From the Pocket: Anzac Day clash was born amid division but is now a reminder of how sport can bind us
73% Informative
Dermott Brereton was born for the big occasion and, on this day , a new father.
He fused Frankston street smarts with Glenferrie conservatism ; morning television affability with an Irish thirst for vengeance.
Five of the players in that game had a significant impact on the sport.
Five would become senior AFL coaches, even with Mark Thompson out injured on the day .
Others would become club CEOs, board members, commentators, match reviews officers, umpires, even gridiron players.
To remove your hat and stand with nearly 100,000 humans is an experience like few others.
A couple of years ago , the MCG was as silent as a cemetery.
There were two sounds only the Australian , New Zealand and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags flapping at half-mast .
It was a reminder of how sport, when it knows its place, can still move and bind us.
