My VFA team was Port because of Fred Cook. Went to a few VFA finals at the Junction Oval as a 12-13 year old with friends and brothers.They were wild affairs,on and off the field.Great days!
I remember when I was seven year old, going to Port Melbourne finals games watching Fred Cook. I was behind the goals throwing paper in the air. Great times. 1975.
That’s awesome that Lloyd’s idol was super boot. His career finished before I was born but he a was one of the best forwards in the 70’s & 80’s before Lockett, Ablett & Dunstall. Kicking 70 meter drop punts with pretty good accuracy. Now guy’s like McKay from Carlton 30 meters out in front of goal snapping from where he’s standing
Believe it or not,i saw Graham Cornes and his wife one weekday evening,a few days after he'd played his last game for North Melbourne,at Luna Park,of all places.I wonder if he was deciding his future that night.
The SANFL was all we loved in Adelaide. We did see a highlights package every weekend on the VFL, but it was all about OUR footy ! And for some of us, it still is the SANFL !
That wasn't my experience. I had to do a year of high school in Adelaide in 1982 when my father was transferred there to manage a new office for 12 months. The locals I knew couldn't get enough of the VFL - and everyone had a VFL team they supported. I adopted Norwood at the time.
@@KennyTC63 That sounds like a truly unique experience, and no doubt it would have felt like home. However I've been following the SANFL since 1972, and as Blightly once told Mike Sheahan "It was all about the Adelaide footy". We had "The Winners" on a Sunday night that showed a highlights package from across the border. The VFL scores were mentioned after the SANFL league, reserves and mini league on the news. Little to no mention in the newspaper of the VFL. We were all way too into the SANFL. For me it still is. No Crows, No Power.......the SANFL reigns supreme in our household !
@@harvesteroftone5473 Shame, as our league (SANFL) is absolutely kicking goals (pun intended) at the moment despite little media presence. Long live the SANFL/WAFL !
@@frankmachin5438 Average bloke, too, by all accounts. He did play with Footscray in the 60s so while he was above the level in the VFA, he wouldn't have played 200 games in the league.
Port Melbourne best team in the VFA, 17 premierships. Fred Cook 3rd highest goal kicker of any elite footy competition. Thr mighty Port Melbourne Borough!
Just shows the strength of the team. I always thought Jim was marginally better, and he was named in the forward pocket. Phil didn't make North's team of the century either. Jim was named on the bench. For the Indigenous TOC, Phil would have been up against Nicky Winmar or Syd Jackson for a half forward role. I'm not old enough to have seen Syd Jackson, but yeah I would have had Phil marginally ahead of Winmar. No way Phil knocks off Matera or Michael Long off a wing.
@@davidbradshaw3303 I'm commenting without seeing the team....and saw Jackson but was too young to remember anything about him. Must say I'm surprised that Phil isn't there...must go check it out. Nicky Winmar is one of the best 5 players I've ever seen and starts on the wing in my 18.
Such a Melbourne take 🙄 "Nice to have all 18 teams here" "Sad what happened to Fitzroy" (erm moved to Brisbane?) These blokes would love it if the entire game was a circle jerk within 10km of the MCG
@@windyhillbomber Like God - Ablett Snr or Pontiff. GODRA - Modra. I always heard LLOYD!! during commentary or the crowd refering to him as LLLLoyd or Lloydy. This Llordo is a Sunday footy show panel thing but I do know what you mean. He Lorded over his opponents therefore LLordo. Still sounds funny though.
Why are you only reporting on the history of 20% of the footy public? Didn’t you Victorian’s want to expand the Comp and therefore your market? Don’t get it. But who cares anything outside of Victoria? 80% of your market.
VFA the original comp from 1871. A big upheaval when teams left in 1896 to form the VFL. Rivalry was fierce but the VFL won out with even more teams leaving the VFA for the VFL like Richmond, StKilda, North Melbourne and Footscray. Williamstown poaching the top Collingwood goal kicker Ron Todd was big news and attracted big crowds to Williamstown matches and helped them win multi premierships.
Lyndon thought he was tough but would not have survived in the VFA;player’s were not tough just brutal;how do I know cos Iwas a small player in the VFA era😂
I love Lloydo, 99% of the time in these vids he makes really great contributions, he's also a very likeable bloke
Didn't like as a player (Sydney fan) but he suits the footy show awesome probably the best panelist after Billy has gone

Maybe 60 metre drop punts.
Beers helped with muscle relaxation.
The days when every Port kid wore number 5 on the back of their Port jumper.
Big fan of the segment. On ya lloydy
Fred Cooke What a Legend ! !

@@ruffian1868 Unfortunately the SANFL and the WAFL are just feeder leagues now. All the best talent goes to the AFL.

If Freddie had've been able to kick straight he would've got 2000 goals. That was a good example of his wobbly punts.
It seemed like he got a million anyway. Just a class above.
Yeah saw him miss from the top of the goal square. Average kick but took so many marks that he still kicked plenty
@@frankmachin5438 Average bloke, too, by all accounts. He did play with Footscray in the 60s so while he was above the level in the VFA, he wouldn't have played 200 games in the league.
I had no idea Lordo! Willy are having their ‘Team of the 1990’s’ night in a couple weeks, they should all be there, you should come down!
VFA, Fred, Frosty etc tough footy, tough men great time of life…
Port Melbourne best team in the VFA, 17 premierships. Fred Cook 3rd highest goal kicker of any elite footy competition. Thr mighty Port Melbourne Borough!
Vics strocking there egos
Typical uneducated Sth Australian . It's ' their ' not there
Jerry Cameron is this generations Fred cook

Does anyone know why Phil Krakouer didn't make the Indigenous Team Of The Century??!

It was hawkins who said are u busy😅
Why he is called “llordo” and not “Lloydy” is such a sin
Yeah, I can't get my head around that.
Probably because he lorded over anyone who played on him.
@@windyhillbomber LOL..what does that mean?
@@stavio12 he owned them

I'm biased but Matty Lloyd is such a good guy who can laugh at himself.... and take a joke.... good panel overall really except for Barrett the germ.
Damo is a good man.
Right on the tip of my tongue....

Yesterdays game was so slow and todays too congested.
Was the VFA a rival comp to the VFL or a feeder comp ?
VFA the original comp from 1871.
A big upheaval when teams left in 1896 to form the VFL.
Rivalry was fierce but the VFL won out with even more teams leaving the VFA for the VFL like Richmond, StKilda, North Melbourne and Footscray.

Good question an unofficial feeder to the VFL.
Rival comp with its own rules.
Does watching nrl state of origin make you guys wish you'd done a better job of it when afl had origin ?
@@yehbuddy1005 yeeah naaaaah
Yeah footy only was played in Victoria. How bad is the commentary. AFL LOL
Quailan irish man
When footy was footy...Certainly what it IS NOT Today...I can't watch the game ANYMORE...🤬
Agree 100%.
Lighten up yesterdays game was so slow but todays is too congested.
