In 1966, the game of Australian rules football was very different.

The premier competition was the Victorian Football League. Twelve teams based in Victoria all playing on a Saturday afternoon on suburban grounds. Grounds that were often muddy & wet.

The game controlled by one umpires was a stop / start affair.. Players playing in set positions on the field. Drop kicks, flat punts and the coaches message .......... "do not handball on the backline"

This episode is simply a snap shot of the game at a point in time.

Who were the clubs & their supporter base. How had they fared to date. Who were favoured in 1966.

It turns out the best teams of the year were Collingwood, St Kilda, Geelong & Essendon. Who would prevail and how was the game broadcast to the fans.

Brings bad fond memories of childhood.
