  1. I know it was versus Fitzroy but not certain if it was 1967 or 1968. I remember the old Western Stand was nearing completion. I suspect 1967? A website said it was officially opened in 1968 but I thought it used to have a sign with 'Ponsford Stand 1967' on it. Might have been officially opened by some aristocrat after it was actually finished and used. I just recall my Grand mother taking me after half time after visiting my Aunty at the Mercy Hospital and we sat in the Northern Stand in the pocket. The bloke at the gate told my grandmother if I can sneak underneath the turnstile there was no need to pay. Probably saved her 25 cents. Suspect it was '67. If I could see photos of the Stand from May 67 & April 68 that might help restore some lost brain cells to confirm which game it was. I do recall blokes meant to be working on it not working and watching the game. Melbourne 3.2 6.9 11.12 13.15 93 Sat 20-May-1967 2:20 PM Att: 17,582 Venue: M.C.G.

  2. Reckon there might be some soft ironic boo's early on, but don't expect it to go all afternoon. He helped us win a flag. If I was 21 and offered a huge salary, I'd take it. Don't forget we have 2 first rounders coming our way. Different circumstance to $cully.
  3. Decades of being mostly [censored]? My family did that to me so good that it'll happen to someone else.
  4. Kozzie lucky to get 2. Could have been 3. Dangerous action but his body language indicated he knew straight away he had stuffed up. Buddy only gets 1 due to the unwritten 'do not disadvantage Sydney Swans' philosophy. Refer Barry Hall in a Grand Final precedent.
  5. Richmond excuses from various sources 1. Melbourne going full pace - Richmond in second gear 2. Melbourne know Casey better than Richmond 3. It's Melbourne's Grand Final (WTF?) 4. Melbourne full strength - Richmond had outs 5. Melbourne looked more tired by the final siren 6. Umpires crucified Richmond 7. TV commentary biased against Richmond
  6. 1. 2021 GF 2. Round 22, 1987 3. Prelim v Carlton 1988 4. Elim v North, 1987 5. Semi v Swans, 1987
  7. I was in the Northern Stand Punt Road end about where the 50 metre line is today. Can't recall if they had a 50 line back then. Do remember taping the reply. Geoff Leek was calling when Gerard Healy kicked (in hindsight) a ripper goal for the Swans out of the middle. Took a few bounces and one of the bounces didn't quite come back. Leek said 'He bounced it on a cow pat'.
  8. If you are in Thailand, ABC Overseas show all AFL games on FTA if your lodgings can pick up that channel. If in Pattaya, go to Tree Town area and Danny's Sports Bar. Plenty of big screens with cold beer and Danny is a good bloke.
  9. 1976 Karma. We had to beat Collingwood last game and rely on Carlton (top of ladder and hot favourites) to beat the Dogs and we would make finals. We got the job done on Collingwood, but Carlton Drew with the Dogs so we missed out. At the time, I took solace in that we cemented Collingwoods first wooden spoon. Carlton finished top and went out in straight sets 6-0, 6-0. So what happened to them past 2 weeks is somewhat satisfying. Although, I suppose would've been nice having Collingwood play Richmond in an Elim and knock one of them out.
  10. I know someone in his family, and was told he loves the Dees. OK, that was some years back when still playing for us, but do you think these days Brereton supports Hawthorn or Collingwood when they play. Same situation.
  11. Perhaps a reference for De Gooey? Peeking (sic) Duck
  12. We do have our flogs. But on a per capita basis suspect a lot less than most other teams. Think it's cause we were down the bottom for so long, we are now just enjoying the ride. 5 year window to make the most of it.
  13. Tassie needs to be a start up club wearing maybe Green & Yellow with a Tasi Devil as it's motto. A Tasi tiger motto would be good as well, even if to just infuriate Richmond supporters. But a Devil would be one of the most iconic mascots in the league, especially if Looney Toons gave them the rights to use Taz. North may have to move to Canberra. Or fold which would be a shame but this league is dog eat dog and better them then us.
