5 best EFC "Runners" in Sheedy's era

Post by BenDoolan »

Just for the hell of it I suppose, and because we've just about covered everything else......

1. John Barnes - has the record for the most suspensions ever given to club runners. He can almost be classed as the 19th man on the field. Great for our guys and must be so damn annoying to the opposition and umpires.

2. Neil "Nobby" Clarke - the ultimate professional who went about his business with a minimum of fuss.

3. Paul Dimattina - only runner ever known to deliver messages and pizza's at the same time AND provide skills training to young recruits.

4. Judd Lalich - not only did he look uncoordinated with the footy, he also looked uncoordinated running out messages!

5. David Calthorpe - provided many laughs with just seeing him trying to run. The medics were always busy with the defibrillators when he returned after delivering a message.

I think Peter was part of the fitness staff. He was a guest speaker when I did my level 1 coaching certificate in Sydney. Gave us a few tips on back related hamstring problems, which have been very useful over the years.

Mark Bolton :P
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
