These two years were really amazing. Even playing on the backline, he averaged around a goal a game, drifting down and making the best of that booming left foot. A fantastic player, great bloke, very under-rated.

Also, where some players can be stubborn and insist on playing on no matter what, he chose to make the announcement now, so as to allow the club to concentrate on making the finals and relieve the selection panel of the dilemma of whether to give him a "farewell game" out of sentiment. Shows what a true champion he is.
Yep, a very gracious man by the looks of it. Was equally effective in junk teams as well as good ones. I'm glad blokes like Hurley, Pears, Neagle, Daniher and Gumbleton got to play a couple of seasons with him. They'd have learnt a great deal from him.
Like sand through the hour glass, so are the days at the Essendon Football Club.
