Round 4 brings a collection of memorable first encounters. We recall the nascent rivalry between Collingwood and Carlton, the historic clash between the league's two oldest teams at the MCG, and Gary Ablett Junior's standout performance in Adelaide. Brisbane secured a gritty victory at the Gabba despite inaccurate kicking, while a Footscray defender clinched a dramatic win. As a bonus, we delve into University's inaugural match against Essendon in 1908.
