I remember walking past him after we beat hawthorn in 2018 in that final. He had a massive smile on his face.

He was on that Sam Edmund show this is your sporting life on SEN and said it's embarrassing that we are still the reigning premiership players. 

It would just be fantastic to break this drought. There may be a few old past players hanging on to see this happen.

None more than RDB. It was fantastic to see the shots of him in the stand this year.
Alas, none if we do make the big dance this year.

Kicked the goal from the boundary against the dorks to secure top spot at the end of r.17 in 1964.

Deserving of praise.

I was at that game and we should have won by a street, but at that ground and with a strong wind that day, we struggled. 

We were kicking to the end where all the goals were kicked, so there was a certain inevitability about it, but it was very late in the quarter when he kicked the winning goal. 

He was also at the helm when we got rid of Woey and copped a lot of flack for that. But he was a very good person.

I wonder if dees supporters will remember Max's goal on the weekend like this in 50 years time?

Well I can tell you all definitively that Paul Callery, Barry Bourke and Stan Alves are absolutely pumped for the dees! And like Hassa from that era how could players NOT  be excited🤩

Definitely feels like we’ve already won the flag. 

I'm nervous for that very reason, but I hope there now becomes a brothers in arms mentality.  There remains a lot of work to be done and I hope the boys are talking about that for the rest of the week, until the first bounce on Saturday.

In 50 years time they probably will be able to look back and remember it, unfortunately they probably won't be able to remember what they had for breakfast in the morning. The mind does that to you.😀

Good to see him, but all this premature MFC coverage has me nervous

For what it’s worth I don’t think any of this noise will go near the players. I’ve never seen a more focused group of Melbourne players. 

I’ve kept a lid on it all year, just enjoyed the ride.

I bumped into him at the G years ago. Charming gent.

Couldn't agree more bingers.  I had the pleasure of working with Hassa for around 6 months in the early 1970's.  A gentleman of the highest order, but with the most fierce handshake I've ever experienced.

Very happy memory of that ending though only saw it on black and white TV.

I’ve sold some VFL memorabilia over the years - Records, Herald colour posters etc. 

But never that - cos it was personal. 
It will be in my off site storage shed. 
In a Mobil envelope and he “hoped I was ardent Melbourne supporter”.

Thanks, Radar. My 1967 DS21 Pallas. When I finally return to Oz, it’s coming with me.

Oh I like a car with OS provenance. Last few years I been based outta Vung Tau, Vietnam. The occasional Traction - Avante gets around. 
Mine is a current Mustang GT - stamped on the dashboard “since 1964”

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
