#RIP Greg Hobbs, 85.
Anything with his byline was a must-read.
But more importantly he was a writer with a keen interest in the history of football; and his publications were hugely influential.
A different era, when journos embraced the names/deeds of those long before.

#AFLPowerRoos share a common bond that can be honoured this Anzac Day. George Brock played 24 games for Port and 4 with North. Saturday 2nd Aug 1942 he rang North to advising he could not play that afternoon. That afternoon his RAAF training plane crashed and he was killed. RIP

What a great addition to our memorabilia donation cabinets in the club foyer.
A 1943 premiership plaque presented to players and officials.
They didn't receive them until 1948 due to shortage of metal in WW2.

So the #aflpiesbombers ANZAC Day game is a fine tradition But we should note the irony that Essendon withdrew from the VFL during WWI for seasons 1916 and 17. The club thought there should be no distraction from the War effort. Only 4 clubs played in an unusual 19 16 season
