Is that Ronald or Donald Matthews? In any case, he never went on to play for Melbourne seniors. There was a Don Matthews who played 30 games for South Melbourne in 1956 - 58 but it couldn't be the same bloke as the letter was an invitation for kids to try out. Nobody called Ron Matthews ever played VFL. I wonder whatever became of the addressee in the letter. Where was it sourced, @Whispering_Jack?

Was the meal buttered lamb? It was buttered lamb, wasn't it!Mmmm, buttered lamb. I'd like some of that, please.I don't know about that. Surely they'd be trying to impress the future coach this season. Added: What would be their reason for leaving anyway? Loyalty to Kenny?I'll see your 1975 and raise you by ten to 1965, the year I started following Melbourne.This is Van Ruin's touring bus.Maybe not at the time, but the proof of the pudding is in the eating as they say. Hogan went to Freo and stunk it up (we got a Premiership fullback) while Harmes is fringe/depth only.Thanks for your response, @dazzledavey36. That's more names than I realised, but Nibbler would be the only one we didn't want to lose at the time. I'm sure we'd all love to have Hogan back playing for us now, but it was the correct move then.Apart from Nibbler, can you name the others on this "long list"?Dusty was referring to Disco Turner wasn't he?FTFYEd Langdon would qualify.If I said I knew the correct answer, would I be accused of telling a Whopper?I'm adamant he'll stand and deliver.I'm a little surprised that our #27 isn't nicknamed "Dirty".https://i.imgur.com/HeAmTzd.jpgToo late. The information has leaked that it was in fact George Gawn. He looks older than his tender years due to his inherited extraordinary height.Lyon, Tingay, Charles and Prymke last played for Melbourne in the 1990s.You hope he risks a further suspension?Liam burned very brightly but, alas, burned very quickly.Ee i ee i oh.On that I would think that 100% of us would agree.How do you know that he doesn't have a big mortgage to pay down over the course of his career?
