Probably a typo....but it was ''Wacker on the wing''....and his favourite player was Greg Kennedy....''Greggy boy you bottler''..........

Take em to dick's grave, it worked in We Are Marshall. Maybe show em a lowlights package from the Pagan years first.

Just don't waste it on the Cats in the prelim. Save it for the big dance.

Visyboard...

Dick Pratt's private jet?

Would it be inappropriate to suggest the place that a terrible car accident occurred?

Yep, was a typo I dont often check / correct spellings - i still have some of the articles and have put a couple on the Blueseum site

These days Big Nick can be found quite often in the TAB on the corner of Victoria & Errol Streets Nth Melb.

Actually...I thought it was On The Wing With Wacker

& later Einstein On The Wing

That was on the 3 pubs my old man use to drink at after work, he used to alternate between that, the Central on Victoria st and Mac's around in Franklin St. Good memories as a kid of the Stork as they had grouse toasted cheese sangers.

I used to sell papers around that area after school and I still remember reading the colour liftout from the 1979 Grand Final in front of the TAA building in Franlikn St. I was supposed to be selling The Herald but was too busy reading about the game.

Ah the memories............

The street where Jon Throbotich played pocket billiards in a car

The Moreland Hotel in Sydney Rd Brunswick where the "Unofficial Selectors" held some of their meetings to get rid of John Elliott.

University High which is the next block down from Naughtons Pub on Sydney Road - this is where a lot of Carlton people went to school / finished off their secondary studies:

Brent Crosswell
David Glascott
Fraser Brown
Col Kinnear
John Scholes

Olivis Newton-John

I wish we'd kept the specially constructed area for Sir Robert Menzies' limo to watch games from, and put it out the front of Visy Park.

That the most influential man in the country (perhaps even to this day) would spend his weekends watching the Baggers speaks volumes about the prestige of our club.

HAVE YOU SIGNED UP FOR TALKINGCARLTON SUPERCOACH 2009 YET?

They boxed in that area in the early 80's when they built an extension to the Harris stand. They closed off the old gap that was between the Heatley and the HArris stand. It was that glass enclosed corporate area just behind the points.

It wasn't a too bad a perk for the man - just showed in how high regard the club held Sir Robert in. After all he was the man who got Jezza to the Blues after he signed with the Roos.

Good to see the current players getting on the "visit the past" bandwagon with a nice little return to the premiership quarter on Sunday afternoon.

Talking about the Big Fella ............what about a quick drive past Pentridge?

Also at the end of that street is Argyle Square - that is where Mil Hanna was going shave Lou Richards head after he lost a bet. But when Lou took off his hat he was wearing a scalp headwear, so they put shaving cream on that and shaved that - weak as pee Lou-Lou

Speaking of Mil, The Fitz Cafe, Brunswick St...where he is the owner.

Menzies was very influential with the Premier of Victoria at the time fellow Liberal Henry Bolte.

Managed to influence Henry who managed to influence the Chief Secretary Arthur Rylah, who managed to influence the Attorney-General, who managed to influence the Governor of Pentridge who managed to ........
