Ronald Dale Barassi leaves the Dees for Carlton

[Still Waiting 94]

That's why Robbie Flower will always be the truest Demon Champion ever! He stayed !!!

.....

On the other hand $cully gave us bugger all. It still angers me to think that he mislead Stynes and Lyon and played 'bruise free footy' for most of the year. He's a lying little turd with a lump of lard for a father and I can't wait for Rd 13 2012.

You are far too kind "...mislead Stynes and Lyon..." he actually lied to us all. Publicly pledging lifelong loyalty etc etc.

[Crompton's the man 659]

This will not be the case AT ALL in Round 13 2012...i will bet both my left and right one on that!!!

Odds of $cully having a hamstring strain this particular round and being forced to miss are $1.05

And by the way - what Barassi did had never been done before by any Club icon.

It was a game changer and has led to the mercenary tending to outweigh the loyalty situation we all live with.

Of course it's for the greater good - not disputing that for a moment.

I was having a chat with a mate who posts regularly here and I know is a great admirer of RDB so I asked him why he didn't contribute to this debate? He told me that Barassi was the greatest Demon of them all by the length of Bourke Street but because this thread is also about Scully, he felt it totally inappropriate to dignify the "little ratbag" by involving him in the discussion at all.

Also said that if we had the 20 year old Barassi on our current list today he was confident we could win at least three flags in the next five years.
