Who is the real father of Australian Rules Football?

What positions did God, the King and Captain Blood play? How did Ron Barassi rev up the Blues at half-time in the 1970 Grand Final? Why did Nicky Winmar show the Collingwood crowd the colour of his skin? What’s a little mark? Or a shirtfront?

About the Author

Paula Hunt broke her father’s Swan heart when she announced, at the age of four, she was a Blue. It was the start of a life long passion for the game of Australian Rules. At the end of the last millennium Paula finished a lengthy stint as a manager in corporate Australia then decided there just wasn’t enough football in her career. Now, as Jezza Bella, she writes a weekly column about the Blues in The Melbourne Times and works on Health and Safety at the Mecca of football, the MCG. She waits expectantly for next season.
