Daniel Hulm: 'We are a club, and we will go on', SANFL Grand Final victory speech - 2000

10 September 2000, Football Park, Adelaide, Australia

First of all to the Eagles. They were the best side all year. They gave us a real fright at the end there. Some great courage and character. We thank the boys for the game. I am so proud of my boys. We represent the spirit. We represent the character of the northern suburbs. This is for our community. We’ll see you all out there tonight to enjoy it. I’d like to say to my boys – I love these boys, they give me all the love back. We put the runs on the board, and we are going to enjoy this. The last thing I’d like to say thank you to all the officials, to all the board members. To Scott Lee, to Michael Wakelin, to Tim Cook, to Justin Casserly. We are a club, and we will go on.

Hulm took his own life in March 2001 in London. This was his last game.,

John Kerr: 'Cheers from a small minority', Melbourne Cup presentation - 1977

1 November 1977, Flemington, Melbourne, Australia

Mr Chairman ladies and gentlemen,

Any little noises that you may happen to hear are only static. It’s just somethng wrong with the system.

I want you to understand, and I know that you will, that the minor noises do not destroy the marvellous occasion today is for me and for my wife.

Won’t say anything about Mr Cummings. It’s all written down for me here on a piece of paper, but you’ve heard it all over the loud speaker.

Cheers from a small minority, however, ah, life is wonderful for all of us, especially winners of the Melbourne Cup. Congratulations to all of you, and I’ll be back again as a spectator!
