A late Christmas offering before heading off for Christmas in Melbourne.

It has been fantastic reading and sharing all the posts this year. Feeling confident about improved performances and ladder position next year. Here is a nice blast from the past: The radio commentary of the 1959 Grand Final, Melbourne's 10th premiership and sixth grand final appearance in a row, in which Melbourne avenged their shock 1958 loss:

Thanks for that Bush Demon. A nice Christmas pressie. Oh, for the good old days! I was there behind the goals in the great Southern stand at the Punt Road end. Must admit that late, lucky goal to the Bombers at the end of the third quarter made me start to worry a little. I was annoyed too that the siren couldn't have gone a second or two earlier. As it turned out we steamrolled them in the last quarter to record a well deserved premiership.

Great memories and thanks Bush Demon.

Do you have other gems like this?

1959....such a good year

I have got 1960 and 1964. I will put them up shortly.

Thanks Bush Demon.

Listening to the 'old time' radio is a treat.

Thats nice to hear the successes of our past era's.

And the radio Jock almost sounds a bit,,, Morphett, or Lane-ish????

One of the broadcasters ( slower talking- more "educated " accent ) is certainly ABC veteran Ken Dakin.
