RIP Ross Hannaford

This is one of the saddest pieces of news I've heard in recent times.  Ross Hannaford formerly of Daddy Cool, Billy-T, Paul Madigan and the Humans etc etc, has passed away after losing his battle with cancer - he was 65.  A truly lovely person and a brilliant musician.

A gig i cut for Ross Hannaford

In '92

In the late 70's I used to go regularly to the Tiger Room (at the Royal Oak Hotel in Bridge Street Richmond) to watch Paul Madigan and the Humans playing... the band comprised Paul Madigan with Ross Hannaford, Wayne Duncan and Freddie Strauks.  They were hilarious and it was worth going just to watch Madigan baiting the boiler suited feminist brigade of the time.  Ross Hannaford would play the entire show with a look of genuine amusement on his face from go to woe.

I can see it all HT

Madigan was great on RRR till they booted him

i wished he had stayed

I was privileged to go the benefit concert they had for him at Memo in StKilda towards the back end of last year. The room was awash with "orange" being his color of choice during his later years.

Lots of muso's came out to support him and the outpouring of love for the man that night was palpable.

He played a couple of songs and as frail as he was, his guitar work was magic.

RIP Hanna...another great one gone too early

I'm pretty certain Ross was a follower of the Rajnish faith (otherwise known as the orange people) back in the day... possibly around the time he had the band Billy-T going.  I might be wrong, but that's how I remember things.

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
