Jack, Goodbye , Farewel amen

[Khan]

I grew up in a small contry town of Ecklin, we had a footy team (they played on the oval on my paremts farm) that played each Saturday. The whole family went to the matches, when we came home we sat around and old 15 inch B&W ate Tast and Tomato/Chicken Noodle soup (depended on what packet/can mum openned) and wacthed the Big League replay on 7.

Sunday we watched , World Of Sport the great Man would be there on the Panel and he would hold court. Taking about his playing days, asking real questions (take notice Sammy>Ed) of the players and getting honest answers. In a family of Essendon fans, a small tiger grew mainly because of Jack

Jack -
I'll miss you, your Jackisms and remember without the great Captain Blood there would be no TV panel shows (all are just poor imitations of WOS). Look out for the Captain , god, he is a real treasure


I was asked on Monday by people at work how we should celebrate Jack's passing this is what I came up with.

I have sent this same details to Punt Road and as of yet am yet to receive a reply.

Attempt to get every living Tiger footballer to the ground , take over the AFL members section and before the match parade them on the ground. Those that cant walk drive them out , otherwise let them walk the ground. I mean all the players KB included. This is too big for petty grudges.

Bring out each Premiership flag and fly them at half mast for the entire day, and on the crane at the ponsford stand fly a flag with the Number 17 jumper.

For all those Richmond fans out there get your butt into gear and go to the match. It doesn't matter if you disagree with Danny or the Listed team just go. Lets pack that stadium with Yellow and Black. Bring your family friends , or anyone that will listen. Just go


LETS ROAR

Pfffooffff ... I'm inspired.

See you there Sunday, Khan.


BTW - when I was very young, I once went to a game Woorndoo v Glenormiston. I remember it clearly cause Woorndoo were the Tiges and the others were the Maggies. Needless to say, the Tiges won.

Was Ecklin in that same league ?
