Vale Ron Murray aka @LeetoRainestoRoach

I haven’t been able to post to pass on my heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones.

Ron took the time to send me a PM some time ago as I was having some issues at work which ended affecting me. He sent me his advice on the matter, his experience and if I needed a talk to message him.

Ron was Mr Stats Man. If you wanted some clarification to back up what you were trying to convey , confirm or query , he was a keyboard away.

His theory on our ocean ‘predator’ the shark was great reading.

Im still shocked and saddened by his passing.

RIP peace Ron…….

I wrote some things about Lee/Ron (Hubbard) on his death but failed to mention one of his other great contributions to this site.

He was an avid (paid) subscriber to the Herald Sun and The Australian and would helpfully scrape Richmond content for PRE.

It allowed all of us to read it, free.

He did this without asking and often on request, even to those like me who didn’t see eye-to-eye with him on almost everything not related to the AFL or Richmond.

Hey, it would have been LtRtR 56th birthday today. I think of him every day. And I cried harder with the Dusty news this week, thinking Ron would have seen every Victorian game of his, and knew every goal and every don't argue.

What do you think Ron would have thought about the current state of the game and his beloved Tigers?

In 2021 he was disillusioned and said he might just buy a 3 game membership the following year to keep his 30+ years consecutive years of membership going.

I rang the club at the start at 2022 and bought a home membership in his name so he could maintain his length of service!

Happy birthday Ron 🍻

Utah, I think we all had mixed feelings with Dusty’s retirement. The joy he brought us, tempered the sadness we will never see him perform for us again.

Probably pissed of with the state of the game. Disappointed with how we’ve been going. Hard enough knowing we’d take a dip after our premiership run, but our players have been crueller with injury.

We will take our medicine as part of the price of our success

Well said Willo.
Reckon there'd be some great stories about Dustys goals.
And posts with stats on how young our team is and when we had such a young team.
Keep on posting Barbie.
And cheers to Lee / Ron 🍻

L2 will always be one of my favourite posters and one of the most mannered and intelligent of all the people I've met in cyberspace. Much missed.
