Fanatique Demon

Great posts, everyone. i was 13 in 1965 and shattered by the Barassi defection. I still remember reading in the paper how Barassi had made Carlton United and Melbourne Bitter.

Great stuff! And seeing Jack Viney kick a goal reminds me that, indeed, anything is possible.

It's a quote from the movie Major League. Ah, now I get it. Thanks. 😀

Could you be more specific, please?

Thanks, Radar. My 1967 DS21 Pallas. When I finally return to Oz, it’s coming with me.

Could you hunt it out and share it with us, please?

I thought about that for my chest. It would go well with my two new stents.

Thanks, gentlemen. Insightful as usual.

Thanks, 1858. Yes… excellent. And easy to find now on myheartbeatstrue.com

He has a real future!

I was there and aged 13, Tas.

Great work, Rick. 👏👏👏

They had their moments but can do better.

Amazing win, especially considering we only had about six or seven who played to their normal standard (or thereabouts). Oliver, Gawn, Lever, Salem, Langdon, Viney and maybe Harmes. Gives us confidence that when there’s a whole team effort we can beat anyone.

How come Nasher can write a-r-s-e but I can’t? Wait… now he is censored too in my quote of him. What’s going on?

A hoarser’s [censored]?

Here’s how I see it… 6. Oliver 5. Gawn 4. Oliver 3. Salem 2. Oliver 1. Lever

Poor effort by Max just now

Another that gets me is when the commentators refer to the Melbourne Football Club instead of Team. Eddie does it all the time. It’s the Team that plays the game, not the Club. The Club includes all of the staff and members.

Great job, Deesigner. 👏 I’ll spend hours on this site. I hope there will be plenty of content in the off season too.

Grinter was one of the most skilful players we had in the past 50 years. He could take a speccy, had clean ball handling skills and his kicking was Travis Johnstone standard. Sure. I didn’t say he had no skill. I said he didn’t have the skill of Crosswell and Rhys-Jones. You may still disagree and slap your faces, but that’s how I remember the three of them.

Sorry.. to clarify, I meant I agree with you. Thant is, b) and b)

I agree.

Without the skill.

Melbourne 12 - 13 85 defeated Geelong 9 - 6 60 Petracca 36 disposals, Viney 12 tackles, Fritsch 4 goals.
