Now Tommy is locked away . . . I'd love us to go to Jess and say "right . . . it's us or Ross Lyon. Here's a pen, here's the contract, six years, $1.2m per year indexed for inflation from 2020-26".

They are now all experts in the recent history of the MFC. Almost all the commentators, analysts and opinion shapers have made major blues. For example: "ANB has been great all year" "Hunt is superb by foot" "Jones has become a wonderful captain . . . " And on it goes.

One of the few sensible comments on this thread.

What??? Really???

So many opinions . . . so little knowledge.

Harry's calls of the 1977 finals series when Snake Baker and Tiger Crosswell tore it up were absolutely brilliant. He was a big influence on many that came after him including Hunt, Newman, Sheedy and Lane. A naive entrepreneur - led him to innovate brilliantly but get mixed up with some total tools as well. And yes, his son Brad (who also umpired at VFL level), is a mad Dee. I'm led to believe he might even frequent 'land every now and then. The Big H also had a soft spot for the Deez and certainly loved the idea of "Brasso" coming 'home' in 1981. Harry had a brilliant footy brain and was respected by many of the game's greatest players and coaches. That's a great legacy and compliment.

At a footy clinic during 2016, kids asks "how are you?". Max, "pretty good for a legend".
