You gotta love Ronald Dale....perhaps Matty Knights should try channelling the great man if our hack defenders arent doing their job on the weekend

Haha...poor ol'd Darryl Sutton and Keith Greig :lol:

"DAAARRYL!!! YOU ARE A @#*%…..I’LL TELL YOU WHY…."

"KEITH...... you've done a typical bloody shit thing! You could have bloody run and intercepted that first goal......and you probably don't even know what I'm talking about! That's BLOODY RIGHT!"

:lol:

Always loved watching that footage. There's more of it about.....I think there's parts where he's ripping into Malcolm Blight while he's in the coaches box - funny stuff. Then there's some stuff when he was coaching Melbourne and he ripped into Gerard Healy - "YOU GIVE ME POSSESSIONS AND I'LL SHUT UP"

I was there that day when it happened - saw the players dragging Zantuck away and lots of finger pointing etc - I think it was 1984

That footage is from an ABC documentary about the 1980 North Melbourne pre-season and season. It's now in the National Archives or the National Museum or one of those organisations (maybe ACMI)

Track it down, I think it's floating around online somewhere, it's well worth the effort.

I thought it was from the 77 season documented in the film/book called The Coach?
