Bloody Marcellin - top team you had that year too! At least we (Assumption) bounced back to claim both the Herald Shield & AGS in '85.

'84 was one of our weaker teams - but Billy Brownless kicked 150+ for us that season

 

[Twinkletoes]

Did we play against each other Lidge? Or were you at Waverley Park on Herald Shield GF night (pre Bombers v Swans night GF)? Yeah, you guys pipped us in '85. In both '84 and '85 I played on Timmy Powell (who went to Carlton and Richmond................we had a good battle). Billy Brownless was a bloody good schoolboy footballer. Same with Blair, his brother. Enroute to the final that year we also beat Garry Lyon's Melbourne High School (he was FF) and John Peter Budge's (played at StKilda) East Doncaster High.

We did have a top team...............there were many more than just Browny and SOS who went onto league lists, but they didn't kick on.

I loved playing at Assumption...........frrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeezing usually, but a good contest.

T'toes

 

[Lidge]

There were a few good sides in that era.

Parade College, St Pat's Ballarat, Xavier, Marcellin & of course Assumption - but they dropped off pretty quickly after that. Our annual battle with Sacred Heart (Adelaide) was always a highlight of the year. Pretty much state of origin stuff for school boys!

Melbourne High was always stacked with Richmond & Melbourne Under 19 players - and was always good to beat them.

And no - I didn't play seniors in 84 - but did in 85.

And like your mob - we had a stack of blokes sign with league clubs (12 from memory in 85) but most didn't take footy seriously enough to give it a real shake. Our stand outs that year we obviously Tim Powell & Michael McMaster (played 2nds at Geelong & Werribee - who I think is Melbourne's runner) from for some reason couldn't get a senior gig, plus a pileof other blokes who were happy playing Under 19's to get the club jacket and pick up skirt and go back and play bush footy for beer money.

I fitted into the latter category.

So we DID play against each other eh Lidge? Good stuff. Always a great contest. I also had a guy called Beardsley, from memory, play on me in the Herald Shield GF. Remember him?

Never lost to Parade, had sensational "local derby" Catholic School battles with Xavs (we all knew each other) and bloody StPats pipped us by 1 point in the '85 Herald SHield qtr final at a windblown and teaming with rain Western Oval.

Great days. Good to see we're on the same side when it comes to the mighty NMFC!!!!!!

Now.......back to the thread...........

[HappyDays]

Lidge..Twinkletoes!!! People of my era...I was feeling very old for a minute. I dated a guy from Assumption in the early to mid - 80's has a load of friends and had a ball!!! New boys at Marcellin too being part of the Catholic School system..


Twinkletoes, do you remember Bobby Zagame??

Lidge, do you remember the Daly boys (not brothers) Brad Camp, Mick from Hay Anthony Dowling...I could go on all day..but I won't.

I used to love those Herald Shield games, they used to play them before the night comp on Tuesday night!!

The gun kid in '83 was Jamie Stevenson (or is it "ph"?) he became a Roo!!!

Anyway, thanks for the memories!!

 

[Lidge]

HappyDays - yep...know the names which you mentioned.

And Jamie Stevenson - played with him at Yarrawonga before he came down to North.

Certainly do HD. Bobby was a couple of years above me, but we went through primary and secondary school together. He and I both were Templestowe boys. Also knew his brother Victor and his sister (?????). They've done well the Zagame clan.

So HappyDays, what's your story? Where'd you go to school?

Also Lidge............I went on a few dates with a chick called Loretta Honeychurch at the end of '85. Remember her?

Yep..........great memories HD, and I agree, great to also know there's a few of us fossils around the BF Roos board.

Go Roos

[HappyDays]

I went to a little school in Northcote called Santa Maria College..full on Catholic school. Our brother school was Redden College but we used to dream of meeting the boys from the far more trendy Marcellin and Parade Colleges!!!!

I was lucky..I dated a boy from Assumption which gave me prestige among my friends!!!

The Assumption guys were fantastic, especially enjoyed the end of year function in Melbourne.

The Brothers were a bit of a worry though....do you remember Brother Des, Lidge????


Yes the Zagames did very well for themselves and to think he asked me out once and I said NO!!!!!

Still, he was a Carlton supporter!!!

 

[Lidge]

Brother Des Tuck - a mountain of a man. (His elder brother was Frank Tuck who captained Collingwood in the 50's who missed out on their 2nd last flag due to suspension). I believe his since left the Marist Brothers.

And yeah - there were no shortage of dodgy ones (brothers).

Have no doubt he would have been a top line VFL player had he chosen to go that way.

Gun sportsman and top bloke. He could drop kick a footy an absolute mile and no one in the school could beat him at tennis (he had a serve the Philippousis would be proud of)
