Brilliant one-liners

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

    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"

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
