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.

Yes i thought he could have been a very good replacement for Gutnick. 

But we will never know

 

RIP

At least the Save Albert Park protesters outlasted him.

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.
