You are even more awesome Biff....don't stop posting even if others make awful comments about you.

I have skin like a Terrapin.

As does thou.

We as a family came over to Melbourne when the AFL under Ross Oakley decided to destroy our original club Fitzroy. We felt that Melbourne was the parent club of the city we lived in and didn't want to support another suburban club. It's great to have through our own system of seniority 20 premierships, 8 from the Roys and 12 from the Dees. We think we deserve these because we are and were consistent members of both great clubs.

My father wouldn't let us have the telly on because he was a Middlesbrough and soccer supporter who called Australian Rules 'aerial ping-pong'. In 1964 I was caught up in the Ron Barassi celebrity football worship thing and so we would sometimes catch him doing his little TV presentations. My moment of total Dee devotion was capped off when my parents arrived at school one morning unnannounced, with a pair of brand new Ron Barassi footy boots. I then proceeded to wear them round school, stops and all. In those days footy boots had soft pads around the ankle bone, and Barassi boots had RB's signature on each pad. Now my whole family follows the Demons.
