Dean Jones takes over the MCG one last time – The Age
Having hosted AFL matches this year with zero fans, Boxing Day at the ‘G was 30 per cent full rather than 70 per cent empty.
The Victorian maverick and batting great had been given a lap of honour at the ‘G in October following his untimely death in September. But that visit to the colosseum was sombre and dark the antithesis of everything for which Deano stood. It was during a time in which Victoria remained locked down.
This was a much cheerier occasion: the type of bright, sunny day at the ‘G at which Deano was king.
