Anyone know whatever happened to Barb? Was our biggest supporter in the outer back in the 90s but can't remember the last time I saw her at a game. Was always good fun watching her in action

Her name is Barb Fitzbibbon and her father played for the Blues in the 1940s. I imagine she's still going but I haven't seen her since we left Princes Park.

Fred Fitzgibbon was a bit of a character too. :D
He got suspended for four games just before the 1945 finals.
In the bloodbath Grand final he jumped the fence in the last quarter in his street clothes and joined in the fights.
He was arrested and thrown out and also copped another 4 weeks.

He was a more disciplined premiership player in 1947
