Old school footy

First Grader
Just been watching the good old 80’s and 90’s games with the Eels magic backline and Dogs rugged forward pack....how that Tigers side did not win a comp is beyond me, but I like it.
The score were 12-8 or 22- 6 and earlier more 10-3 or 15 - 7....but the rugged contact is massive and the tackles were hit and stick, none of this wrestling/dancing crap.
Also early shifts out wide...switches of play and the support play better than today imo.
There was not s safety first mentallity dominated by statistics, more natural talent that was a surprise for the supporters.
Gotta say...will always love my footy, but the old school games are hard to beat...
