Rarely went out on Saturday nights and watched The Penthouse Club regularly. Great entertainment, I can't really explain why! It was a different era back then. Sad to hear of his passing.

    Live sport was very rare at the time.

    The Penthouse club with its cross to the live trotting was gamebreaking.

    Most sports were super protective of their live viewing audiences.

    The real game changer was the broadcasting of the VFA match of the day on Sunday.

    That's right. I watched the trots but of course I didn't bet. I was just a horse crazy young girl.

    Mike and Mary Hardy on 'The Penthouse Club' tv show every Saturday were hilarious. RIP Mike.

    Yes and they would cross to the trots during the show.

    “Could it be a draw Butch” Lost count of the number of times I heard that. He was good but not the best. That accolade rests with one just retired for mine.

    • AFLW REPORT: Geelong

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
