Jolimont

Yeah.

Between Jolimont and Richmond Station and the city.

It is an eyesore.

It has been forever.

Yeah.

So the original, uh, Jolimont idea was in fact air rights over the Jolimont train.

Yep.

That, yeah, so that was looked at and that was, as they say, that was DOA, uh, when they went to the planning people to talk about it.

You've got Richmond.

We're surrounded by stations with Jolimont.

You've got the light rail.

And now you've got Anzac Station next to the Shrine.

Otherwise, there's gonna be, like, these huge tournaments like the Champions League come back, and somehow we're gonna be excluded because our teams aren't actually part, you know, privately owned or whatever.

Uh, that, that sort of feels like now that's the number one selling point from those inside Jolimont.

Is that, is that...

Am I...

Carolyn became pregnant and so John asked his family doctor, William Flynn, if he'd terminate the pregnancy.

Flynn agreed to perform the illegal abortion for $300, but during the procedure at his surgery in Jolimont, he administered anesthetic and it caused an unusual asthmatic reaction in Carolyn and she died.

If she'd been in hospital receiving the termination, the correct teams would have been available to intervene and to save her life, but that option didn't exist in 1968 for young women who became pregnant accidentally.

Flynn was charged with manslaughter and he risked his license, but the charges were withdrawn by the police and he was acquitted.

Yeah, but then on top of that...

On top of that, if you can't get a ticket, let me tell you about the party that goes on outside the MCG at the Jolimont station end.

They have the big screen.

They have all the food trucks.

Um, well, why don't we hear from the punters? TB, what's getting you hot?

[gentle music] In affectionate remembrance of the Blobby League, which died at Jolimont on the 8th of September 2026.

Deeply lamented by a large circle of sorrowing friends and acquaintances.

[dog barks] RIP.
