You got that right. He was a superb player. Beautiful to watch, full of poise, graceful and like his team mate, Bob Murray, a raking drop kick. That was footy!perfectionist wrote:I think he was the last fullback to win the Brownlow. Reason he won? He took heaps of contested marks and was a beautiful kick.
Very glad the club is doing this. Too many on this forum regularly dismiss the past as unimportant. Bull. Without it we have nothing. With this purchase, the club understands this.
Carna Saints!!!
