From the Moorabbin-Kingston Leader

THE coach was sacked after a few games.

His replacement improved the team so dramatically it won the premiership.

Six months later, the club disappeared.

By any measure Moorabbin's 1963 season in the VFA was out of the ordinary.

Grand final glory over great rival Sandringham sprang from a mediocre start.

But the Kangaroos never made it to 1964. They were kicked out of the association and off their Linton St ground.

"Intriguing, isn't it?" Graham Dunscombe says, glasses on his forehead as he takes in morning sun at his Beaumaris home.

It was 50 years ago that Dunscombe, 88, coached Moorabbin to the premiership and his memories of the season are strong.

He'll never forget the reception the players received when they arrived at a celebratory dinner at the club.

"They gave us a very hearty welcome," he says.

GARY Ayres and Andy Collins were part of one of football's great backlines.

When Hawthorn sides of the 80s and 90s were read out, they invariably started with A Collins, C Langford and G Ayres.

On Tuesday night, Port Melbourne coach Ayres and West Adelaide coach Collins match moves in a Foxtel Cup match at the MCG.

The winner will progress to the semi-finals in July.

STABILITY is important for North Ballarat Roosters as they seek to build a full four-quarter effort this Victorian Football League season.

The Roosters last night named an unchanged line-up, plus extended interchange, to face Werribee on Sunday.

There has been plenty of in-depth match analysis and soul-searching at Eureka Stadium after the Roosters lost a fifth match this season from a one-quarter blow-out.

This line-up pushed Box Hill and staged a late resurgence at home last week. It has lots to prove and momentum to gain before the Roosters enter a bye round.

BENDIGO Football Club captain Steven Stroobants says the Gold must stick together after a record loss at Williamstown on Saturday.

The Seagulls handed Bendigo its biggest-ever VFL defeat of 176-points at Burbank Oval.

Coach Aussie Jones expected the match to be Bendigo’s biggest challenge of the season so far and, unfortunately for the Gold, he was right, as they went down 30.27 (207) to 5.1 (31).

Williamstown set the tone by drilling seven goals to one in the opening term and didn’t let up in the second.
