While he did wear a range of hats, he was also a known Melbourne supporter who was at one stage being urged to run against Joe Gutnick in 2001.

May be rest in peace.

Ron had a track record of only backing winners. 

And the MFC was one hell of a mess.  Ron was a net worker par excellence and I suspect that none of his mates were going to help him sort out with the MFC.  

I think his passion for footy was pretty lukewarm compared to his passion for motor racing, politics, business and the corridors of power. 

Footy was probably somewhere beneath his dignity.

    Was no 1 supporter I think for some years. 

    RIP and condolences to family and friends.

    But we will never know

     

    RIP

    She still lives in Albert Park but hates people unless they are born overseas.She developed this luxury by growing up in the greatest era of prosperity and low unemployment in human history.All white Australians are to be despised due to it.She is obviously senile.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      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.
