State Memorial To Honour Ron Barassi

18 September 2023

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.
