To me the Footy aspects of Milkbar have always been inspired by the stories of the game and never restricted to what the game is known to be, always looking to elevate the perspective of the sport. Nobody embodied this better then Barassi
In his coaching days a habit of over dressing with flared collars and fur coats, far from the polos of todays coach's attire. Earlier in his playing days he was the first star to leave his team when he moved from Melbourne to Carlton. Think the Australian version of Lebron moving to Miami. Courageous in such a Tall Poppy Culture. A move that in the long run made the game better, never afraid to evolve the game and challenge the culture.
Rest in Peace to a Legend and Milkbar's greatest Muse.
