My favourite player in the early sixties.

I'm thinking Clint may be a tad effusive.

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?

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.

When I was schoolboy in 1960s I wrote to MFC. 
Hassa personally replied in writing. Think I’ve still got the letter.

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”

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
