How about that?!  Was my wife's 12th Birthday!  (Not that she recalls the event, being a Yank who grew up in the USA and didn't get a live satellite broadcast back then!  LOL)

 

Did kids actually wear footy jumpers with their favourite players' numbers on them back then, like in the painting?


It was fifty four years today
Norman Smith urged the boys to play
They were going up against the Pies
But were guaranteed to take the prize
So let me introduce to you
The boys who'll play in Perth this week
Gambler Goodwin's Chaos Ball Hard Men

(amazing trumpet solo)

We're Gambler Goodwin's Chaos Ball Hard Men
We hope you will enjoy the game
Gambler Goodwin's Chaos Ball Hard Men
The opposition we will maim
Gambler Goodwin's Chaos,
Gambler Goodwin's Chaos,
Gambler Goodwin's Chaos Ball Hard Men

I don't really want to stop the show
But I thought you'd all like to know
That we're going to rip a new ...
(the word I want to use is maybe "blue")
So let me introduce to you
The team to murder the Eagles

Yes many of us had numbers on our footy jumpers. My favorite player was John Townsend no.16 that l wore on my back and proud to.

He was a rover and played in the 1964 GF.   Kicked 35 goals and  was our leading goalkicker that premiership year.

54 years... bloody hell.  What an insane drought.    We could break it just 10 days from now.   Quite strange when you think of it that way.   Two games, 10 days.   So close to the ultimate glory.

For the benefit of Mister Gawn,
The boys this year won't be at Lorne
But Perth instead.

The Sizzle bros will both be there
I rate them both to do their share
What a dream.

Over rucks like Vardy, he palms to Viney
Lastly marks up front and then down back!
In this way Mister G will challenge the world!

The celebrated Mister G
Performs his feat on Saturday
In Central Perth.

The demons fans will dance and sing
As boos ring out around the ring.
Don't be late!

Messrs. G. and V. assure the public
The season ends with demons second to none
(But of course don't give a thought past this week!)

The team begins at one (or 3)
When Razor Ray will give us kicks
To raucous boos.

And Weideman will demonstrate
Ten shots for goal he'll undertake
(I've come around).

Having been some years in preparation
A splendid time is guaranteed for all
And Saturday, the Dees are topping the bill.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
