I've finally caught up with this thread and I'm gob smacked with the number of notables of our sport passing the baton this year.
To those who have departed I hope your next journey will be peaceful and just as fulfilling as the one you left.
The grand final pre-game presentations this year will have a lot of legends to say goodbye to.
One of David's greatest calls.

Former Balmain, Wests Magpies forward John Bilbija has died aged 65 - yet another victim of early onset dementia.
The ex hard man, who had lost much of his cognitive ability and was just a shell of the man who graced Sydney football field in the 1980s and '90s, passed away peacefully in his sleep at his Penrith home on Sunday.
Rest in peace cobber.

I can still see that flick pass to Pringle. A tough bugger to boot.

He was Mark O'Neil's brother in law. Paul has departed way too early at the age of 55 yrs.
Condolences to those he left behind.
RIP Paul.
