Results and statistics for the '''[[VFL/AFL]] season of 1968'''.


[[SM City Sta. Mesa]], formerly called '''SM Centerpoint''' is a shopping mall located in [[Metro Manila]] in the [[Philippines]]. It was the 2nd SM Supermall opened on [[September 28]], [[1990]] and owned by [[SM Prime Holdings]] within a land area Of 30,000 m² and a floor area of 133,327 m². It can be found at the intersection of [[Ramon Magsaysay]] Boulevard and [[Araneta Avenue]] in [[Quezon City]] but it's not considered as the 3rd SM Mall located in Quezon City. The mall is located very near the boundaries of Quezon City, San Juan City and in Manila. The mall had gone some major renovations in the end of 2005 and was relaunched in mid-2006 commerorating SM Sta. Mesa's 15th Anniversary.
==Premiership season==
In 1968, the VFL competition consisted of twelve teams of 18 on-the-field players each, plus two substitute players, known as the '''19th man''' and the '''20th man'''. A player could be substituted for any reason; however, once substituted, a player could not return to the field of play under any circumstances.


== Physical details ==
Teams played each other in a home-and-away season of 20 rounds; matches 12 to 20 were the "home-and-way reverse" of matches 1 to 9.
The mall was opened in September 1990 and was renovated in the end of 2005. The mall is consist of the square-shaped building, a carpark and outdoor parking. The mall features anchors like SM's 6th Department Store, The 2nd SM Supermarket and SM Cinemas. It also features other anchors like National Bookstore, Watsons Drugstore, Surplus Shop, SM Appliance Center, 2 Banks (BDO & Chinabank) and ACE Hardware (Under Renovation).


=== Anchors ===
Once the 20 round home-and-away season had finished, the 1968 VFL ''Premiers'' were determined by the specific format and conventions of the [[Early_VFL_Final_systems#The_Page-McIntyre_system_.281931.29|"Page-McIntyre system"]].

===Round 4===
==History==
*[[SM City Sta. Mesa]] (Formerly SM Centerpoint) was formally launched and opened on September 1990. It is the second SM Supermall built and inaugurated by Chinese-Filipino tycoon Henry Sy Sr. However, the mall is not considered as the 3rd mall located in Quezon City because the term '''Centerpoint''' refers that the mall is located between the cities of Manila, San Juan and Quezon City. The ''SM Centerpoint'' was now changed to ''[[SM City Sta. Mesa]]'' in mid-May 2006, commemorating SM Sta. Mesa's 15th Anniversary.

Umpire - [[Jeff Crouch]]

==Awards==
* The 1968 VFL Premiership team was [[Carlton Football Club|Carlton]].
* The [[Coleman Medal|VFL's leading goalkicker]] was [[Peter Hudson]] of [[Hawthorn Football Club|Hawthorn]] who kicked 125 goals.
* The winner of the 1968 [[Brownlow Medal]] was [[Bob Skilton]] of [[Sydney Swans|South Melbourne]] with 24 votes.
* [[North Melbourne Football Club|North Melbourne]] took the "[[Wooden Spoon (award)|wooden spoon]]" in 1968.

==Notable Events==
* The season's home-and-away draw was extended from 18 to 20 rounds. This now meant that each team met nine, rather than seven, on the other eleven teams twice in a season. The final series were still conducted according to the (1931) [[Early_VFL_Final_systems#The_Page-McIntyre_system_.281931.29|"Page-McIntyre system"]].
* In round 3, the ANZAC Day match between [[Carlton Football Club|Carlton]] and [[Essendon Football Club|Essendon]] at [[Prices Park]] is greatly affected by an unusually strong wind that blew across the ground from wing to wing, Making kicking and marking entirely unpredictable as balls would almost turn at right angles in the air as they moved down the ground towards the outer (eastern) end and lost the protection of the stands (or, whilst in the stand-protected western end, the ball went above the protection of the stands). In an otherwise close, hard-fought match with not many scoring opportunities available, Carlton were least able to cope with the windy conditions, kicking 1.11 (17) to Essendon's 7.8 (50).
* In round 7, [[Essendon Football Club|Essendon]] played [[Richmond Football Club|Richmond]] at [[Windy Hill, Essendon|Windy Hill]] in a rain-sodden game that finished in such dark conditions that players could not see across the ground, let alone along its full length. In the last quarter [[Geoff Gosper]] kicks for goal and hits the post. In the gloom, the goal umpire signals a goal, and Essendon goes on to win the match by two points, 11.14 (80) to Richmond's 10.18 (78).
* After their round 8 match against [[Richmond Football Club|Richmond]] at the [[Melbourne Cricket Ground]], [[Hawthorn Football Club|Hawthorn]] leave the ground believing that they have tied with Richmond. When the goal-umpires meet in the centre of the ground, as was the custom in those days (when they checked their own scorecards and signalled an "all clear" to the scoreboard), they check the scores on their own score cards and signalled to the scoreboard that it was wrong and that Richmond had, in fact, won by a point: 11.15 (81) to 11.14 (80).
* In round 16, [[Peter Hudson]] scores his 100th goal for the season. He is the first player to do so since [[John Coleman (Australian footballer)|John Coleman]] in 1952.
* In round 17 and round 18 respectively, [[Ron Barassi]] and [[Brian Dixon]] play their 250th VFL games.
** By 1968, due to the shorter home-and-away seasons, the influences of the two World Wars on the VFL competition, and the effects of war service on player availability, only thirteen VFl players had reached 250 games in the 72 seasons since the VFL began in 1897:
