    Thanks WW what a great pickup with the two Robert’s together, very poignant now. 1985, we were living in Wantirna South with a 4 and 1 Yo.

    A ripper from Kings Birthday in 1990 when there were less umpires and they didn't have such a great influence on the outcome :)

    Immediately after this game - "what number do you want on your jumper?" "54 please".

    Nobody thought to tell me that either Heaver would get a new number or never be heard from again.

    He basically confirmed it won't be the 64 GF (or 62, 63 either) 😭

    Shattered, was hoping for a miracle

    He posted the second half of the 64 GF the other day:

    Saturday is the 40th anniversary of Leigh Matthews giving Neville Bruns a busted jaw behind the play. Amazing vision on YouTube; Matthews himself ends up staggering off the field with a bloodied face and helped by trainers after the subsequent melée. Apparently it was 20yo Steve Hocking who took on the role of equalizer. Lethal was charged by police, deregistered as a player for 4 weeks by the then VFL, but still managed to get amongst the goals in his final 9 games, including bags of 6 and 4.

    That was a dreadful day, not unlike the John Greening king-hit in early 70s. These days AFL have codified king-hitting in the guise of CTE-inducing "football acts" where any player on the ground can get his head pounded at any time.

    I remember the TV commentators at that game being adamant that it was the unhinged, reckless, aggressive actions of Mark Jackson (playing for Geelong at that stage and whacking opponents) that fuelled bad feelings and precipitated further violence which culminated in the Matthews/Bruns disgrace.

    Only the press would find a way to blame Jacko for Matthew’s appalling brutal behaviour.

    The commentators weren't blaming Jackson for what Matthews did.

    Nothing excuses Matthews' actions, but Jacko's role in creating the violent mayhem and ill feeling that existed that day provides some context.

    inaccurate kicking even in the 80s! But this time by the oppo rather than us!

    it's one thing to lose to The Filth last Monday by a point after out-everything them (except their half-backs sprinting away from our forwards).

    But according to Tony Jones and Des Tuddenham in this report, The Filth must have won the '64 flag by three goals, instead of losing by four points.

    That's according to Tuddy as he kicked four in the following TV report.

    Only problem Tuddy - "yeah, I think (I kicked) four (goals)" - the records show you kicked only one goal.

    Hmmm.

    Top journalism that Tony!

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.

    • NON-MFC: Round 7

      Round 7 is here, with the ANZAC commemoration games taking centre stage. Who are you tipping this week, and which results would be most favourable for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

      The Dees hit the big Friday night stage for the first and only time this season when they take on the Tigers under lights on ANZAC Eve at the G. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      Before Sunday, the last time the Brisbane Lions had walked onto the turf of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, they celebrated the pinnacle of the sport - an AFL premiership secured in emphatic fashion for the second consecutive year.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
