TalkingCarlton :: View topic - Ken 'Bomber' Sheldon's speech at Percy's

How did you know it was on? Is this a regular thing? Totally missed any promo.
Happy to sneak down if I can, but these days it needs to be slotted into my diary in advance otherwise I have no hope of remembering

As far as advertising goes it's a sign on the door of Percy's Pub - The North Fitzroy Arms - you can give the pub a call on 94864501. Hope to see you there.

79Vintage: Very interested, when exactly is Syd Jackson speaking? Sorry it's not clear in your message...

Ah, thanks for clarifying. I (mis)understood that he was... I actually rang and asked Terry directly, was/am super keen.

What's the film you made?

robertbb my film is about aboriginal culture following the journey of Iluka a young girl, it is a feature, I'm currently arranging a team of Indigenous Aboriginal and multi-cultural writers to write the final draft, as a whitefella there are things I cant write about - at this stage 'Our Progressive Corroboree - Our Meeting Place' is still on paper but not yet on celluloid.! :thanks:

Today I attended a talk by Ken Sheldon, number five for our Carlton Blues, when our on ballers and small forwards were known as the 'mosquito fleet'. (where that name comes from I do not know), but those bursts in the third quarter were legendary. Ken was looking as fit as when he played and gave a great talk about the need for more younger players to come through our list, as well as how our club's culture used to be back in the champagne era of premierships in the 70's and eighties.. In presence at the talk were five carlton great - Geoff Southby 20, Percy Jones 28, David 'SWAN' McKay 43, Jimmy Buckley 16 and our indigenous great Syd Jackson 5. All of whom I had the pleasure to speak to. As an elder Uncle Syd Jackson has agreed to read my film on our Indigenous Aboriginal people and those of us who care for our Indigenous Aboriginal people. If anyone can make it tot talk at Percy by a footballing great it is well worth the effort for only $35. If anyone has any questions regarding today's luncheon I would be most willing to answer. 79V.

Even now, his Dad refers to him as ''Bom'', his nieces and nephews, ''Uncle Bom''.
