The piece is titled 'Cumha Caoine an Albanaigh', or in English, 'Scott's Lamentation', in Bunting's 1840 publication, 'The Ancient Music of Ireland'.

Scottsdale were formed in 1889 and although they originally competed in red and white colours, the club switched to black and white once admitted into the NTFA for the 1948 season. By 1973, Scottsdale had five NTFA premierships, in the space of eight years. In their finest ever season, the Magpies finished the home and away fixtures undefeated, with their only failure being a draw with North Launceston. It would be North Launceston who they would meet and account for in the Grand Final and the club went on to win the Tasmanian State Premiership with a 65-point thrashing of Hobart and narrow 11-point victory over Cooee, both away from home.

In 1974 the Tasmanian regional premier teams, namely City-South, Burnie and North Hobart, sent a combined team featuring players from each premier team to contest the Championship of Australia. By the 1970s, the State Premiership had begun to show a decline in interest from football patrons and was taken less seriously by the clubs and on 1 October 1978, the final match was played at West Park Oval between Cooee and Sandy Bay in front of a crowd of only 3,860. The 1979 State Premiership series did not proceed, but the idea was not dead. In 1980 the three regional leagues contested a State Premiership series in the first 6 weeks of the season.

Instead, the NTFA and NWFU joined to form the Greater Northern Football League, which resembled the old Statewide Premiership format, with the winners of the individual leagues playing off for the GNFL premiership. The GNFL experiment lasted only the 1981 and 1982 seasons. In 1986 and 1987, a true Statewide League was finally realised, when five of the northern clubs left their respective leagues to join the TANFL, renamed the TFL Statewide League: North Launceston, East Launceston and City- South left the NTFA in 1986 (the latter two merging to form South Launceston), and Devonport and Cooee (which was renamed Burnie for the move) left the NWFU in 1987. The two northern leagues merged to form the Northern Tasmanian Football League.

Djukulul has works in the collections of the National Gallery of Australia, the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the National Gallery of Victoria and the National Museum of Australia, and the Museum of Cultural History, the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College and the Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection of the University of Virginia. Among the several artists who created "The Aboriginal Memorial" installation (late 1980s), Djukulul and Ashley had two shows at the Aboriginal Artist Gallery in Melbourne (1984 & 1986). Ten of their works were added to the Robert Holmes à Court Collection. In the years following the Melbourne shows, Djukulul and Ashley exhibited together again in 1988 at Esplanade Gallery in Darwin, Australia, and again, in 1990 at Cooee Gallery in Paddington, Australia.

In 1896 the Davids bought 26 acres (10.5 hectares) at Woodford, in the Blue Mountains, with an existing weatherboard cottage, two-roomed with two skillion rooms at the back. To emphasise his Welsh origins, Edgeworth David named the Woodford cottage ‘Tyn-y-Coed’, the 'house in the trees' (often mistranslated as 'the shack in the bush': 'ty' is a proper house in Welsh, not a mere hut). In 1915 the Davids offered their home to the Red Cross convalescent home for the rehabilitation of injured servicemen and the Woodford Academy boys erected a flagstaff for the Union Jack and Red Cross flags for the soldiers in residence. When the Cooee marchers trooped past in November 1915 some of the wounded soldiers were brought up to the main road to greet the marchers.

In early 1986 the TANFL went into liquidation and a newly constituted Tasmanian Football League replaced it as the sport's governing body. The TFL initiated the new competition as the TFL Statewide League with all six former TANFL clubs involved, North Launceston and East Launceston also joined the competition from the NTFA in early 1986. However, the new-look competition did not garner the support of the football public at either end of the state at first, with the lowest attendance recorded was 470 at KGV Football Park when New Norfolk hosted South Launceston on 28 June. In 1987 the Devonport Football Club joined the competition under a new Blues emblem, along with Burnie Hawks (formerly the Cooee Bulldogs), which created a ten-club competition with all three regions now represented. All clubs were required to field teams in seniors, reserves and under-19s competition from that season.

'Men from Snowy River' at Cooma Following the successes of the 'Cooee' march in December 1915, 12 men set out from Delegate on 6 January 1916 to march the 220 miles to the nearest AIF Training Depot in Goulburn (currently the site of Goulburn High School). Marching under the 'Men from Snowy River' banner (now housed in the Western Front gallery at the Australian War Memorial), the recruitment march passed through the major regional centres of the Monaro, with civil receptions at Bombala, Cooma, Queanbeyan, Bungendore and Goulburn. Although volunteers joined the 'Snowies' as they passed through smaller towns and villages, massive civil receptions at the larger centres celebratised the 'Snowy' recruits, which was intended to entice further 'eligibles' at the meetings to do likewise. Such was the case with recruit Timothy McMahon, who despite volunteering to march with the Men from Snowy River at Michelago, was employed by recruiting staff to dramatically 'volunteer' at several of these receptions in order to appeal to the patriotism of the crowd, and lure other volunteers into enlisting.

These included Port Melbourne in the VFA, Cooee in the NWFU and City-South in the NTFA. Fellow Magpie Len Thompson described Greening in 2006, "Now we can say he was of the style we see today - with that great running skill... I think he was probably like a Robert Harvey ... he had magnificent balance, he used both sides of his body and he had this big ticker to run and cover ground."Michael Gleeson, (9 Jul 2006), 'Sour end to what might have been', The Age, accessed on 1 Sep 2007 at: "He was probably the most talented player I ever played with," said brilliant Magpie full-forward, Peter McKenna, who can recall Greening's spectacular return against Richmond 18 months (after his concussive 'hit' behind play), but only for a handful of senior games.Linda Pearce, (17 Aug 2003), 'Clubs use new game plan in dealing with trauma', The Age, accessed on 2 Sep 2007 at: During July, 2007, Collingwood Football Club paid tribute to Greening in a tribute to its past Greats of the game.

The Burnie Hawks travelled to KGV the following day to meet Sandy Bay in the First Semi Final, the Seagulls had been in solid form all season finishing in third spot, and despite leading by 34-points in the second quarter the Bay would see their lead evaporate but still held onto a decent, 21-point lead at three-quarter time. The Burnie Hawks ran all over a frustrated, disappointed and dispirited Seagull team to win by 14-points, sending the Bay out in straight sets and keeping the dream of an all-Coastal Grand Final alive for another week. The Preliminary Final saw Glenorchy and the Burnie Hawks do battle at North Hobart Oval for the right to challenge Devonport in the Grand Final, the Hawks (and their predecessor Cooee) had a lamentable record at North Hobart having never won there previously and had also given up a 50-point lead over North Hobart there earlier in the season. The match was a massive anti-climax as Glenorchy bolted out to a 69-point lead at half-time, the Hawks having booted only one major to the long break.
