Quote from: Gointocarlton – on
My old man was a huge fan of the old TV RIngside days. He absolutely loved Tony Mundine the boxer. He went on to be an even better person who fought the good fight for his people.
Same here, my father had a bit to do with Tony Mundine on the issues of indigenous housing and domestic violence, this would have been back in the 70s or 80s, had nothing but praise for him. Dad said he was quite quietly spoken, almost a bit shy, but when he spoke people listened and that could get things done.

Full and Restricted members, and Annual Guest Card holders, who have not reserved a seat will still be able to access unreserved seating and standing room in the MCC Members’ Reserve by scanning their membership card at Gate 2, subject to capacity.
The MCC unreserved seating and standing room tickets can be purchased online today from 9am today by Full or Restricted MCC Members.

These are the seats in the bays behind the benches that you see people queuing up at the gate to get their preferred seat, they are always unreserved because they are not undercover and a couple of rows suffer the drip line from the stands above. It's been the same procedure for nearly 20 years. When they go it is officially a sellout, not when the AFL or Public seating sells out.

Blah-Blah Bar / RIP Tony Mundine
Last post by DJC -
One of my mates used to get free tickets to TV Ringside (my second date with Ms DJC was an evening at TV Ringside - she was definitely a keeper!).  Bouts between Tony Mundine and Kahu Mahunga were classic contests; Mundine was a clever boxer with a KO punch.  Mahunga could absorb punishment and, if he hit you, you stayed hit.

I met Tony at a NAIDOC ball (I met Lynda Stoner that same night) and what I remember most is how soft his handshake was.  Well, that’s not entirely true; I remember how humble he was and how willing he was to share his story with a white fella that he didn’t know from a bar of soap.

Sadly, Tony’s achievements in the boxing ring, and as an advocate for his people, are overshadowed by some of the foolish comments by his son, Anthony.

RIP Tony, a great boxer and a great Australian.

Couldn't bring anything in at MLB or NHL in Canada in May (hand bags allowed). $20 CAD for a beer was enough to not drink, although all stadium food & drinks were very expensive.
