I do most of the above, followed by a forensic on Melbourne v Carlton ie did it make me feel any better about Ron Barassi playing in a Carlton guernsey, was it better than the '94 elimination final, did it bury the humiliation of recent finals losses t0 Carlton, and last, but not least, did it make me feel better about being robbed by Carlton in the 1962 first semi.

I also thought I spotted James Harmes as the players went in...

"Because it wasn't knee-ded"...

The local council, (supported by a mix of federal and state funding) could also consider an underground off-ramp, allowing commuters an express alternative access to Princes Park. It may take years to reach fruition, but could definitely be done in the dead of night.

He would have ground control sorted out.

For example, Punt Road could be renamed "The Bill Lawry Drive".

Amazing. I still remember all the coodabeen champions Norm Smith had amassed at the start of '66 season who were going to bring the Dees back to glory, inc. Sid Catlin, Ed Burston, Kerry Rattray, Vearing, Ken Jungwirth. Alas, decades of despair were to follow!

I did a quick AI search on 'minnows', and I believe this description may be apt: A minnow is a small, freshwater fish belonging to the Cyprinidae family, often used as bait and known for schooling behavior in rivers, lakes, and streams. Typically under 4 inches long, these fish feed on insects and crustaceans. They are not a single species, but a broad group of over 3,000 species related to carp and goldfish. That's not to say we can't do good things this year, or into the future. But when we look at the investment portfolios of even the straggler interstate combos we can see what we are up against: https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/this-afl-club-was-described-as-a-carcass-now-it-s-investing-millions-to-build-a-new-suburb-and-secure-its-future-20260224-p5o4x4.html

It was unnecessary what he did. Come on AFL, protect the head.

I liken James Harmes' clever gather and lace-out to Fritsch a bit like the end of the '64 grand final, which had become a rolling maul by the last quarter, when Barry Bourke got on the end of some quick hands by Townsend and Barassi. The ball then went coast to coast, and although Hassa missed the sitter, the ball would rebound to Crompton and the rest was history.

Achilles Jones ("And The Big Men Fly") at Springvale High School seems such a long time ago now. That's how long it has taken my achilles to heel.

I have a distinct feeling that Frosty Miller trialled for The Dees around this time.

Big V v Sandgropers, what's not to like. This was always footy played at its highest standard, a world above 'catchy', AKA rugby.
