GAME OF THE WEEK!?!?!?!

You have got to be kidding me. How about the most historically significant game in all of Australia. If you didn't know, Scotch and Melbourne Grammer invented Aussie Rules footy way bakc in 1858 - SC and MGS played the first game ever (Scotch did win by the way)

Surely the Cordnor Eggleston Cup (Scotch vs. Melbourne Grammer) is the match of round one. Brighton Grammer doesnt deserve such recognition or respect.

1) Scotch and Melbourne Grammar didn't play the first AFL game.
2) Scotch and Melbourne Grammar didn't invent AFL.
3) You spelt 'grammar' incorrectly.
 
Umm actually Scotch and Melbourne did play the first official australian rules football game.

The first game of its likeness was called Marn grook and was played by aboriginees over an area several miles wide, using a stuffed possum skin.

:D

oh yeah really they played the first afl game? as in the australian football league? damn shame there was no AUSTRALIAN football league around back then...
 
You do further maths don't you mate!

AFL is used as lingo to describe football buddy.

The first "football" game with ratified rules was played between Scotch and Melbourne. Now go back to fondling your cousin.
 
AFL, at the state it was in the mid 1800s, had been played for several years before that game. It simply gets called the first because it was the only one with reasonably accurate memories remaining.

As for Marn Grook, it had some influence but AFL is more of a Rugby offshoot. People just like to think that Aboriginal's invented our game as it's easier than saying 'sorry'.

You are a disgrace.
Mentioning rugby in the same sentance as aussie rules - crikey!
And the sorry comment was just lame mate. I take offence to that being aboriginal.

So Tom Wills going to Rugby School in England was just a government conspiracy?
