I noticed that Bill Curtis, one of the last 4 or 5 players from the1955 premiership team, passed away last week.
Condolances to his family.

Nothing heard from the club as yet.
I saw a game back in the  WACA days (the 50s). The ground was totally flooded. Billy Curtis picked up the ball backward of centre, he ran through the middle and hoisted a mighty punt that got picked up by the wind and landed just short of the goal line and it's momentum helped to float it through for a goal. No kidding.
Surely there is another old timer who can confirm it.

Different time and space.
Slowly losing these great old timers.
