True, but given the amount of awful footy that I have witnessed, it is always better to win with awful footy than to be beaten by less than a kick having played great footy. Anyway, back to bananas ... Quote

An absolute disgrace! Is there some great historical achievement that the day celebrates? Was it the crowning of King Banana of the Banana Republic perhaps? Or maybe was it the birthday of the Top Banana? Were the bells peeling across the suburbs? Did the loyal fans go on a bender? So many questions with possibly fruitful answers. Quote

old dee 24,083 Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) With the dees returning to the winning ways of 2013/4 I have this year rekindled my interest in the Uni Blacks in the Amos and Casey after forsacking the Amos last year. Went to windy hill last weekend and Uni Blacks game against Old Haileyburians at Princes park Caulfield today. Bounded by Bamba Rd and Dover street. Is this the ground that the old Caulfield Bears played at in the VFA days. I played a couple of practice matches for my country team back in the early 70's against Caulfield bears . Seemed to be the right place but 47 years ago is a long stretch for my memory these days. Any one have any idea? Almost forgot we won easily. Sure beats watch the easy beats.

Yes this the old Bears ground but it was not right on Dover street but a hundred metres or so to the north Used to have a very old stand and the "cave" for drinks after, as I remember !! Quote
