continuing my look at old afl.
it starts with an old joke about how hard it is to get water in the regions (note this is over 100 years ago). one of the weird things back than is the position of the goal posts as in east and west or noth and ssouth fitzroys freake still leads with 17 goals in the goalkicking.
