I think I wrote elsewhere that Marchbank should have got a free; he was impeded without the ball by not one, but at least two Melbourne players. No score at all.
[member=153]LP[/member] Just the mention of Balme's name gets my blood boiling....
As for Neil Balme: I will forgive him for 1973 when Satan chases him around the MCG thrice, stabbing him in the backside the entrie way around. His behaviour ... I'm not going there. It is still a raw wound 50 years after the fact. We had 14 fit players for most of that game. Kevin Hall played with a broken cheekbone. As to Southby - that was inexcusable.
Live Long and Prosper!
