Is it Mrs Marj Aylett? She unfurled the 1975 pennant.Does anyone know who the woman in the photo is?
- Paul McManus, Keith Greig, ??? , Frank McManus (NM #1 Ticket Holder - Past)View attachment 1622161
I send that info to the NM History Archivist. Thanks.Is it Mrs Marj Aylett? She unfurled the 1975 pennant.
You could be right. Considering the year it looks a bit old for her. Could be Mrs McManus.I'm pretty sure it is not Marj Aylett. Depending on the year of the photograph, could the man on the right be Frank McManus' brother whose name escapes me? He and his wife were actively involved in NM coteries so the lady is probably his wife. If the man on the left next to KG is Paul McManus, he is their son, who won the Stawell Gift in the early 90s. Frank McManus had a son called Paul also, so it all gets murky. Hope this helps and very happy to be corrected.
Yes Hoj, I recall that was the system back in the 60s and 70s. Some times it was different, but I recall that being the prevailing policy. Sometimes if the match was played interstate the VFL continued here in Melbourne. (No Brownlow votes given.) So I think the policy was to ensure that all teams were equal in terms of players unavailable for that round. There may well have been other issues in play, like ensuring that all clubs were part of it, etc. but certainly the 2 reps per team was the go for most of the time.Actually, here's a question. Was a M.B. thread about the Team of the Century, blah, blah, blah.
Now, there were a few saying how Robbie Flower should have been in the side over Keith Grieg. One argument put forward was the amount of Big V games that Robbie had over Keith and him being the better player.
Oldies ITK will correct me if l'm wrong but when these teams were picked back in day they had to pick 2 players from each VFL club so each team had representation. The Demons being so shyte only ever had 3 players possibly picked;
. Flower
. Alves
. Hardeman
Wayne Judson used to get picked in the back pocket as a Saint. Remember him ? No ? Well St.Kilda needed 2 reps, hence Judson.
Brian Wilson went alrightActually, here's a question. Was a M.B. thread about the Team of the Century, blah, blah, blah.

Ironically the goal umpire involved was himself a high ranking cop.I was there that day. Very spicy.
