Going by the second photo:

Clockwise from Brian Dixon (checkered shirt), Noel McMahon, Clyde Laidlaw, Ian Thorogood, John Lord, Frank Davis, [censored] Fenton-Smith, Ron Barrassi, John Beckwith and Hassa Mann. 

Can the mods uncensor Fenton-Smiths first name? 

Some big names there from the old mans tales of the glory days.

What a ripper of an interview ET. Really appreciate this and I hope he’s being well cared for. What a character. Donegan did a great job.

loved the bit where Murray Weideman gave him a love tap in the “very lower stomach” in the 58 granny and (it sounds like) half the team we’re trying to get even.

I've got a vague sense (memory) that he was dragged, or injured...  can't remember exactly.  >>  memory as a kid... of that image from TV or papers?

What is it about these black and white photos which make people look so much older than they were? Is it the clothing? Or the hairstyle? Or is it just the way we think about older photos? Norm Smith was born on 21 November 1915, which means he could not have been any older than 49 when this photo was taken.

He died when he was fifty eight. I was shocked when I discovered this. I mentioned it to a friend who pointed out that until the advent of blood thinners and blood pressure medication, coupled with the fact most men smoked and that the basic Aussie diet was heart attack tucker,  most men died before they reached 70, hence the retirement pension allocation of the number 65.

Dieter, usually when I read your posts I think your name refers to your nationality; today, it seems that I should read your name as someone who is careful about what he eats.

Yes, I make sure I eat plenty. Eat drink and be merry for tomorrow we diet. When I was a younger man and vaguely attractive to the opposite sex, one of my girlfriends gave me a fridge sticker: 'World's greatest Dieter.'

100% German/Jewish ( though I was sent to a Catholic school )- maybe a small % of Polish, on my paternal grandmother's side. One of my ex wives called me a Lady Eater because I didn't particularly like Pumkins (sic) in those days but I like them a lot more now that I'm old and lame and infirm.

HaHaHa...  please can you tell me what (sic) means?

I was bought up on a steady diet of Bismarckhering and Pumpernickel bread. I wasn’t the most popular kid at Primary School during summer.

Clever strategy from your parents. I bet you got to eat all your lunch without the school bullies stealing it from you.

I chewed on that to freshen my breath after eating Herring which had been sitting in my lunchbox in the warm classroom for half a day.

  • 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.

    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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
