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.

Just goes to show how wrong you can be!

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.

Off St Kilda Rd in Moubray St tucked in behind Wesley. Still extant, refurbished relatively recently for wedding receptions.

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.

Still no May 😬😬😬

We wouldn’t expect to see May until after midnight April 30 surely. 

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.

I would appreciate if anyone knows the answer to this question. I am prepared to confirm if May is there as payment 😜

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

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
