Yep, thought so! Knew Reg quite well as a former MHSOB player. One of the great stalwarts of the club.

He was indeed very well known for his one-liners and I can still remember his voice as the boys would leave the after match social function to go chase girls at nightclubs along Fitzroy St.

Among his best quips .... "GO UGLY EARLY!!!"

btw rangey are you sure it was MHSOBs and not UHSOBs?

I know he and Max both went to UH but later on one of Reg's sons went to MHS and played a lot of footy for the old boys there. Reg himself was a tireless helper around the club and such was his standing that after he passed the annual Best Clubman award was renamed the Reg Fairchild Medal.

So we'll make that UHSOBs (earlier) and MHSOBs (later)

I know he spent a lot of time at UHSOBs in the ealy days especially disappearing for days on end around GF time

"Remember you're fighting for this woman's honour, which is probably more than she ever did" - Groucho Marx in the Marx Brothers' funniest movie 'Duck Soup'. The line was allegedly unscripted and Groucho had to explain to the actress (Margaret Dumont) afterwards what it meant.

Ah Mrs Bannister, didn't I see you on the stairs

not really a one liner, but another great Neddy Seagoon:

<sound of knocking>

"Who is it?"

"It's me!"

"It can't be... I'm in here"

I have many in mp3 format... among them one of my favourites... an episode in which false teeth all over England are disappearing and mysteriously show up as castanets at a Spanish Restaurant.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
