Young Bamblett

Recommended Posts

On a recent flight back from Adelaide, I saw a group of young indigenous players coming to Melbourne for one of the pre-final games.

There was a young Bamblett amongst them, and he looked like a likely type....any chance of father/son??

Son of Les? 11 game Les?

There was one instance where he swooped down the aisle and scooped up a pack of peanuts from the ground, carried it down the aisle and evaded 2 hostess'.

Balked a dinning cart, sold some candy to the bloke in aisle 2 and delivered it with precision by hand to the waiting bloke up fwd in space...

nah he joined the mile high club with the business class hostie. .. very impressive performance.

Les Bamblett...went on to play for Footscray..was he our first indigenous player?

Les cost us a supporter. My sister used to have Les' number on her jumper (#8 IIRC) and when he went to Footscray so did she.

In his short career, Bamblett was a gifted ball winner who could not apply himself to the requirements of VFL at the time and living in the big city. If the kid has his Dad's ability and has the application to make it, he would could be a good ball winner. Was one of Ray Jordan's wonder kids in the early 80s that did not take the next step.

Spun on a dime outside the ladies, took three bounces on the overhead compartments, made sure everyone's seat belt restraints were secure, then threaded it straight through the flight attendants lingerie. :o

Les "Lally Bamblett wasn't our first indigenous player by a long way.

We had Eddie Jackson in the forties - a premiership player back in '48 I think. We also had Colin Graham in the 70's after chasing his uncle, a champion from the SANFL in the late 60's.

The young Bamblett on the flight might be a lad who plays for one of the TAC Cup country sides (Murray Bushrangers?)

I'm sure Deebest would know if he's around.

Richard plays for North Ballarat in the TAC Cup but is ineligible for this years draft. Les is his uncle.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
