I'm pretty sure in that North game that Mann swooped in out of nowhere and kicked the winning goal...

I once saw Tim Watson ordering a pie from Longwarry service station.

Because we had a Kerry Ryan PE teacher back in old Springy High days and l think he had played VFL.

Speaking of Mobil, his 1964 card was one of my cherished memories!

I am wondering if Kerry Ryan was a sports teacher.

"Melbourne doing it easy" at 0.26... later on "and another goal by Melbourne"... "Kerry Ryan" anyone?

Given that there were only two matches covered each week - monopolised by the top teams - l am guessing some of these games at least were match of the round and therefore during MFCs better years of the 60s...

My true demon hero through the 1960s. It's not every day you see video highlights of this great era: https://youtu.be/Xjnd7VZv3C4?si=gZnuZY91l34D8DoP

If you look at "Rhetrospective" on YouTube, there are instances of players being penalised for kneeing an opponent in the back. And this was in the biffo era of the 60s. It seems the afl administrators are bent on preserving certain forms of violence to keep up with the other thuggish codes.

A hayride?

He doesn't really explain why MtScopus acquisition is a problem, just seems to imply that it is.

"The Colt from Old Regret".

Don't "gallop" to conclusions.

Have we won abt 14 from 16 in finals since the war?

Or the "Fuchsia-son" rule, when it is introduced.

I was watching some Rhettrospective on YouTube(inc. games from the 1960s) and it is interesting to note how umpires protected the ball-carrier, and a player's back couldn't be rammed and targeted, as is now commonplace.

Norm Smith was a Collingwood supporter, just saying.

There may not be enough water for everyone.

Skilton and Ridley did a great job with available cattle.

Don't you mean Wacko Jacko and a few hand stands in the goal square?

Didn't we also beat Sydney Swans in NZ around those years?

Congratulations on making it to AFL level football, Sam. And anyone good enough to play for the mighty Red and Blue deserves the highest of praise.

Diamond Jim was tracking upwards in his last season until he got injured. Diamonds are forever.

The AFL are essentially a gambling organisation with a commentary overlay and a bit of footy on the side.
