An MCG scene from an unknown date but most likely around the turn of the 19th century 

Wow. What a photo.

Thanks

    I believe that may be @old dee sitting under the tree with the towel on his head.  It was hot that day.

    I don't think I owned a towel like that.

    Oh what a year 1956 was!

    … and a timely reminder that today is the first anniversary of Ronald Dale Barassi’s passing.

     

    As i understand it, that was regarded as the greatest of the Norm Smith teams.

    Page 20 of today's 'The Age' has an article from 17 Sept 1996 about the proposed Demons-Hawk merger.

    What was the issue with the contentious proxy votes? 🤔

    Today is the 64th anniversary of Melbourne’s 1960 premiership - its 11th flag. The victory against Collingwood was achieved in pouring rain with the Pies held to the lowest grand final score in VFL/AFL history 2.2.14 to the Demons’ 8.14.62. A fortnight earlier, they kept Fitzroy to four goals.

    Pictured, getting a kick away in the slush  is Trevor Johnson.

    On a weekend when I wouldn’t mind seeing a Demon victory and a Lions defeat ~

     

    Funny how little footy was replayed on tv in the old days.

    Am I right in remembering there a few highlights and then the match of the round.

    Maybe we were busy.

    Melbourne defeated Geelong by 17 points in the preliminary final 70 years ago today, Saturday 18th of September 1954.IMG_6039.thumb.jpeg.e3f87daba30a586dedba85db352c6e8b.jpeg

    Don Williams 5.10 3/4 😄 Everyone else rounded to a half inch, but not Don.

    They were a lot smaller in those days.

    Wondering how the pic was added, because there seems to be a 5.58KB limit to attachments...

    The ultimate quiz: can anyone name any of the seven clearly identifiable. Here, I think, might be the 'pool' to draw from?

    ...and shared many other stories over the years, I guess, Ethan? A rich Dees background for you, then. 😊

    Far right in the blue jumper is Big Bob.

    I thought this might be Dick Fenton-Smith?

    And, on the left, is that Brian Dixon's chin? If so, is that the rest of him?

    Are you still here, @Ethan Tremblay, to tick things off as we rack our brains/internets?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
