I saw Zig & Zag doing drug humour at a Stoned Again show at the (was it?) Astor Theatre in Prahran in the late 70’s. 

Good grief.

    I can’t recall such depth on our list before.

    Once again a credit to JT and Tim Lamb.

    I thought this was a topic about MFC training not a walk down memory lane.

    pick a box (bob and dolly dyer) was the main one. think there were some others too where they competed

    and we can go back earlier to radio where jack davey ruled the roost but he never transitioned successfully to tv

    Not to forget Uncle Norman

    One of my mates barracked for Richmond and kept yelping how good a footballer Fred Swift was, enough to drive you mad. GTV Channel 9 was in Richmond, so secretly, I never watched Uncle Norman. It would have been like going to watch the Filth at their own ground amongst the toothless infidels - early prejudices were the 'go' back then and many of these shaped life and times for sheltered individuals, like children. For me,  there was nothing like watching Brian Dixon or Ronald Dale - who appeared on World of Sport (Channel 7) so often - and with that perceived loyalty, Happy Hammond won the day until the footy replay and Footy Inquest were scheduled.

    Ron and Gerry Gee appeared at the ‘Reefer Cabaret’  in the old blind institute Ormond Hall in Prahran mid-70’s. A very risqué R rated performance. Blew the socks right off of the earlier strictly PG rated Tarax Show material. The audience were reportedly ‘rollin’ in the aisles’.

    I think Ormond Hall is where I’m thinking of for the Stoned Again shows… it was on the corner of Dandenong Rd at the top of Chapel St?

    He used to buy Mahler and Bruckner records from me when I managed the classical section of John Clements, after the Vulgar Bulgar defected to Discurio.

    Anyone know when the next training session is held at Gosch's? 

    And did Barry Jones give the correct answer on Bob Dyer's 'Pick a Box' when he said that Earl Mountbattin was the Viceroy of India as at 1947?

    Since there are so many certified oldsters, in this particular thread, I wonder if anyone else would like to comment on my long-held belief that Clayton Oliver is very similar to Ron Barassi. I see it in his relentlessness, his determination, and also in things like his kicking style. Some of you are obviously older than me. I remember Barassi, but I was very young. Those who remember him well: do you agree? 

    Great to be back discussing footy.
    There are certainly similarities in the way they go about their games between RDB and Clarrie, but in physique I see more of CP5.

    It was a jazz dance back in the day, I think it was called Opus.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
