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.

    Just goes to show how wrong you can be!

    What was that show called?

    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

    But back to the training thread. Have the houses started tumbling yet?

    Big years for Laurie, Chandler, Deakyn Smith and J. Smith.

    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.

    He was a Teacher. Used to stand on the tram reading a book all the time. Had a photographic memory. Became ALP President at one stage.

    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.

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
