bush demon

Melbourne is one of the listed clubs whose salary cup is tight. So an Essendon or a Hawthorn could knock on his door with a mega-offer. So we have to basically have high finish to keep him, IMO.

Block out the fugazzi.

The players are all mates any way, it's the spectators and social media you have to worry about.

I tried doing the home brew version at one time and the bottom of each bottle indeed was a briny sediment. Can't argue with 40 cents a bottle though.

I can't believe the love for Cooper's Pale Ale. Should be drinking Cooper's Stout after a win like this.

Who have been our rucking captains? Big Carl? Don Cordner. One of those two, probably Carl in this instance, could surely demonstrate some of the finer points of intimidation to Big Maxy?

Whoever he hit won't be in good condition either.

(Pointing at Percy).

A lot of the posters on here presumably wouldn't (either) take kindly to Ron Barassi's subterfuge in dumping Melbourne and taking his mojo to the navy blues. At the time RDB was multi-premiership captain, 1964 B and F, and the merchandising and promotional front of the club. Good luck to TS, it's only a game after all and he was chucked into what was a compulsory draft.

When and where do they train?

If we win a flag with that as our home based we could rename it the Golly Gosh.

Yes they had Ron's signature as you describe. My parents sprung a surprise by delivering them to me at school on my birthday. I duly wore them around the school, cork stops and all. When we went overseas later that year they must have got chucked out. My next boots (about four years later, for under 12s) were Adidas lookalikes, with soft toes and low ankles!

I think Ron's steel-capped 'Ron Barassi' boots make all the difference. Still remember the pair I got for my 8th birthday.

Was this 65 yards?

Casey Shire is the demographic heartland of Melbourne anyway. The MCG is so 1964. Other things that are so 1964: 1. EH Holden with 179 motor. 2. Red smelly trains on the Dandenong line. 3. Two shillings for fish and chips (just guessing on that one) 4. Melbourne rampant in the finals. 5. Jimmy Nichols as fill-in drummer for The Beatles for part of Australian tour. 6. John Nicholls, 6 foot 2 ruckman. 7. Cassius Clay getting liniment rubbed in his eyes during Sonny Liston fight. 8. Brown paper bags (with money for Ron). 9. Getting the cuts. 10. The drop-kick.

Just what we need: some Barassi-style emotion.

A premier league player in UK quit last week/s citing social media trolling, and the toll it was taking on his life. There are far better ways to lighten up on supporter sites than these kind of personal attacks dressed up as online comedy. If BB proves a disappointment I guess we can expect more of the same.

Truly pathetic. Why don't you take your 'presentation' directly to Tom (at a training night) instead of anonymously slurring him.

We also got Ron Barassi from North

Jarrott?

one flag since september '64, underwhelmed.

There are already enough fake umpiring decisions.

Billy Snedden.

That version lingers...

Best get for a v. long time. Crackers and Stan, all is forgiven!
