Found something for ya. Timestamped at the exact spot :)

Thanks for that!

Interesting, never knew that there was a R D Barassi trophy awarded between 1965 and 1972.

    Where is it now, @layzie, do you think/know?

    Such an elegant piece of silverware just gagging for resurrection!

    Good bit of kit wasn't it!

    I think it's a no brainer if they aren't naming the premiership cup after him. One of the highest profile transfers in history and set the tone for things to come in the modern game.

    Me neither.

    He would have been playing for his own trophy 😄

    Yes indeed, he played 50 games for Carlton as player/coach between 1965 and 1969.

    I'm probably in the minority but I don't get footy's fascination with these Mickey Mouse trophy and medal presentations for what amounts to regular home & away games. Their low point would surely have been the Drink Drive Bloody Idiót Cup that Footscray and Richmond used to play off for when they had the same sponsor. Surely they all get thrown in the back of a cupboard and forgotten about the very next day.

    Demons vs Blues - logical choice for mental health awareness, I would think…

    I'm not against the idea of a mental health awareness game, but if I were Carlton I'm not sure I'd want to be involved purely because of the use of the word "blues".

    But to go in another direction, as I've said many times before, we should be focusing our attention on building a proper Melbourne v Sydney rivalry. The two biggest cities in the country, which already have a rivalry, should be able to produce an annual game which rotates between the two cities with input from and promotion by the cities' respective Lord Mayors, business groups, tourism agencies, etc.

    He decided to move us into the other rooms because they're bigger & we can do more, he also decided to put the songs on after each goal to get more people to come to games & provide entertainment.

    I know he didn't come from a football background, but you know what brings people to games, the team playing well, winning & playing good football which we are doing. We don't need the other stuff

    Agree winning and playing well is most important but marquee games also add to marketing .

    The biggest game in NRL is the State of Origin (this is easily promoted as the game is effectively NSW and Queensland) despite the success of Storm and their attempts to bring NZ and New Gunieu into the fold that State of Origin will remain. We Melbourne should leverage off that by making Melbourne V Sydney Melbourne V Brisbane as state of origin events. Melbourne v Adelaide and Melbourne v Perth would also be promoted

    As the oldest club and the owners of the MCG we could easily build a significant marquee, and also entrench Melbourne into league structures.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      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.
