lost on countback). Do you agree with Collier?
FULL TIME: @CarltonFC 14.11 (95) @FootscrayVFL 8.14 (62) - Blues find an extra gear in the last term, as Mark Athorn is reported by umpire Peter Cameron for striking @CarltonFC's Dominic Fotia in the closing stages . #VFLBluesDogs
That's a wrap from @VFLPark - @FootscrayVFL bowing out of the @PanasonicAU Cup. However, as we return to the practice match circuit, we look forward to meeting @CarltonFC again in Round 1 at Princes Park, in exactly 1 month from today. #VFLBluesDogs
To respond to what I just saw trending, i.e. #The80sIn5Words - for me, as the @FootscrayFC1989 #Admin, there can only be 1 choice: MERGE OAKLEY INTO OUTER SPACE!
Wishing a very happy 53rd birthday to the 1987 joint Brownlow medallist and one of the greatest Australian Rules footballers of all time in Tony "Plugger" Lockett!
