"Hard as nails – Jack Conway and the early days of football" list many of these boys from Melbourne Grammar who started playing in the winter of 1858 and how they contributed to shaping the game early on, in different clubs. Jack Conway when he went to Carlton introduced a new style of game which involved players kicking passing the ball to each other down the field. This may of been the turning point of the game, to remove it from "Rugby" style. This sped up the game and made it look more like the game we have today. It also helped Carlton become the premier club for a number of years.
