Early news sounds as though he too may have exhausted his will to live. There is a lot of that about.

" Groton Police conducted a well-being check on Geils and found him unresponsive at his home"
...Sounds like there was some concern prior to his death.

VALE FRED GOLDSMITH, 1955 BROWNLOW MEDALLIST

SOUTH Melbourne Brownlow medallist Fred Goldsmith has passed away, aged 84.

Recruited from Spotswood, Goldsmith played for South Melbourne between 1951 and 1959 in a VFL career spanning 119 games.

He won the Brownlow Medal as a full-back in 1955, having been recruited as a defender.

Sydney will wear black armbands during their Thursday match against West Coast at Domain Stadium as a tribute.

Fred was on duty as a fireman the night of the zBrownlow. Someone turned up at the station to tell him he'd won the Charlie. Fred was a gent from the old school. RIP.

by Fred Nerk Thu 13 Apr 2017, 11:49

I doubt if the messenger boy called it the Charlie, but.

Peter Box now the oldest living Brownlow Medallist, although nobody connected with the Doggies or the AFL has communicated with him for decades.

Am concerned about Bobby Skilton who has been ill for a while. Should have nommed him and so give his health a boost.

World's oldest person (117) ... another baton change.

by JGK Sun 16 Apr 2017, 03:23

FFS:

Per news reports:

Rome: Emma Morano, who at 117 was believed to be the world's oldest person and the last to be born in the 19th century, has died according to Italian media reports.

Per WIki:

Since the death of 117-year-old Emma Morano of Italy on 15 April 2017, 117-year-old Violet Brown of Jamaica, born 10 March 1900, is the oldest living person in the world whose age has been documented.

SO no more folk left who were born in the 1800s. It took a remarkably long time to reach this moment.

by Fred Nerk Sun 16 Apr 2017, 10:13

Amazed the Lardster hasn't yet pointed out that Ms Brown from Jamaica was actually born in the 19th century as well...

by embee Sun 16 Apr 2017, 11:19

that would be the redster

the lardster would comprehend JGK's FFSism ...and has done since before "Year Zero"

Watched the ABC tribute to JC last night. Terrific show. Good that Keating put in an appearance. No Howard, Mad Monk or Truffles from the fascists was disappointing.

Indeed. Why would the pinko ABC invite blue pollies?

by Bradman Tue 18 Apr 2017, 03:23

Wow! A politician featuring in a tribute to a political satirist? What were they thinking.

by embee Tue 18 Apr 2017, 03:29

you missed the point ya silly pinko ...you dont need 100 pollies who were the subject of his satire telling us how funny/clever he was ...Keating was enough

you weren't part of the Frontline team trying to poach C&D were you?

by Bradman Tue 18 Apr 2017, 03:49

Frontline did alright by themselves. Maybe not as subtle or clever as they thought they were at times but only a wee notch below the games.

Though I saw them both at about the same time so my comparison might be different to others I spose.

RIP Allan Holdsworth, too, just a couple of days back. Highly influential guitarist.

Horrie might be the only other Aussie old enough to know of his work, but PeterCS would have come across him too.

I saw him and Gary Husband play at the Bridge Hotel in Rozelle in the early 90s. I would barely have been 20 I reckon and my muso uncle took me. Jazz fusion wasn't exactly my thing but Gary Husband was phenomenal.

Half your luck.
