At scouts we played rustlers in the dark on an oval. Same game but at night. Had to stop it when one player left a full body imprint in the turf wicket in the middle of the oval. He tripped on the rope protecting the wicket area.

Must have been out of the loop.![]()
Yup, that’s how I broke my right shoulder blade when I was about 12. Red rover at night on a cattle paddock. A couple of hours drive from the nearest hospital. Ended up in a figure of 8 strapping for a couple of months.?At scouts we played rustlers in the dark on an oval. Same game but at night.

As a year or two older, I’m not as ready to embrace codger status just yet.Too kind Briz, too kind.
Fair enough, I certainly feel like an Ole Codger sometimes.As a year or two older, I’m not as ready to embrace codger status just yet.
They were similar, according to my increasingly crusty memory. British Bulldog was just a free for all - you decided when you ran into the middle. Red rover was when you were called. There was also variants that incorporated elements of Brandy and Dodgeball.Yeah… I remember calling out “Red rover,red rover, can I come over.” And only one person ran first yeah? Then the rest of us? Gee I’m getting all my memories mixed up.![]()
Update: it was played last night in the U9s training before my daughter's - bull rush was the name.I played it under both names, it really depended on who was organising.
My kid has played it at Aussie Rules training, but I don't recall what they called it.![]()
Red Rover (Queensland name) and British Bulldog (Victorian name) are conceptually the same game as both require a player to travel across their opponents' space without being 'caughtI am a reasonably Ole Codger and I have never heard of it.

Red Rover was what I knew it as in Sth Aus circa late 60's. Brandy was the go then as well.Red Rover (Queensland name) and British Bulldog (Victorian name) are conceptually the same game as both require a player to travel across their opponents' space without being 'caught
We will do well then to avoid a percentage stoush with the teams playing on the Sunday (ie Freo).View attachment 2070777
Round 24 locked in for us on the Saturday night against the Bombers per Midweek Tackle
Hopefully we've locked up first or second by the Sunday so the results are meaningless other than determining who our opponent will be in first week of finals.We will do well then to avoid a percentage stoush with the teams playing on the Sunday (ie Freo).

Good ol' Queensland Rail scheduling major weekend track works for that weekend lol
23 games means 6 double ups does it not?Obviously at the start of the season, the fixture was pretty daunting, but its interesting when you look at who are double ups were as to where they sit in the various categories i.e 1-6 / 7 - 12 / 13 - 18.
From 2023 it worked out that our double ups were:
1-6 x 2 = Collingwood & GWS
7-12 x 2 = Melbourne & Adelaide
13-18 x 1 = Gold Coast
As its worked out in 2024 with two rounds to go:
1-6 x 1 = GWS
7-12 x 2 = Collingwood & Gold Coast
13-18 x 1 = Melbourne & Adelaide
It does, edited my post above - forgot the Saints.23 games means 6 double ups does it not?
Not hard to do really...- forgot the Saints.
