There is on YouTube a podcast called Absolutely Essendon, (latest episode from a days ago). Unfortunately I don’t have the skill to put the link up, but easy to find. Very amusing and good to watch. The two presenters certainly don’t hold back. Well worth a look.

I trust you don’t mind me correcting your post. I was at that match, damn disgraceful. I remember a doctor saying at the time that Mr Long came within millimeters of killing Simmonds!

Melbourne to Adelaide along the great ocean road over 3 or 4 days, then back via Ballarat. I’ve done it a couple of times - beats flying IMHO, especially if taken at a leisurely pace. And the scenery “WOW”!

Excellent Cale Morton interview with Ben Gibson, well worth a look/listen: I saw it on YouTube. Fascinating insight into the down years a decade or more ago. Morton certainly comes across as a pretty smart bloke! ”The watch with Ben Gibson”

Yes, someone with the tools to cut through!

I’d have to agree on Max, he was terrific! 6: Gawn 5: Tomlinson 4: Salem 3: Viney 2: McDonald 1: Neal-Bullen

Farmer coached Geelong in the mid 70’s. I used to occasionally go and watch training when I worked down there.

It’s called petulance!

I’m not sure if they owned 20% of north, but North did offer shares in the club -under what circumstances I can’t remember- but I do remember Elliot trying to buy them up. what became of the exercise? I can’t remember either. Maybe somebody with a better memory can fill in the details.

Ha, ha, ha, but really not that funny! John Elliott as Carlton president in (I think) 1999 tried to purchase the North Melbourne Football Club. Didn’t happen of course, but he did try!
