In terms of states, no. What i meant to say was that Northern NSW was also involved there. ACT (Or Federal Capital Territory as it was known then) was established in the 1920’s and an NT governing body as well in that priod

It’s a retrospective article about the last 12 months. He did prove me wrong in terms of my comments and opinion. 16 contributions in 22 games and an exciting player last season for the Jets right? Don’t know what’s underwhelming about that.
And again, with his work that he did in the regular season i think it’s fair to say the Jets mightn’t have been in as good as a position to get to a Grand Final.
Australian football's greatest players in the last year
Definitely some things to improve on Jordan.
Research is always key, facts, facts and more facts!!! but don’t stop writing. I was like you a few years ago, eager to write but sometimes it’s best just to slow down a bit and look over what you’ve written, double check, triple check all your elements and make sure everything adds up. I learnt it best to write an article if you are comfortable with all the research you’ve done that support your point. Look deeper, don’t be afraid to spend some late nights looking up archives of stats etc.
Don’t let people get you down but take some valuable lessons from it all!

BOBO WHAT A BLOODY GOAL!
