Clubs
North Melbourne's football club met at the Temperance Hall to debate renaming itself the Melbourne Football Association Club and merging with West Melbourne, then voted the idea down 37 to 18.
A West Melbourne man had promised the club 1,000 additional members if it agreed to the change.
Administration
The Olympic flagpole stood in the forward pocket at the MCG for the demonstration match, left up until the closing ceremony because Games protocol demanded it.
The Duke of Edinburgh watched while match organiser Jack Fullerton explained the game to him.
Rules
Australian football was played at the Melbourne Olympics as a demonstration sport, a curtain raiser to the soccer third place match at the MCG before 21,236 spectators.
