Lots of great names and memories shared so far. In many cases can be accused of a bunch of old pharts remembering things as being better than they really were, but dammit, in this case we are absolutely right! I remember an AFL game where one goal line was under a few inches of water; you could not see any of the linemen's feet. At one point, someone dislodged a shoe from the mire and threw it to the sideline. No one bothered to replace it.
Richard - another thing to add to your list was the goal posts being on the goal line, where God intended them to be. Also, along with high tops and the beautiful single-bar face mask, there were shoulder pads and the iconic, brown, Schutt cow-catcher face mask.
