I've rolled a car too around 50 years ago, hit a bluestone garden bed which would have been around 350mm high, ripping the wheel off under the chassis causing the car to tip over. Would have been doing around 30-40kmh.

OK boomer. We know this is made up. Cars weren't even invented 50 years ago.

Old age does things to the memory. You're probably remembering futuristic horseless carriages you saw in some moving picture show.

Could be MR in the 70's the only reason to watch the Redlegs was a certain player called Flower. Or were they called the Fushias back then?

It was pre internet and didn't really exist. You can read about it in Pepys' diaries.

Blame the boomers for creating the internet also. Life was so much more fun when we could only vent about the footy at the pub with a beer and a smoke.

Ahhhhhhhh but was it him driving...? 

Pity the press can't help themselves. Just leave him alone.

Wasn't that Buddy's missus? Or did she do it as well as him?

In spite of all the crap I wish he was still at the MFC Ernest, 50 goal a year KPF don't grow on trees. Can you imagine the Weid kicking 50 in season? I can't.

Urban myth. Hogan has never kicked 50 goals on an AFL season. 

While we're all sharing our car-rolling stories: my best friend barely clipped a round-about in his Subaru on a Sunday morning once and we briefly went up on two wheels before landing safely and breathing a big sigh of relief. We'd been doubling-down on MDMA for around the past 14 hours, so according to the law of diminishing returns I don't think it would have been a major factor by then.

Yep. Those big stones do not move. I wasn’t going that fast either, changed down a gear and must have slid the back wheel into a Stone. I heard a thud and over she went...never forget those moments. 
The night before Darren Cuthbertson kicked 9 out at Waverley. 
 

I made it to the game, bruised and battered!!!

For a moment there I thought you were a time traveller. I read "the night before" meaning that Cuthbertson had kicked his 9 before your accident rather than the reverse.

Of course, the even less believable point is that a Melbourne player kicked 9 goals in a single match.

Yes. I think he kicked 8 the following week and then  nothing!!

The opposition obviously worked him out 100%

Driving a Valiant 50 years back!! Is it some form of time machine?  Please drive it back about 60 years so we can enjoy some premierships.

305mm

Wishing Jesse all the best. 

Fremantle forward Jesse Hogan is taking leave away from the club so he can deal with mental health challenges.

This really is sad news. Poor bugger, he really had a tough few years. Wishing him all the best; a recovery to full health.
