And before you go much further with Arthur Calwell you should point out what role he had in immigration, and his sponsorship of WW2 refugees. His comments need to be explored in the context of the times, your words as quoted, if I remember are not quite right, and not as straight forward as they seem. There was a speech in parliament, that they came from that had other inferences and again If I remember, were a play on words. I will concede that the above words have been ascribed to him as such, by both sides of the political fence, and immigration debate, both to denigrate him and to praise him. And in my opinion neither is fully correct. But others may disagree.

Excellent stuff just what I needed Thanks Kev

His only error I thought made a couple of great saves, Up the other end we did not have enough shots on goal. Great game though still taking and making chances inn the last minute
-
Hidden gem indeed, from those highlights he does not juggle a mark , one grab. is quick to handball or choose an option. moves around the ground and gives off to better positions we might have pinched one. Will impress at Casey anyway.

just looked, what a fantastic opportunity for the new tall bloke, Kyah Farris-White to learn from Gawn and Grundy. Hell, he might not play for 2 years then be the main man for 8. Go dees

No dispute about some problems, 10 zip then losing the 2 finals. you are correct and how we lost those games after half time. Bur relying on G.H. for his opinion and insight. You cannot rely on Healy. Turned his back.
-
In my opinion Gerard Healy can stick his opinions where is wallet sits. He turned towards the money years ago FO!

My apologies if this has been put up before but I could not remember it. if you see a Collingwood supporter riding a push bike in front of you. why should you swerve and avoid them ? it’s probably your bike !

No C, led their cheer squad in the early 70's most of my friends at that time were in various cheer squads, and he at that time was Doncaster way. Carlton, Collingwood, Richmond, Melbourne, Hawthorn, Saints, Geelong, South Melb and Fitzroy from memory had low numbers, long time ago now my memory is terrible, cannot remember north, essendon or the dogs at least I can still try to remember, a lot from that group failed to reach 60. anuther flag please before i forget again.

I have my opinions that I try to keep to myself but the continual degrading of players, ours and others, past and present worries me. coaches are a bit different, more like paid employees or hired guns. I do feel sorry for the saints supporters who are in for a lot of pain. My old mate Phil in particular. Apart from the little old lady that hit me on the head with her umbrella about 40 years ago at Moorabbin. Perhaps I did not have a lot of couth when I was younger. I might have deserved it.

Only 22 played. 23 should have, but only 22 did
-
Appreciate these views and I endorse the cringe aspect, but I do think that the players in the 22 or 23 deserve recognition but also those on the list also contributed, perhaps to a lesser degree. But if you were a listed player in the MFC you deserve something (not sure what) an open door to the bar whenever you return perhaps. Similarly if you were a member in that year. Should not be forgotten. I do have a photo of the flag with all the names that was pretty good, perhaps a higher pixel copy ?? Those who helped, in whatever small way should be honoured. The 22 who played on the ground will always be a bit more special, thanks bruce.

You have my vote. For what ever it counts for.

5. 2004 (I think) Semi Final V The Crows (We Lost) The most amazing see - sawing final Iv’e ever been too. 40 points down at 1/4 time then something like 27 points up at 3/4 only to lose. Pretty sure Simon Goodwin was playing that night too. fantastic game should never have lost, needed to move a couple of players so it was not stale going into the last, but they stayed in the same spots pizzzed me off badly but it was a great game

Could we have a clause, like DeGoey’s. In terms of unexpected medical breakdowns? and the ferals paying out any remaining contract years.
-
Yes by making fake news so common. no evidence up front, just accusations. dates or times or rebuttals. Fake news is one sided. except where the previous Nth Melb caption is concerned. He sliced up north for years
-
If it was within Hawthorn FC and stayed there perhaps but the Journalists got hold of it or were given it, and whether true or not it has ruined all the accused and North Melb and Brisbane. Mud sticks. especially Merri river mud from cricket pitches on football fields.
