I have lots of memories of good times from 1967-70, and even more over the past 12 years that Dean has been involved.
Jenny Goldsmith, Jenny Wheller and myself were the original 'orange girls/medicos'.
The medical kit for the first game included one bottle of mercurachrome, 1 roll of cotton wool, a packet of bandaids and a knife to cut the oranges!
As the team ran out, Brian Mannison passed his false teeth to Jenny G - yuck and horror. Next week, a soap container was added to the first aid box.
As medicos we were useless, but we loved those first couple of years. I remember the first bus trip to Kinglake. Jenny G's mother supplied endless packets of Tim Tams. It was on this trip that Bob Segrave and Andrew Gee composed the beginnings of a memorable La Trobe song which, believe it or not, was sung at Dean and Tracy's wedding!
I also recall Kinglake when the fog lifted and a goal post fell down. True. I did have a photo somewhere but misplaced it.
Will try to think of some more stories.
