Unlike the "Bearded Burbler" I have no issue with Warnie getting his MCG statue but what about the shocking anomaly of Norm Smith's omission. Ten flags at the ground...4 as a player....6 as coach, a legend even in his own lifetime. With the now proposed Avenue of Champions there is simply NO EXCUSE !

Here's a bit of trivia......whilst confirming in my "COURAGE BOOK OF VFL FINALS" that Norm played in ALL of the three successive premierships '39,'40 41 and that they were ALL played at the MCG ( I knew the ground was commandeered during WW2 for defence purposes ) I was reminded that the 1944 GF was at the Junction Oval and the '42,'43 and '45 at Carlton. This latter ground , Optus (or whatever )within Princes Park is CORRECTLY described as " PRINCES OVAL "!

You know it's sad, but I don't think humanity will make it that long.

Thanks dc, I dont feel so bad now after missing last night's frivolities. I wouldnt have been so crass as to mention the "20111" error but understandable as the date IS 1-1-11 and we have seen plenty of bail-less stumps lately ( III )!
