Re the hailstones game.
Robert Walls made the Bears players wear short sleeves after half time to prove how tough they were.
I thought they abandoned the little league at half time ?
But I will always remember (Paul?) Peos having a set shot at goal to the scoreboard end.
He was holding the ball with one hand and protecting his head from the hailstones with the other.
There was also another controversial match against Geelong around about 1910.
We won the game.
The scores and percentage still stand.
But the 4 points were awarded to Geelong as we played an illegal player.
He had been suspended in a country league and hence was ineligible to play.

The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.

Reminds me of a Syd v Geelong (?) game at the SCG a couple of years ago. There was a massive electrical storm late in the 2nd qtr..there was some talk of stopping the game if half time hadnt arrived. As soon as the siren went the players fled off the ground......St Chris wrote:We were taken off after about 10 minutes...but definetly got out there...Enrico_Misso wrote:Re the hailstones game.

Beautiful!!!yipper wrote:How about Rd 14 1978 - Arden St against the Roos coached by Barassi. Robert Elliott shoots for goal after the siren and with thousands of spectators on the ground whilst he coming in for his shot - the ball is touched by just about everyone on the ground before it crosses the line - however, the goal umpire (good on him!!) signals = GOAL!! We win by 5 points!! Barassi is fuming - a young yipper runs onto the ground and whilst passing the still fuming Barassi - delivers a massive sledge about where he should stick his opinion!!
