North Adelaide

I should have sent this a few days ago, but 12 months after Propaganda Round...

That is, Saturday the 13th of June 1953, the Sandfull sent Norwood and reigning premiers North Adelaide to play at the SCG for premiership points.

I don't know why, but Shannon might be able to find out.

Maybe the Australian National Football Council offered money to the Sandfull, like it did in 1952, to the VFL to help spread the game in Sydney, given 24,000 attended Richmond versus Collingwood.

North Adelaide won 19-15-129 to Norwood 15-15-104 and 19,000 attended the game at the SCG.

So a favorable comparison with Richmond and Collingwood from a year earlier.

It's pretty good.

"Well, I didn't get it on this occasion"

... whether they were politely given a heads-up or they got wind of it and it's like, "Stuff you." Like, when I was going to get sacked from North Adelaide, I had to go up there with three guys.

The two before me got sacked.

I knew what was coming.

So some teams, I think...

I think North Adelaide were really young.

They had one player over 23, and I think the average was four, and I think the highest team had five or six.

Now, if you've got players coming back from injury, you're allowed to apply for an exemption.

I haven't been sacked by as many stations as people think.

I was made redundant at nine, sacked from Triple M, that's true, and sacked from North Adelaide.

Everyone's been sacked.

I've been sacked a couple of times, Kimbo.
