As a young bloke going to games in the 70's and 80's, I worshiped Barks. He stopped and had a chat to me once when I was around 14 and I fair dinkum nearly pissed myself. I would love to go to the dinner tomorrow night, does anyone know if tickets are still available?

He was in cheer squad before recruited - kept being a member during
His playing days.
He would come to cheer squad parties.

He was the highlight of our games during those bleak seasons.

I had the privilige of seeing live every game he played
In the RBW
A great club man

was a bit before my time so i dont really remember him playing but from speaking with guys like Phil Cronan who played with him he seemed like a true legend on feild and off .. a true st kilda person ... amazing to think he played so many games without ever making finals

I remember watching him thru some aweful times,but he always managed to take a screamer.
For a bloke his size,he was worth a few brownlows.Great clubman and a true saint /
Could of played for so many clubs,but remained loyal.Well done RIP
