I love that they started training in mid March (although the season didn't commence until late April or early May back then). Now even local footy teams start pre-season in November!

Far out. 1936 is 80 years ago. When I was a kid 80 years ago was the 1890s!

Times have sure changed.
Quote:
The smoke night or smoke social was a predominantly Australian form of male only social event in late nineteenth and early twentieth century Australasia.
Large groups of Australian men gathered in a venue to smoke tobacco together in what they termed a smoke night. These lasted until the early 1940s. These events were socially significant, and often coupled with a formal dinner, an annual general meeting or a musical revue. While the full spectrum of Australian men participated in smoke socials—from Parliamentarians through to Port Kembla workers—the smoke night held an allure of classy behaviour and social respectability for participating men. Smoke socials were run by football clubs, charitable organizations, civic organizations, trade unions, and governments.

No girls.
As my son would say "that's not homo-erotic at all"

Was out at the shops today and I got a praise for my 2016 WB Mark knight t shirt. The person had a Bulldog cap on.

My Grandmother gave me this 40 odd years ago.
I was wondering if anyone on WOOF has seen one of these elsewhere or if they know the origin of it?
