[Val Keating]

A giant of Australian football

Vale

 

[Grogg]

Legend gets thrown around quite a lot, but Ron, he was the real deal.

Vale RDB, a true icon.

 

[Bren]

Dang
RIP great man

 

[gokangas]

One of the absolute greatest. Had the pleasure of working a little with Ron. One of the absolute best blokes I ever met. Never forget what he delivered us in the 70s. For old farts like me that first flag is still unforgettable. Vale Ron - simply the best.

 

[Groucho]

Shocked and saddened. One of those guys you think will always be there. RIP Ron

 

[shinboner magic]

A real legend of the game and one of the most loved

 

[DEVO]

Massive news, and very sad to hear.

A major reason I'm a North Melbourne supporter.

A legend of the game as both a player and coach. RIP Ron

 

[archerboy]

Thank you for helping make our club what it is today. Never forget

 

[Gasometer]

 

[GMAN63]

How lucky were we , that we had RDB in the 70s . NMFC and RDB were the greatest .

 

[Gasometer]

He was bigger than life itself to a kid of the 1970’s.

‘The Coach’ still the benchmark of AFL books

Thanks for bringing us out of the dark ages and into an epic era that is so fondly remembered by all Shinboners

Go well Barass, see you down the road

 

[spurs]

It’s because of Ron I follow North. RIP legend!

 

[discodaddy]

Sad news, but what a great life.

I’m a North supporter as a result of this man’s work.

RIP, Ron.

 

[DuckYeah]

A true ******* giant and a gentleman of the game.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Loss of a true legend. Not many can claim to be a legend of AFL and be taken seriously.
Huge impact on our club and will be greatly missed.

RIP Ron

 

[Boner Spirit]

Old school gentleman. Had the pleasure of watching his half time sprays in the rooms as a young bloke. Rest in peace great man. As big a legend as there there ever will be.

 

[Gasometer]

Three legends here

 

[Bend_It_Like_Brown]

 

[Rod Stroker]

Arguably the most influential individual in the history of the game. Our club was blessed to have him in our lives. What a man.

RIP

 

[Kanga Glory]

Beautiful man, who helped put North on the map. Sadly will be missed

 

[R00StaR]

Bugger, a true champion on and off field.

My boyhood like many others here.

Thank-you Ron ❤
