VIC Premier
A state memorial to honour the extraordinary life of Ron Barassi has been accepted by his family.
The word legend is used a lot.
But nobody deserves it quite like Ron Barassi.
He didn’t just play the game – he reshaped it.
And how fitting that Friday night’s game was a cliffhanger between the Dees and the Blues.
The Department of Premier and Cabinet will work with Mr Barassi’s family and state memorial details will be announced in due course.
