Sherrin Football

[asher]

Has the Sherrin always been used by the AFL/VFL?

aceman probably has a list of each ball ever used, its kicks, handballs and bounces stats, goals, behinds, oobotf's and marks. Pity he's gone.

I am pretty sure they have used Ross Faulkner balls.

I think only in South Australia.

Looks like the Sherrin has been in use since 1880. See Source , scroll down to the bottom for the Spalding write-up

We lost Aceman?

Shame, plonkers like that don't come along every day.

Where's that Brissie troll gone then?

No they come along every 3 to 4 years and want us to elect them...

So what were Aceman's stats: longevity, posts, no. of times told to use English, no. of times saying how great he was. I guess we will never find out as Aceman was the only one to ever do any stats.

I think they used to used Ross Faulkner footys in night games. Could be wrong though.

They could be the white ones that they tried for a while, when they had the night games on a Tuesday night with the VFL and some teams from interstate...but they kept going flat.
