I'm envious of anyone who's played one game of AFL, unfortunately we cannot all be good at what we wish to be and try our best at what we can be.

I met Wes Fellowes about 10 years ago. His missus was friends with my mum and they rocked up at my joint out of the blue.

I was young when Fellowes retired but I knew the name and remembered the face. Imagine a giant ex-ruckman turning up at your joint out of the blue like that?!

I remember him being slow, child-like. He was amazed with this racing car game I had on my computer at the time. He was more interested in playing that game than answering any of my questions about his footy career.

Yep and whats wrong with that??? Maybe footballers get sick and tired of talking footballall the time. I know I would. Think about it.....they get it boiled, baked and fried......

Oh and by the way he is my brother.....surely that would have bee easy enough to work out by now.

Calm down, sweetheart.

Never said anything was wrong with it, I just thought it was funny. Thinking about it now, he seemed like a very friendly chap.

Ex-Collingwood ruckman. Retired in 1989. Absolute giant of a man.

If you ever get a chance, read the Taylor Diaries. Brian Taylor's recount from his last couple of years at Collingwood.
A more honest and explosive football book you will never read.
Doesn't paint Collingwood out in a great light, and goes in pretty hard on people like Daicos, Matthews and Ron Richards among others.

Anyway he had some interesting theories about how Wes Fellowes got so strong and muscular overnight.
Justin Charles-type theories.
