Great game ...

[Dogwatcher]

of course, Phillips and Bishop did the bashing!

Darryl Scott - an 'allrounder' from sturt, is that right?

I remember the SA vs Tas game at Footy Park. The uniforms from that era are just great. Bright red and gold for SA and green and gold for Tasmania, and yes I remember the cold night and the cold was so much more at Footy Park back in those days, especially when the next person was 50m away
