The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!

Funny you say that.
I remember when I was a wee lad, I was down at training one night when Peter Hudson was assistant coach to Kenny.
He had to pull Jack aside about his handballing. He was explaing to him that when you handball, you don't just whack it with your fist and let it float through the air.
You need the ball to spin correctly (like a drop punt) so the bloke you're handballing it to to can catch it easily.
If it's floating like a helicopter, it can be difficult to receive.
I was about 13 at the time, and was perplexed that an AFL footballer had to be pulled aside at training to have this pointed out to him!
In hindsight, now I'm perplexed that none of his previous coaches had actually told him this!
Was responsible for one of the most famous handballs in the Club's history I reckon...a FLOATING 30m effort to Cuz that set up Plugger to kick that goal v Carlton in 1989

Ballarat Boy who never managed a senior match to memory. Went to Collingwood after Saints and played twos the back home to the Ballarat league I think. I worked out with him (gym) a couple of times, he was a hard worker and a gun at local level but just not VFL standard.
Ian MULLER Carlton reject
Knee problems hampered this guy, he could really play in his early years and was as tough as nails. Currently grows garpes and (I think makes wine) up in the Shepparton district. Married a gorgeous woman. Was a hit with the ladies at the Saints Disco as he was a bit of a Christopher Reeves lookalike.
No offence Enrico but I think you use the word great a little freely!

Gee.... some class recruiting by us there...... NOT.
Remember... it was zoning back then.
How did the draft and zoning work in conjunction?
I think zoning took precedence, ie Harvey was selected by St Kilda as he was withing their zone, this selections, and others like it, took place prior to the draft taking place.
I think this meant that the draft was for those players outside of the clubs zones and those overlooked, delisted or retired etc...
