Kicked 5 goals in last round of season, then disappeared with injury. 1967?

Stan Alves had a biog, or autobiog. Amazingly, his first three games (under Smith) occurred at the very, very end of MFC's reign of power and he went 3-0. For the next two hundred plus games of Alves' career the Dees were mostly a deadbeat team.

Fab Phil?

Ed Burston, one of the legendary great white hopes of the post -Barassi era.

He was on Coodabeebs last year. Part of Norm Smith's 1966 massive list regeneration.

Who needs the 2020 season when we can have the 1987 season.

Hopefully won't require a double nappy change at quarter time!

Should ask Greg Williams or Shaun Smith, or Deeontay Wilder.

Melbourne Town Hall, with Tarax on the house.

If we're talking the next couple of weeks then a little tap work from Tyson Fury plus odd chop out from Deontay Wilder should do the trick.

Fun fact: Chris Aitken is bro. of Wilbur Wilde.

Can still remember "Dillon!!!!!" called by commentators when he took pack marks. Sadly we couldn't get Dillon, Aitken and Parke onto the ground much otherwise 60s and 70s could have been very different story.

Graham Molloy and Stan Alves both could roost beautiful torpedoes in the early 70s, before that kick was banned!

Can sometimes see them on eBay, such nostalgia.

He was one of my '64 or '66 Ampol/Mobil player cards.

I think Dean refers to the incident in The Red and Blue video, was still adamant that Ron hit him.

That was my earliest childhood memory watching this on WOS. Dean went down like a bag of spuds. Melbourne rampaged through home and aways second half of season then struggled in finals without Barassi. Same thing also happened to Ditterich in 66 and Neville Crowe in 67.

Didn't we beat Essendon well in that game:

During '67 we were being talked about as a final four side until a late slump. Ditto'71, ditto '76, '84 until Essendon smashed us at VFL PARK. Some minor glory after that but afl is now basically a premier league and Frost to Hawks is a travesty. Take up a hobby, it's never too late.

This post is another sad illustration of the Dees' backstabbing and white-anting culture and why we have owned the bottom half of the ladder for over half a century. So much for a supporter website...
