The man who booted a VFL/AFL record of 18 goals in a single game (and it was his last). One that's unlikely to ever be broken.

Fanning's record lives 70 years on

Nice note to go out on .

Does anyone know if he is related to our shark punching guru Mick?

Didn't he also kick the longest kick recorded in the VFL/AFL?

I was there when Ivor Warne Smith won a Brownlow.  You get to my age quite easily if you have a teenage daughter. I must be one hundred and forty seven at least. That's how old I feel.some days.

Does anyone know which, of the two pubs in Apollo Bay, Fred owned?

Looking forward to OD's input !

Long kicks.

This year Josh Kennedy, who's missed a few games, is leading the Coleman Medal race with 64 goals. I miss the days of key forwards regularly kicking over 100 in a season.

I'm guessing it's either apartments or a restaurant that charges $25 for a parma.

For some reason, they've turned the PO into a greengrocer.
