Listen "Episode 30 1926 Six Wonderful Minutes"
Episode Synopsis
Tragedy strikes on and off the field, bushfires burn the state and one VFL player dies due to a tetnus infection after breaking his arm in a game. 1926 had its challenges. There were also highlights, the game was faster, the scores were higher and a Grand Final was won with six wonderful minutes sealing the game. It was also the year where two men coached at one club but played for another in the same season. And, if you think that's odd, wait until you hear about the Geelong business owners who want the reigning premiers to leave the VFL.
