Absolutely devastated to learn of Ron's passing today.

He is Melbourne football club.

♥️

 

 

A true legend.  Perhaps the greatest figure in the games history.

 

Not a great weekend for the Club. So good to see him return to the fold in recent years and that he got to enjoy our 2021 premiership. 

For many of my generation who grew up in our golden era in the 50s and early 60s, he was our first true hero.

Rest in peace, dear Ronald Dale Barassi.

At a club function on the occasion of Ron’s 80th birthday, one of the tributes was from tenor David Hobson who sang “You Raise Me Up” as requested by the guest of honour. For those of us who were blessed to grow up following the Demons during the time when RDB ruled as Mr Football, this song will always resonate with us … we were always strong when we were on his shoulders.

Never missed an MCG game until recently.

So important we got that flag for him.

Thoughts with his family. 

Lets hope it galvanises our beautiful football club.

The last game before his death - Melbourne v Carlton. Somewhat fitting

This week has been some sort of emotional roller-coaster. 

Rip great man..

 

His heart always pumped red and blue.

What [censored] news.


Just saw this. I had heard he hadn't been well. Had a fall then suffered complications. RIP Ron. A legend of Melbourne & football. 

Gee you always thought he'd be there to present us the cup on the G one day.

Appropriate it was Melbourne v Carlton that was playing. His last match he probably either watched or listened to.

A sad sad day. 

RIP great man. Thank you for all the wonderful times you brought to our club. My condolences to his family!

 


Rest in peace RDB 31 Legend 🔴🔵

The joy on his face at the flag raising last year is one of the all time great moments

I’m glad he lasted long enough to know we are again a respectable successful club. 

A true gent. 


Absolutely devastating.

I am shocked to hear Ronald Dale Barassi has passed away. 😔

He deserves a state funeral.

A HUGE part of the VFL/AFL.

He will be sorely missed!

A true Demon legend!

Glad he got to witness the breaking of our 57 year Premiership drought!

Will be remembered with fondness by Melbourne, Carlton, North Melbourne and Sydney.

A monument to the game of Australian Rules Football!

Rest In Peace Ron!

Also sorry if our goal kicking last night was the last football thing you got to watch.

  • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • 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.
