    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.

    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 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.

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!
