Review Memory lane

[Mr north man]

Round 11 in 1974 we beat Hawthorn by 20 points my 1st game at Arden street

 

[Mr north man]

Maybe our coach can show a 10 minute highlight reel of past games from 70s.80,90 and the year 2000 onwards to show this group can achieve that same glory as past greats were able to do.

When they talk about needle movers today, think of Blight. He moved a few.

Amazing stat:

Blight kicked 173-111 in his last 35 games for North.

CHB in a premiership team. HFF in a Premiership team. Brownlow Medallist as a ruck rover in a Grand Finalist. Coleman medalist as a full forward. All at 182cm.

What Malcolm did will never be repeated.

Oh I reckon he'll repeat it. And so he should

Out of interest what did Browny kick in his last 35 games for us ?

Really? That’s absurd. I am too young to have seen him play but the videos and highlights just show how skilled and unique he was.

Martin kicks 5 goals 3-4 times a year and he's rated the best player in the comp.............Blight averaged that for 35 games in a row.

He's a lauded footballer, but he's still underappreciated.

I remember the day after he quit as coach we played Footscray at whiten oval. He kicked 4 on his left and 4 on his right . He was a freak

So how many of us had a duffle coat with a big 15 on the back?

 

[ferball]

Can you even get duffle coats these days?

Ferbs kids these days wouldn’t know what a duffle coat is

Me! And on the back of the jumper, of course number 23!
I should really say geurnsey* but I can’t spell it!

Blighty was coach when I went all in on covering the entire duffle coat with names, numbers, symbols and badges, and I had “MAL’S SUPEROOS” at the top of the back and WAYNE 20 SCHIMMELBUSCH beneath it. One of my childhood heroes was Malcolm and I used to study and copy his kicking action incessantly.

Malcolm has a daughter named Melanie and all of her friends have always called her Mel or Malcolm Blight.

I might have seen that duffle coat now you mention it. Seems familiar.

Round 1 1978 vs Footscray at the Western Oval.

Ross Glendinning debuts for North and kicks a torpedo goal from the Doug Hawkins wing.

Breidis kicks 7, Blight, Cassin & Glendinning 3 each, and North flogs the Dogs by 69 points.

I knew Mal was special but did he have 3 legs?

He kicked 11 the game after he was sacked.

Rounded off with 8 the following week against StKilda.

A lot of character to do that after being jilted. He still speaks of the devestation of losing the North job.

Best thing about those highlights ?

The bloody commentary. Doug Bigelow, Doug Heywood, Thorold Merrett, Tony Ongarello.

I think I was the only kid with no.12 on his back.
Ken Montgomery- solid, steady, reliable premiership half back flanker with a weird kicking style. Think he won a B&F also.

That odd kicking style was effective though. Probably drove Barassi mad.
