EDITOR’S LETTER

efore its season-opening win over Richmond, Carlton had lost 11 straight games to its long-time, bitter enemy. The 25-point win got the yellow-and-black monkey off the Blues’ back and gave fans reason to feel excited about footy again, after nearly a decade of ineptitude. But not even the most optimistic Carlton supporter would have dared dream what would be at stake ahead of the return game against the Tigers in the middle of June. The chance to go equal top of the ladder. With freefalling Melbourne having its bye this week, together with fellow top three clubs Fremantle and Brisbane, the battle for the double chance has tightened considerably. Come 10pm Thursday night, the Blues could be breathing rarified air. Michael Voss has done a superb job in his first year in charge at Ikon Park, but has probably enjoyed some more luck than his two predecessors, Brendon Bolton and David Teague. Trading for George Hewett and Adam Cerra has stiffened the midfield, although Cerra has a hamstring injury and probably won’t play on Thursday. Having Patrick Cripps injury-free for the first time in a couple of years has also been handy. But it is the Harry McKay-Charlie Curnow double act in the forward line that has lifted the Blues into contention. u There was never any

SOAKING IT UP: The Blues ended an 11-game losing streak to the Tigers in the season-opener.

McKay won the Coleman Medal last year and the gifted Curnow, back after three years of serious and perhaps what could even have been career-ending knee injuries, is leading it this year. The fate of the Blues this season probably rests on their form and fitness, but what better showcase for the entire club than Thursday night against Richmond, which despite the loss in round one, still owns the bragging rights in this rivalry. The Tigers are going OK, winner of five of their past six games. They’re not the imposing Tigers of old, but they’re finding ways to win. Tom Lynch will be back, having recovered from a hamstring injury, while Carlton and the AFL’s leading backman, Jacob Weitering, will still be missing with a shoulder injury.

doubt Russell Ebert would be recognised as a Legend in the Australian Football Hall of Fame. It was just a matter of when. This week, Ebert became the 32nd Legend and he sits comfortably alongside fellow South Australian Legends Malcolm Blight, Barrie Robran and Jack Oatey.

The sad part was the former Port Adelaide champion lost his battle with myeloid leukemia last year and we didn’t get to hear from the boy from Berri in SA’s Riverland who made the big time. According to SA football writer and commentator Michelangelo Rucci, Ebert is hands down the club’s greatest ever player. We only got to see a brief glimpse of him in the VFL when

It is the double act in the forward line that has lifted the Blues he spent a year with North Melbourne under Ron Barassi in 1979. “Record games, 392 in the SANFL. Record triumphs in the club best and fairest awards, six. And the record for most Magarey Medals as fairest and most brilliant player in the SANFL, four,” Rucci said. That is some CV, but Ebert was much more than

If the Blues are equal top come Thursday night, it will have been truly earned. The AFL is still not quite sure what to do with Thursday night football. Last week’s Richmond-Port Adelaide game attracted 635,000 TV viewers, but just 21,000 through the MCG gates. Expect a few more on couches, watching at the pub and in the stands for this one. That the Blues are eyeing off top spot is due to Melbourne hitting the skids. The Demons lost their third successive game last Monday, this time to Collingwood, and no longer sit on top of the ladder. They were banged up before the game and more so during it, with skipper and No. 1 ruckman Max Gawn barely able to run in the second half with a foot injury. a great footballer and later coach. He was a tireless charity worker and had a passion for junior development and ran award-winning community programs for Port Adelaide. Ebert was recognised last Tuesday, along with eight new inductees, and as always it was a night to savour. It is our pleasure to relive their stories this week.

ONE WEEK at a TIME Blowing a 20-point lead will add to their disappointment and, given various off-field issues afflicting the club, this bye could not have been better timed. The Lions and the Dockers (both 10-3) also get to put their feet up this weekend, but can be well pleased with their work to date. But the time off their feet will not be entirely restful, with the Lions facing Melbourne and the Dockers meeting the Blues – both on the road – in their first games back. The draw is delivering some beauties, but the luck of the draw is also coming into sharp focus. Geelong comes off the bye this week in fifth place and with Patrick Dangerfield set to return after having had the best part of a month off to rest and strengthen a niggling calf injury. But the other boon for the Cats is their fixture. They have the good fortune of still having two games against the bedraggled West Coast Eagles and one more against the hapless North Melbourne to come. The race for the top four is incredibly tight and the Cats have definite claims along with Fremantle, Brisbane, Carlton, St Kilda and Sydney.

Any edge will be gleefully accepted, and on exposed form, the Cats will gladly take the free hits afforded by the Eagles and Kangaroos, who have been non-competitive pretty much the entire season. Geelong’s percentage jumped by 11 per cent alone after a 60-point win over North in round six and that was played at the tricky Blundstone Arena.

Imagine what home games against the Roos and the Eagles, as well as Saturday’s Optus Stadium game against West Coast, might yield. The Eagles are haemorrhaging 10-goal defeats every week. Essendon is also verging on barely competitive status unless things change markedly. Sydney will relish having a second crack at the Bombers in round 16, having beaten them by 58 points in round nine, as will Richmond in the final game of the season, which might prove pivotal when it comes to making the finals. And if clubs don’t get two hits against the competition stragglers, then they need to take care of business with their one opportunity. St Kilda’s sole game against Essendon is on Friday night, while the West Coast game at Optus Stadium comes in round 19. There can be no let-up for the Saints because every other game for the rest of the season, save for Hawthorn in round 20, is against a finals contender. And the Hawks are dangerous on their day.

NAB AFL Rising Star H CAT LOOKS THE PICK OF THE PACK

alfway through the 2022 season and the battle for the NAB AFL Rising Star Award might be down to a race between three markedly different players. For those who decry the lack of key-position players, especially defenders, when it comes to AFL individual award winners, Geelong’s Sam De Koning has appeal. His 6.9 intercept possessions and 2.7 intercept marks a game this season are rated as above average. He is set to be the defensive linchpin at the Cats for the next 10 years. Nick Daicos is living up to the hype at Collingwood. Playing primarily across half-back, his 24.8 disposal average is rated as elite, and

6 AFL RECORD

AR14 p05-06 OneWeek.indd 6

he gets a similar grade for ground-ball gets and a host of stoppage categories. He has yet to put a foot wrong. Jai Newcombe is not just the most-improved player in an emerging Hawthorn side, he might be leading the best and fairest. He is already the club’s best midfielder, chalking up impressive numbers for contested possessions, inside 50s and metres gained. Others who figure to be in contention as the season progresses include Nic Martin (Essendon), Logan McDonald (Sydney), Jake Bowey (Melbourne), Jack Ginnivan (Collingwood) and Josh Rachele (Adelaide).

nother one of football’s annual rhythms returns to its usual place on the calendar as the best junior footballers prepare to represent their states in the NAB AFL Under-18 championships. The past two years have seen the annual talent showcase shelved through various COVID lockdowns, border closures and general uncertainty. But in 2022, prospective draftees will again audition in front of AFL clubs in a series of representative games being played around the country. South Australia will take on the Allies on Sunday at Thebarton Oval in Adelaide in the opening game of the championships before the Allies face Victoria Metro on the following Saturday in Blacktown. SA will back up against Victoria Country the following day at Thebarton Oval. The championships will continue across July with six games over four weekends before culminating with the much-anticipated Victoria Metro v Victoria Country clash on Grand Final eve on September 23. There is no shortage of talent to look out for across all games, most notably potential Brisbane father-son prospect Will Ashcroft, who has yet to formally nominate for the Lions. If the son of premiership Lion Marcus Ashcroft opts to test the open market in the draft, he is almost certain to be taken in the top five as one of the best midfielders in this year’s crop. Other names to watch are SANFL prospect Mattaes Phillipou, Sandringham Dragons forward

WHISTLING HIS WAY TO 500 GAMES

shortage of umpires at community football level has been well documented, which makes Shane Chapman’s 500-game milestone all the more remarkable. The veteran whistle-blower started as a boundary umpire in the Broken Hill Football League back in 1986, before progressing to field umpire duties. Two weeks ago, Chapman officiated his 500th game in Central’s 33-point win over North Broken Hill at Jubilee Oval. Born and bred in Broken Hill, Chapman is a well-known figure around local football circles. The Broken Hill competition comprises four teams which usually play each other six times a year, so he is familiar with most of the players and officials. He officiated his 400th match in 2016 and said at the time he didn’t think he would get to the 500-game milestone.

8 AFL RECORD

AR14 p07-08 OneWeek.indd 8

“I don’t think there will be a 500th, but I hope I can make it,” he said. Well, he did. “It’s been a long time coming,” Chapman told local newspaper the Barrier Daily Truth ahead of the milestone game. “I was surprised I went past 400 games. “I still enjoy umpiring – I just take it year by year. Just like the players, there’s good and bad days.” His achievement was also acknowledged by AFL Broken Hill on its Facebook page. “On behalf of the football community, (we) congratulate Shane Chapman on his 500th game as a senior field umpire. “This is a remarkable and record-breaking achievement. “Shane has served the game in Broken Hill with professionalism and distinction. “He started in 1986 as a boundary umpire in reserve grade and has progressed to become our longest-serving field umpire.”

he Australian Football Hall of Fame induction ceremony was back in Melbourne this week and it was bigger in every sense of the word. Eight new inductees were honoured, including walk-up qualifiers Brent Harvey and Matthew Pavlich, while former Port Adelaide champion Russell Ebert was elevated to Legend status. Harvey, the AFL’s games record-holder and heart-and-soul Kangaroo, and Pavlich, Fremantle’s greatest player, became eligible via the minimum five-year retirement period after they hung up their boots in 2016. They were joined by six other inductees whose careers spanned several decades. The oldest living inductee was 80-year-old Bill Dempsey, the

10 AFL RECORD

former West Perth and Darwin star who was also honoured as the ambassador for this year’s Sir Doug Nicholls Round. Another West Perth great – former goalkicking colossus Ted Tyson – was inducted 26 years after his passing in 1996. Former Tasmanian champion Terry Cashion, who passed away in 2011, was also honoured posthumously. Selectors also recognised another two of WA’s finest in Mike Fitzpatrick and Nicky Winmar. Fitzpatrick left Subiaco at the end of 1974 to join Carlton where he played in three premierships, including two as captain. He also played in Subiaco’s 1973 premiership team and later served on the AFL Commission, including almost a decade as chair.

Winmar was one of the most exciting players to come from WA where he played for South Fremantle from 1983-86. He headed to St Kilda in 1987 and thrilled Saints fans with his freakish marking, ball control and ability to kick a big goal. Michael Taylor made his name in the SANFL with Norwood in the 1970s and is a legend of the famous Redlegs. He also had a four-year stint with Collingwood and is remembered fondly by Magpie fans for his hard-at-it approach. Ebert is the 32nd Legend and the Port Adelaide great’s record says it all – the most decorated player in SA history, with a record four Magarey Medals, a club-record six best and fairests, a club-record 392 games and 29 state games.

RUSSELL EBERT RECOGNITION AT LAST

n the eastern side of Adelaide Oval, a statue has been in place for more than six years since its dedication in August 2015. Russell Ebert is mid-stride, ball in hand, looking downfield and about to decide what to do next with possession. He is lithe, supremely fit and every bit the elite athlete. To watch him live through the 1970s and early 1980s, that was something else again.

You knew that possession would hit a Port Adelaide teammate, invariably in a better position, whether it was by hand or foot. Either hand, either foot. Ebert was a footballer of the current day, who just happened to start his career more than 50 years ago. He prepared with a dedication way advanced of his era, committed himself utterly to the perfection of his skills, was successful, driven, determined and hard,

yet fair, never straying outside the rules as many of his time often did, particularly those trying to slow him down or lessen his influence. Off the field, the quiet, shy Loxton country lad grew into a leader, captain and coach, and then continued to grow so much more beyond his playing days that he led an entire community. His death late last year was mourned by thousands across football, particularly at SEN.com.au AFL RECORD 11

his beloved Magpies, but mourned too by the countless numbers he touched with his charity and community work across a lifetime, and his quiet leadership for people to strive to be their best selves. The Ebert file is the most individually decorated in South Australian history, from the unmatched four Magarey Medals, a club-record six best and fairests, a club-record games tally, 29 state games when those matches were the pinnacle and triple premiership player. It didn’t happen by accident, as former teammate and latterly club chief executive Brian Cunningham was privileged to have the locker next to him as they built their storied careers at Alberton. “We watched what he did as a teammate and he was so much better and more professional than all of us,” Cunningham said. “When he first arrived, he was a bit right-sided, but he worked on it so much that you didn’t know which was his best kick within a few years. “For a midfield player, he was an amazing high mark and he consistently took pack marks where

12 AFL RECORD

he would flatten packs and take bodies with him, outmuscling and beating centre half-forwards and centre half-backs in the air. “Handball, and attacking handball, was just coming into the game in SA in the late 1960s, because of the Victorian influence and what Sturt was doing with their handball skills under Jack Oatey, and Russell worked on his handball so much that he was just the best at it within a few years. “He trained hard to be supremely fit and he was a ball of muscle that could hit a precision kick or long handball like no one else and his vision opened up the ground and brought other players in our team into the game. “He invented the overhead handball that none of us could do, and you’d just see each week, every week, this incredible level of performance.” While it could be argued his straight line speed was not the quickest, and his endurance was outstanding without being elite, every other part of his game was a 10. His reading of the play was beyond all others and allowed

him to always be in the best position, giving him time to make the best decisions. At the turn of the 1970s, SA football was the domain of Barrie Robran – the first player to be elevated as Legend from the SANFL competition and a triple Magarey medallist whose career was tragically shortened by injury. Ebert won his first Magarey Medal at the peak of Robran’s powers and the pair duelled in successive Grand Finals at Adelaide Oval in 1971-72, with team honours both times going to the North Adelaide champion. By 1974, a consistent elite weekly level of output meant Ebert had a second medal and, as Robran began to fight the injuries that would curtail him, SA football became the domain of the Port champion in the No. 7 guernsey. Check the best players on a Monday and if he wasn’t first, he was second or occasionally third. Every single week. “Fos Williams was our coach when we both started and Fos believed in hard, tough and direct football,” Cunningham said. “Get the ball forward and win every contest. “He wanted no risk and absolute discipline in all his players. In 1971, he banned the drop kick because it was such a high-risk kick, but a good drop kick has always been the best kick in the game because it goes so much quicker and lower to a forward, and is nearly impossible to stop. “It makes me laugh still when Fos told us all at training before the 1971 season, ‘No one is allowed to kick a drop kick except Russell,’ and he kept kicking them on good-weather days until 1975-76.” From a debut in 1968, he had to wait a decade for a flag, and his third Magarey Medal year in 1976 saw the supreme disappointment of a hot-favourite side taken apart on the last day of the season by Sturt, and a dominant Rick Davies, in front of the largest crowd in SA football history. It burned with captain Ebert so much that no stone was left unturned for the 1977 decider, a victory over Glenelg by eight points in one of the great Grand Finals in front of nearly 60,000. By now, his game and influence was total, and the premiership completed him, but didn’t sate him.

PROUD CROWEATER: Ebert, with captain Shaun Rehn, after coaching SA to State of Origin victory over WA in 1998.

For his own experience, a year was spent with North Melbourne in 1979 for a taste of the VFL, despite being past 30, and only opting to fly-in/fly-out on a Thursday for a single weekly training session before each Saturday’s game. He still led the Kangaroos for the season in possessions and finished on the podium in the best and fairest, and then headed back to Alberton. A fourth Magarey was added in 1980 and two more premierships, with the team now under the leadership of Cunningham. Cunningham marvelled at Ebert’s level of performance across 17 years, but says that’s only part of the reason behind his Legend status. “I know all about Russell the player, and the medals, and the flags, and the countless great games I watched from the best seat in the centre square,” he said. TIRELESS WORKER: On retirement, Ebert spent 35 years giving back to the Port Adelaide community.

“But Russell is a Legend because of what he did and gave to our club for the 35 years after he played. “He led our community and he worked to give so much to people who had less, and he guided people to be better. “Only after his career did people outside Port Adelaide come to know the person he was.” Ebert on game-day always seemed quiet and introverted to outsiders, thinking only of the job ahead. Around family and friends outside of the club, he had a sharp, sly sense of humour and was deeply caring of others, having grown up one of six children in SA’s Riverland. He met his wife Dian when both were just 17. A nurse in training, she thought the young bank worker was keen on her sister, but Dian made sure he wasn’t getting away.

“We were at a dance in Waikerie and I think Russell wanted to go out with my sister, but she had her eye on someone else,” Dian joked. “He was very shy, but he always had the most beautiful smile. “He was caring because he was part of a big family and he always thought of others. He was so well brought up and he was a very fine catch.” The time without him has been difficult, after more than 50 years together, but Dian cherishes the time watching him as a father to three and then a grandfather to six between the ages of three and 15. Above that, thousands of hours given to others, so much that he was named SA’s Local Hero in the 2021 Australia Day Awards. Through that year, he bravely fought his illness without complaint, Dian at his side every step. “I was proud of him every day I was with him across our lives,” she said. “I wish he was here to see this, but he absolutely deserves it and myself and the children are so thrilled.” In Cunningham’s view, the honour franks the position of Port Adelaide on the national stage. “It’s fantastic for the family, but it’s also great for the club,” he said. “The whole reason Port Adelaide wanted to get into the AFL was because we wanted to play on the biggest stage against the biggest clubs in Australia. “This says to the football world that our best player is on the podium with the best players to ever play.”

TERRY CASHION TASSIE’S FINEST

ong before the best footballers in the land played in a national competition, criss-crossing the country to play against each other every week, the Australian National Football Carnival games were those to savour. This was particularly so given these carnivals were staged only every three or so years. Interstate games were a feature of every season, but the carnivals were worth the interminable wait, as the best players in the country travelled to the one city for a helter-skelter 10 days during which multiple games were played, a national champion was crowned and the Tassie Medal was awarded to the best player. In 1950, the carnival was held in Brisbane, as part of a massive £15,000 investment by the game’s ruling body to grow the game in a developing market. It was a soggy few days in the Queensland capital and there was no surprise that the all-powerful Victorian team won the carnival. But despite winning just one game out of four, it was the plucky Tasmania which produced the player voted the best of the carnival – Longford rover Terry Cashion.

14 AFL RECORD

Tasmanian football historians have long debated whether Cashion or Horrie Gorringe was the best rover to come out of the state. Gorringe was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame in 2011. And this year, Cashion joins him. Cashion was said to be a brilliant and scrupulously fair player. John Leedham, a star Tasmanian who played with and against Cashion, told the Mercury that he was up there with the best he had seen. “He was very quick, he knew where the ball was going and he would always be there first. He thought the game out very well,” he said. Cashion was a soccer player growing up, but turned to Australian Football and initially played for Buckingham in the State School Old Boys Association between 1935 and 1938. His career started in 1939 and over the next 16 years he played 193 games for New Town, Clarence, Longford and Sandy Bay. After being transferred to Melbourne during World War II, he played five games for South Melbourne in 1942 before suffering a serious knee injury and didn’t play again until 1946 when,

back in Tasmania, he joined Clarence in the Southern Districts Association. Clarence joined the Tasmanian Football League the following season. And that’s when Cashion’s dominance began. Having won Clarence’s best and fairest in 1946, he won the best and fairest for the next seven seasons wherever he played. In 1947, it was for Clarence. Between 1948 and 1951 it was for Longford in the Northern Tasmanian Football Association, then for Sandy Bay back in the TFL in the premiership year of 1952 and again in 1953. He won the NTFA competition best and fairest in 1948, 1950 and 1951 and the TFL’s Leitch Medal in 1953. He represented Tasmania 14 times and, put simply, he was the best player in the state for the best part of a decade during a period in which Tasmanian football was pretty powerful. And given he barely played at all between the ages of 19 and 24 because of war service and injury, his career was all the more impressive. He is Tasmanian football royalty, named as rover in the state’s Team of the Century and in 2006 made a legend of the Tasmanian Football Hall of Fame, having been an inaugural inductee. And now he takes his rightful place on the national football stage. “As I grew up and as my children grew up, we came across many, many people who showed us how much Dad was revered as a footballer, but not just as a footballer, as a man,” daughter Glenda Murray said. “He was a gentleman. He was humble and a very kind, thoughtful person. He always said that the glories that he received weren’t his. They were his teammates.” According to Murray, while Cashion achieved great success as a player, especially on an individual basis, it was the friendships and companionships gained that he most loved about the game. “Dad would just be so honoured. He would just be so thrilled,” she said. “I don’t think ‘proud’ is a word that I could ever use with my dad because he was a very humble person, but he would be just so honoured.” ASHLEY BROWNE

MODEST CHAMPION: From humble beginnings as a member of the Stolen Generation, Bill Dempsey dominated WA and NT football in the 1960s and ’70s.

BILL DEMPSEY BLESSED IN LIFE & FOOTY

ill Dempsey has led a remarkable life. A member of the Stolen Generation, he overcame significant hardship to establish a fabulous playing career over 18 seasons in Western Australia and the Northern Territory. A member of the AFL’s Indigenous Team of the Century, his life in football was celebrated last month as the ambassador for Sir Doug Nicholls Round. Those who had the good fortune to meet him during those events could not help but be captivated by his presence. If spinning a yarn was a competitive sport, he would have represented Australia. But when AFL Commission chairman Richard Goyder invited

I always knew football would help me in life with where I wanted to goX BILL DEMPSEY

him to the season launch in Melbourne, there was another piece of news to share with him. And in doing so, Goyder broke with convention. Dempsey recalled what happened. “He told me I was going to be the (Sir Doug Nicholls Round) ambassador, which made me very proud, and I stood up and we did the deal,” he said. “I went to sit down and he said, ‘We’re not finished yet. This has never been done before, but because you’re already here, I’d like to inform the audience that you’ll be inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame’. “I could have fallen over. I thought it would be just the one accolade, but then there was another. “I was overwhelmed and I didn’t know what to say. It was a nice shock and a nice thing to be recognised.” Those with a deep knowledge of West Australian football say

Dempsey’s induction was long overdue. His partner-in-crime at West Perth, champion midfielder Mel Whinnen, was inducted in 2018. Dempsey was a dominant player for West Perth over 17 seasons, but what made that all the more impressive was that for the first 10 seasons of his WAFL career, he returned home to Darwin every summer to play in the local competition for his beloved Buffaloes. He never enjoyed an off-season. “I only ever played for two clubs,” he said proudly. He played 343 games for West Perth, the second most in WAFL history. And backed that up with an estimated 140 for the Buffaloes. Dempsey is happy to talk about anything, except how good a player he was. Measuring 187cm, he came to West Perth as a centre half-forward, but estimated that once there, he might have played three games in that position. The Falcons tabbed him as a ruckman and for the first half of his career that’s where he featured. But when the great Graham ‘Polly’ Farmer came to the club as captain-coach in 1968, having finished at Geelong, he played as the No. 1 ruckman and Dempsey became the resting ruckman, playing primarily as the back pocket. “If you played against a good team, you could never rest. Just stop them as best you can and then go back to the ruck,” he said. Before making his name as one of the game’s greatest commentators, a young Dennis Cometti was a teammate of Dempsey at West Perth. “He was remarkably athletic and pliant. He had a brilliant pair of hands and was very courageous,” Cometti said. “Bill was a fantastic mark, one of the best I have ever seen, whether from the front or the back of the pack. “He was also a wonderful drop kick and a wonderful tackler. And playing in the back pocket he displayed superb judgment. “He could have gone to Victoria and been a good player.” Footscray and South Melbourne tried to get him, and he had a conversation with Hawthorn. But there was only one club in the VFL he would have considered playing for. SEN.com.au AFL RECORD 15

BILL DEMPSEY He and I fought tooth and nail ... but I loved him to death DEMPSEY ON HIS IDOL ‘POLLY’ FARMER

He was – and still is – a diehard Richmond supporter, but the Tigers never picked up the phone. He does reflect from time to time that he might have played for the club under Tom Hafey and been part of the club’s golden era had they made the call. Not that he was ever unhappy with his football life. The game was his meal ticket and his path to a life he never imagined while living apart from his mother Dorothy while growing up in Darwin. He studied accountancy at night at a technical school next door to West Perth and was able to start his own scaffolding business at a young age. West Perth was a famously multicultural club, with its doors open to anyone. Its playing list was dotted with Italians, Greeks, Macedonians and Slavs. It had a Jewish president. “We were known as the ‘garlic munchers’ and the ‘spaghetti eaters’,” Dempsey said. “If someone had made me an offer, it would have had to be really good to move somewhere else. I was very loyal to West Perth and the Buffaloes.” Dempsey had it written into his contract early that he could return home to play for the Buffaloes every summer. At the end of 1967, he contemplated retiring from the WAFL and returning to Darwin on a permanent basis. But then he heard Farmer was coming home.

16 AFL RECORD

“I knew who he was. He was my idol,” he said. They formed an instant friendship, based initially on how much stick they could give each other. Farmer had been given a dossier on all the players, where it was noted that Dempsey hated training. “‘Poll’ said to me, ‘You’re the laziest bastard I have ever seen,’” Dempsey said. “I said, ‘Poll, I go home to Darwin and play for the Buffaloes. That’s harder than pre-season training. I’m playing footy and then I come back here and I’m already fit.’ “He and I fought tooth and nail. They were good fights, but I loved him to death. I could never upset him.” WAFL footy was played to a high standard during Dempsey’s career. Not many of the better players came to Victoria. But he was quick to remind that getting a kick in Darwin was no mean feat, either. “If you could play footy in Darwin, you could play anywhere. Not many people realised how many good footballers came out of the Territory. Now they do.” The Buffaloes were itinerant. A team for anyone and everyone. “We were a family team and what we did was gather all the kids and the grandkids, grab some Eskies and some food and find the shadiest tree. That’s our club rooms. To this day, they have nothing,” Dempsey said. He played in three flags for them, the last in 1968. The next year

came the first of three flags with West Perth. Apart from when she had been evacuated during the 1942 Japanese bombing raids, his mother had never left Darwin. She had never seen Dempsey play for West Perth. He laughed at the recollection from 1969 of his mother thinking she could get to Perth by bus in time for the Grand Final. She had never set foot on an airplane and had no inkling that she would ever need to. But she was accompanied on the flight by friends and she saw the Falcons win the flag and her son win the Simpson Medal for best afield. “That was fantastic,” he said, and upon reflection it is apparent that in a career full of highlights, this might have topped the list. He played 14 games for WA. One such appearance was at the MCG in 1967, the only game he ever played in Victoria. “To be swept into the state team, I was lucky and I enjoyed myself,” he said. “But I mainly concentrated on West Perth. Going from Darwin to Perth was a big enough step.” But one he negotiated magnificently. “I’m blessed and things came along in life that I’m lucky and thankful for,” he said. “But I always knew football would help me in life with where I wanted to go.”

TRUE BLUE BLOOD: Triple premiership star Mike Fitzpatrick and coach David Parkin hoist the 1981 premiership cup.

MIKE FITZPATRICK GENTLEMAN AND A SCHOLAR

t was a brutal lesson from first-year Carlton coach Alex Jesaulenko that resonated with Mike Fitzpatrick throughout the summer of 1978-79. A lesson that changed the path of his career and sees him now in the Australian Football Hall of Fame. An extraordinary crowd of more than 43,000 had shoehorned themselves into suburban Princes Park on August 5, 1978, for the round 18 meeting between the fourth-placed Carlton and third-placed Collingwood. Jesaulenko had been appointed the Blues’ coach amid turmoil after round six, with just one win from a dismal start to the season, and the side was surging up the ladder for a meeting with the traditional rival that would decide key finals rankings. Fitzpatrick was back in the ranks for just his second match of the

season, having missed the second half of the 1976 season, the entirety of 1977 and all of the early turmoil of 1978 while he completed his studies as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford. He miscalculated the time he would need to get to the ground through the surging crowd and arrived five minutes behind time for Jesaulenko’s team meeting, and the message from the coach hit right between the eyes. “You’re late,” the coach thundered. “You obviously aren’t too interested in playing now that you’re back from overseas. “You’ll play today because you’re named, but you’ll be in the reserves for the rest of the year and you’ll only play again in the seniors for Carlton if you show you’re interested.” That day, Fitzpatrick was good up forward with one goal in the strong 41-point win over the Magpies, but Jesaulenko, true to his word, sent his ruckman back to the seconds and left him there for the remainder of the season as an example to the team as he built discipline around some gruelling training sessions that still live large in the memory for those players. In the run to and through September, the coach never flinched on his hard line, even as the Blues bowed out to Collingwood in the first semi-final. The lasting memory for Fitzpatrick of that season was being Peter Moore’s stepladder for Mark of the Year. “‘Jezza’ had one clear rule. If you’re not committed, you won’t go anywhere in anything,” Fitzpatrick said. The message burned, to the extent that Fitzpatrick drove himself that summer to become the fittest he had been in his life, and a Carlton side filled with talented small men – ‘The Mosquito Fleet’ – was transformed back to power status when its big man took hold of the VFL. More mobile than his rivals, with good hands and an excellent kick for goal, Fitzpatrick had made a strong first impression in 1975, coming to the VFL after making his debut in the WAFL as a teenager and being best and fairest in Subiaco’s drought-breaking 1973 premiership. He was promptly Carlton’s best and fairest in 1979 and a powerful presence in that memorable Grand Final. “After the ’78 season, I decided I needed to put in a huge pre-season and really get myself sorted out,” he said.

“After pre-season in 1979, I felt I was really ready. “My partner, Helen Sykes, had arrived from England. I was 26 and I was potentially at the peak of my career and I was committed. “As a team, we just started well that season. It just went from there and the next five years or so were an absolute peak for the team and myself.” That Carlton team of 1979-82 perhaps doesn’t get the respect it deserves from history with three flags, some truly electric attacking football and being only denied four consecutive flags by the 1980 Richmond side and a spectacular internal blow-up that saw Hall of Fame Legend Jesaulenko quit the club at the end of 1979. When Jesaulenko walked out with president George Harris just weeks after the 1979 flag, amid a power dispute, Fitzpatrick was promoted to the captaincy and asserted himself further across the club and the wider competition. It rankles still that more coaching support around new coach Peter Jones in 1980 was required, but the arrival of David Parkin saw two more flags in 1981-82, with Fitzpatrick at the forefront in a competition where suburban rivalries ruled. “You’d look at the fixture to check the big Melbourne clubs and see the games against the likes of Richmond, Collingwood, Hawthorn or Essendon and they were huge suburban events,” he said. “It was just tribal within Melbourne and fabulous to be part of. “At Carlton at this time, flags were the only acceptable outcome for the club. It’s an over-riding feeling through the whole club that we are going to take this, and it’s our job to win the flag.” Off the field, Fitzpatrick was also rising quickly through the ranks in his business career, first at Telecom (now Telstra) and then with the Victorian Government in a key role that included major international contract negotiations. “My football balanced my work and my work balanced my football, but it basically meant there was no down time in my life to just relax or do not much,” he said. By 1983, his job had expanded to the point that training sessions were being impacted and a serious ankle injury from late in the 1982 Grand Final had him considering his future – albeit as a young veteran at 30 with SEN.com.au AFL RECORD 17

250 games across two states and four premierships in all. “By the end of 1983, I was slowing down with a bit of age and soreness that affects everyone and it was time for a new part of my life,” he said. The second part of Fitzpatrick’s life in football is equally significant on the game’s history – initially as a club director at Carlton, but primarily as an AFL Commissioner and then chair for a decade. In his time at the top, the Gold Coast Suns and the GWS Giants entered the competition and the AFLW was created. These were decisions that will impact Australian Football long after we are all gone – yet Fitzpatrick gave back to the game for no financial reward, but with plenty of hours, plenty of angst and bucketloads of examination and criticism. Why do it and expose yourself to a thousand opinions after you’ve already had a career’s worth of feedback about your playing exploits? “I had got an awful lot out football and it was an opportunity for me to give time back to the game,” he said. “The AFL has the great advantage that if there is something in the game that needs to be dealt with, we can address it through the game’s leadership right here, unlike most world sports. “I had a very strong view about how the game was being played, along with a clear view on what we had to do for the comfort of people going to the game by improving our stadiums, suburban and country

facilities, digitise the game by developing the AFL website, app and games, and a few other things. “I felt all those things needed to change and improve, because our supporters would not tolerate standing around in the rain forever, and it was plainly obvious we needed a much bigger role for women in the game. “AFLW and women and girls in our game has just been terrific.” Fitzpatrick admits the pace of the AFLW’s growth pleasantly surprised him and remains deeply attached to the role of the Commission in the game and the fundamental changes it can bring. As Commission chair for a decade, one of his tasks was to also chair the Hall of Fame selection committee, and this last acknowledgement of a lifetime in football waited while he filled that role. Across a decade, he quietly told his fellow selectors he wouldn’t brook discussion on his candidacy while he was leading meetings, but the recent call from current chair Richard Goyder was indeed a thrill. “As chairman, you used to get to make the phone calls to new inductees and congratulate them on their contributions to our game,” he said. “To be on the other end of that phone call, it was … just … terrific.” There’s no break in the voice, but the pause is significant on what it means for him, wife Helen (who has watched more than 600 AFL/VFL games herself) and the wider Fitzpatrick clan. It is 50 years next year since St Kilda premiership star Ross Smith led a Subiaco side containing

Fitzpatrick to a breakthrough premiership. The time has rushed and football has given a lifetime of memories and a rich collection of friendships. “The group of (Barry) Armstrong, (Trevor) Keogh, (Geoff) Southby, (David) McKay, Rod Austin and ‘Perce’ (Jones) has been an enduring friendship group for 45 years and we still catch up at least once a year. It was an honour to play with them,” he said. “There is another friendship group of the younger players at Carlton like ‘Sellers’ Maclure and the mosquitos and a lifetime with strong friends like Ross Smith, David Parkin and so many others. “Carlton still holds a singular place for me. Just playing with those teams, later leading the Blues out, was a treasured experience. I feel I can always go there and it’s my club.” For the usual questions on the best players, the rivals, the memories, Fitzpatrick says Jesaulenko could do things that no one else could do, Bruce Doull was the best and most consistent teammate of all the Blues he played with, while rival Peter Moore was the on-field measuring stick and now a long-term friend. Football, study and business life took Fitzpatrick from Perth to Melbourne, Oxford and New York. Even on the other side of the world, he couldn’t leave football alone and was helping organise games in Oxford and Central Park. “I doubt I would have won the Rhodes Scholarship without my football profile, and that opened up so many pathways,” he said. “So much opportunity has come into my life because of football.” PATRICK KEANE

AGELESS ROO: AFL games record-holder Brent Harvey tasted the ultimate success in 1999.

BRENT HARVEY THE NEVER-ENDING STORY

ore than five years after the last of his record 432 AFL games, Brent Harvey still looks like he could slot into the North Melbourne side tomorrow. Supremely fit, he looks the image of his playing days when he was a five-time best and fairest and four-time All-Australian, if only a touch more grey. Well, that’s probably because his playing days haven’t actually finished. He’s still running around in division one community football with North Heidelberg in Melbourne’s Northern Football League, breaking away from packs, dodging bemused defenders and kicking plenty of goals, all with the thrill of playing alongside his brother Shane and, amazingly for one game last year, with eldest son Cooper. Harvey loved training, loved working on his skills, loved being a one-club man at the Kangaroos and just loved every part of playing footy. It’s why he still plays, and why Hall of Fame induction is such an

honour that it takes his breath away when he reflects on it. “To be really good at footy, because it’s such a hard game to play, you just have to love it and be prepared to do the work over and over again and to learn everything you can possibly find out,” Harvey said. “I wanted to train all the time from the time I was a little kid, which wasn’t much smaller than I am now, and I still love training and I still love playing. “There’s going to be a day when I won’t be able to play, so I play every game I can.” On the occasion of his drafting, then North Melbourne coach Denis Pagan was famously said to have remarked to his recruiting staff, “I want footballers and you’ve got me a jockey.” It wasn’t the first time Harvey had heard the taunt growing up in Preston, but none at the Kangaroos would possibly know the intensity of the fire burning within the bargain pick No. 47 after years of similar comments before he’d even played a senior game.

“Everybody wanted to judge me on my size when I was a young player, so I always felt I had a lot to prove,” he said. “I could do my best work on the field and show everybody I could be a good player. “I thought I could out-run everyone and that I had pace.” In his first year of 1996, the North side was too strong for him to be there on Grand Final day, but by the 1999 flag, he had starred in the last of the State of Origin contests between Victoria and SA with five goals, and everyone knew he was a dangerous forward. And he had pace. For the turn of the century and a new decade in a changing North team, he elevated himself to the elite of competition midfielders, while never losing his ability to kick a goal. “From afar, I would watch Robert Harvey and Shane Crawford and how they ran in games and I knew I would have to get to their levels to get the best out of myself,” he said. “Denis Pagan was absolutely pivotal for me to become the best footballer I could be. He taught me so much about work rate and beating taggers and what I had to do. “I had great coaches all the way through at North, and had a good relationship with each of them, but Denis and I have that premiership bond and he was a hard figure that I needed for my football. “He was totally ruthless, but I loved it.” Harvey was fiery at times as he dealt with bigger opponents and taggers and jokes now that Pagan could have been to blame. “He did tell me, ‘You don’t want to be pushed around on the field and you might have to take a week at the Tribunal every now and then’, but I put that in my book and then he denied he said it to me, but he said it.” Starting his career in that era under Pagan in the mid-late 1990s, Harvey assumed there would be regular finals every year and more premierships to come. It didn’t pan out that way, but even now he finds himself dropping ‘Pagan-isms’ before he realises he is saying them, and he cherishes playing his whole career at Arden St. “I’m here now playing with my brother and I’m saying stuff like, ‘Practice matches are like dancing with your sister’,” he said. “If you have a teammate kick a couple a cheap goals late in the game SEN.com.au AFL RECORD 19

AFL RECORD HALL OF FAME against a poor team, well ‘Snowy’ off the tram could do that’.” A CV of 432 games in the AFL – a record that seems an impossible mountain for another player to climb – combined with his multiple club and All-Australian honours made him a first-year walk-in for the Hall of Fame selectors, but not to the man himself. “It was a shock to get the call from Richard Goyder. I had to text him back and apologise later and say sorry that I seemed so quiet, but I was so surprised and I didn’t want to make a scene,” he said. “I didn’t know anything about the eligibility and how long a person has to be retired for, and you’re not sure if what you did is enough to get in there for the Hall of Fame when you know the people that are in there. “It was incredibly important to me to be a one-club player and I’m proud I stayed my whole career with North and never went anywhere else.” At the end of it all, it’s the friendships that he cherishes – Drew Petrie, Daniel Wells, Stuart Cochrane, Daniel Harris and Lindsay Thomas of his contemporaries and Anthony Stevens of his older teammates – and that North is a home for him.

LOYALTY: Harvey is proud he stayed a one-club player throughout his 432-game career.

20 AFL RECORD

He looks back fondly on the clashes with the likes of Cameron Ling, Shaun Hart and Kane Cornes, even if they drove him nuts at the time. Approaching 44, the game has given him this chance now to play a good standard of football with his brother and that game alongside his son Cooper last year, who is now forging his own path. He says that experience rates alongside the 1999 premiership. “I was such a stress-head about my training and playing at North that I never really enjoyed having my brother in the same team, and we only got a few games together,” he said. “Once I finished at North, it was really important to me to be able to play some footy with my brother and it was such a great thing to have a premiership with him and then to play a senior game as well with Cooper. “I put those things in the last few years alongside the premiership with North as the best things to have happened to me in football.” Harvey’s younger son Hudson turns 11 this year, so don’t rule out another father-son senior game just yet.

PERFECTIONIST: Michael Taylor was relentless with his preparation for Norwood and Collingwood (opposite page).

MICHAEL TAYLOR PRIDE OF THE PARADE

ord had reached one of the big clubs in Adelaide that a young footballer from Reedy Creek, 30km or so out of Kingston in South Australia’s south-east, was showing exceptional promise. A letter was forwarded to the parents of Michael Taylor, only boy of seven children on the family farm running 6000 sheep and 800 cattle, inviting him up to the big smoke in Adelaide to complete his schooling, start in the junior ranks and have the opportunity to become another great of this club’s proud SANFL history. Parents Kathleen and Stan considered the letter and, while young Michael was keen to go to the club he supported from afar, they ultimately said no. He was 13. The family ruled he was not ready to join Port Adelaide at such a tender age and follow in the footsteps of his hero John Cahill. Fast forward two years and with Taylor already playing senior football in the country, this time arch rival Norwood came knocking. Legendary club administrator (and AFL life member) Wally Miller sat down to outline to his parents how the Redlegs would look after young Michael in the city, placing him in the care of a newly-established house specifically built for country recruits and overseen by the mother of one of the other young players at the club. A young boy in the city would be found employment and never left to his own devices, and the pitch won over Kathleen. The Taylors said ‘yes’ this time. And so Norwood claimed a player who sits as one of just four official on-field Legends of its own storied 144-year SANFL history and 30 premierships for the red and blue of the Parade in Adelaide’s inner eastern suburbs. Taylor enters the Hall of Fame as a club-record six-time best and fairest, multiple state representative when it was the pinnacle of the game and member of two of the club’s most famous premiership sides.

breeze at West Lakes in the last quarter against a Glenelg side that had set all manner of scoring records that year, including a still-record senior score of 49.23 (317). By 1978, he was in the centre controlling the midfield as captain for a flag claimed by one point in the club’s centenary year, after the Redlegs trailed Sturt by 29 points at the last change, knowing they had lost to their foes three times already that year. In every year at the club, he played finals and was simply never out of the best players. Across the home and away season, his duels with the likes of Russell Ebert, Graham Cornes and Paul Bagshaw were the reason to go to the footy. Taylor says he was blessed by the game, both to encounter the friends he met from the first day at the club and to play under the coaches he had. SANFL Hall of Fame member Robert Oatey led him first, emphasising skill, skill and more skill, with his later mentors being Bob Hammond and Neil Balme at Norwood, then Tom Hafey and Cahill himself at Collingwood, respectively teaching and emphasising hardness, leadership, relentlessness and durability. “Every one of my coaches was a great of the game, which was so lucky for me, and I was a sponge for what they told me,” Taylor said. “On my arrival in the city, Norwood put me up at the house they built for the country lads – Carmel Court – and I met John Wynne, who changed my life.” Carmel Court housed up to 16 teens and young men at any one time, with a disciplined, respectful house run by Ann Carman, the attentive and kindly mother of the spectacular and unpredictable Phil. Wynne had come to Adelaide hoping to make his way to the VFL after a premiership with West Perth, but found Norwood to his liking amid a troupe of talented youths keen to better their football and stayed for a decade, transforming the club as captain after Oatey’s departure. Taylor was a willing young disciple, as Wynne gave new life to a club that had lost its way since its most recent flag in 1950. “John Wynne was a natural leader and we wanted to follow him,” he said. “That house in Carmel Court produced 12 separate players who were part of Norwood premierships

in the 1970s and 1980s and we just lived for footy.” Of average height and not blessed with exceptional speed or a magnificent leap, Taylor was very quickly great because of everything else he did on and off the field. In his own words, “a wild over-trainer”, he was relentless with his preparation and devotion to his skills and had endurance that would run every other player into the ground. “The longer a game went, the more I knew I could punish my opponent and be getting the ball and doing something with it,” Taylor recalled. “I studied the game relentlessly, always asking my coaches and other players and anyone I could get for information to be learning about what opponents did, and what I would have to do against them. “The only time I would get really nervous before a game was when I was facing someone new, and I didn’t know what he may do. But once I’d seen them for a quarter or two, I felt I knew their game and would never forget it.” A midfielder throughout his junior days, like most young stars, Taylor’s arrival at Norwood in 1971 saw Oatey place him in defence to learn. He was best and fairest in year two (1972) and three (1973) and was quickly elevated to vice-captain behind Wynne. Hammond, a member of the Hall of Fame himself and a triple premiership player at North Adelaide, arrived at the Parade in 1974 with the task of turning talented young players into hardened premiership men. “Bob Hammond moved me up the field and then I really started to take off,” Taylor said. In the mid-late 1970s, the SANFL was a strong competition with excellent crowds and Taylor loved it, as one of its stars. His best and fairest tally had quickly expanded out to five and been central to the pinnacle of team success with two flags, one of them as captain. After a narrow Grand Final loss in 1980 to a truly great Port Adelaide team of that year (a tough admission for a Norwood fan), his new coach of one season, Balme, challenged him again. Not to be fitter, or develop a new skill, or take on more leadership, but to leave the club and head east and test his footy at another level in a different league. “Neil Balme said I should play in the VFL for myself, to find out how

I would go,” Taylor said. “I’d played 10 seasons by then and more than 200 games and thought I had done most things, but I absolutely loved my four years in Victoria.” After the experience of Hafey and Cahill as coaches, and the regular excitement of huge matches in front of the Collingwood hordes, including the 1981 Grand Final, Taylor returned home to Adelaide and promptly claimed another best and fairest as he considered his sunset days as a player. Ready to retire at the end of 1987, despite being within sight of becoming the first Redleg to reach 300 senior games, even with nearly 90 games with Collingwood, a call out of the blue enticed him back to Victoria Park as Leigh Matthews’ playing assistant. He spent three years on-field teaching the Magpies’ reserves what to do and where to run during games, including several future premiership players, and at times had Matthews considering him for senior promotion, which he refused. Taylor was at Matthews’ side for the thrill of another drought-breaking premiership in 1990, leading then to coaching stints with the Adelaide Crows, the SA state team and heading up his own team at West Adelaide. Footy has been central for more than 50 years of his life. “I am eternally grateful to the game. Footy was the gateway for my life,” Taylor said. “The whole picture of my life was set up by Norwood and I’m in a happy place thanks to them.” PATRICK KEANE SEN.com.au AFL RECORD 21

AFL RECORD HALL OF FAME

MATTHEW PAVLICH FREO’S FINEST

here are sliding doors moments in everyone’s life and Matthew Pavlich occasionally harks back to one of his.

Had Pavlich signed a two-year deal with Fremantle when drafted at the end of 1999, he would still be about to enter the Australian Football Hall of Fame – but it would likely have been wearing the silver and teal, black and white of Port Adelaide. He was a superstar. The 10,000-hour rule, as floated by Swedish psychology professor Anders Ericsson and widely promoted by writer Malcolm Gladwell, has never been properly tested when it comes to Australian Football, but Pavlich might be a case study. He grew up in Adelaide surrounded by the game and completely obsessed by it. His father Steve and his uncle Mark both played for the old West Torrens in the SANFL. As a junior, Pavlich displayed all the traits to suggest he would become a very good AFL footballer. He ended up much more than that. “It was never forced, it was just there as an ever present,” he said. “Dad was the coach of the Woodville-West Torrens under-17s, so we’d wake up on a Saturday morning, I’d play my junior footy, go watch my sister play netball and then we’d go to the senior game, so I was given access to a senior environment that nobody else would have at that age. “I have this visceral memory of the sounds, the smells, the language (good and bad) and the stories and the actions. So I played it and lived it and that helped get me ready.” Irrespective of where he played his AFL footy, a stellar career beckoned. And so it proved it to be. Because his first contract was for three years, not the two that was usually the standard for drafted players, he never returned home to play in South Australia when Port Adelaide came hard early on. He remained at Fremantle, is so glad he did so, and becomes the first Hall of Fame inductee to play his entire career for the club.

A LIFE’S MISSION: Debbie Lee has played a pivotol role in getting women’s football to where it is today.

I had a real dedication to the game and my body MATTHEW PAVLICH

Pavlich’s career took off in 2002 when, after Chris Connolly’s first season as coach, he blossomed as a key defender and won the first of his six All-Australian blazers. It was plain the club was building something after the disappointment of a two-win season in 2001. He loved the year or so he spent as a defender. In a way it completed his football education, having played primarily up forward as a junior. Before much longer, he would return there and that’s where he achieved greatness. Under Connolly, and at the direction of fitness coach Adam Larcom, Pavlich thrived. “They had a different philosophy around using the bench and physical training,” he said.

“It was all about speed and endurance and Olympic lifting and that certainly suited my body type – sprint effort and repeat efforts rather than longer aerobic sessions and that allowed me to play in different positions.” Pavlich was a physical freak. He played a minimum of 18 games a year in every season over his career, except for 2013 when an achilles injury restricted him to 12. Of the 353 games he played for the Dockers, 155 were outside Western Australia. Nearly every second game he played came after flying to the other side of the country. “I had a decent amount of luck,” he said. “I had 12 surgeries, but nothing that interrupted a whole year.

PHYSICAL FREAK: A six-time All-Australian, Matthew Pavlich was the first Fremantle player to play 300 games and kick 700 goals.

“I had a real dedication to the game and to my body. Jumping into the beach when nobody wanted to, extra yoga sessions when nobody wanted to, dotting every ‘i’ and crossing every ‘t’ when it came to ice baths and physio. “It was using all of those at my disposal to get the most out of my body.” The beauty of making the Hall of Fame is that those about to be inducted often feel less shy about talking up their strengths and Pavlich only needed a little prompt to talk about where his assets lay on the field. “Ability to read the play, explosive and repeat efforts,” he said when asked to self-scout. “If I was playing on a tall or cumbersome opponent, I was able to take them up to a stoppage and get them lost there, and on a smaller player, I could isolate them deep. That kind of variety was really important. “At my peak I was able to run players into the ground and get them later in games, having the ability to kick the ball from a long way out and be pretty crafty close to goals. That’s where my strengths lay.” Pavlich’s trophy cabinet is stacked with individual honours. Six club best and fairests, eight times leading goalkicker and, in 2012, the Coleman Medal. All that is missing is a premiership medal.

Fremantle lost the Grand Final to Hawthorn in 2013. It doesn’t consume him, but as he said, “the mind wanders and at random points you do think about it. (We kicked) 8.14 and five on the full and we lost by 15 points.” That game came three weeks after his career highlight, beating Geelong in the qualifying final at GMHBA Stadium, the first and only final in Victoria under the AFL banner not played at the MCG, Marvel Stadium or the old Waverley Park. “That galvanised us,” Pavlich said. “We felt we got the raw end of the stick and we kind of shoved it up the AFL who advocated having the game and perhaps even Geelong itself.” The one that got away might have been in 2015 when the Dockers lost a home preliminary final to Hawthorn. “The only time I ever cried after a game of footy,” he said. “We probably knew that deep down, that team was at an end. We were pretty much done.”

Ross Lyon coached that group and is rated by Pavlich as the best coach he played under. “He could make all the complex stats, systems and structures very easy to understand and made his players give their greatest effort,” he said.

“He empowered his leaders. He would challenge me, but allowed

MODEST SUPERSTAR: West Perth’s Ted Tyson was one of just 12 players in AFL/VFL, WAFL and SANFL history to kick more than 1000 goals.

TED TYSON THE GOAL KING OF THE WEST

ood thing for Ted Tyson that he did the right thing by his mother. In the lead-up to the 1930 WAFL season, the promising 20-year-old forward from a prominent Kalgoorlie football family missed West Perth’s opening scratch match against East Fremantle, preferring to play cricket instead. Tyson’s mother was waiting at the railway station to collect him that morning to take him to the game, but to no avail. The club then dispatched a tersely worded letter to Tyson expressing its disappointment and mentioning that his absence left his mother feeling “down in the dumps”.

24 AFL RECORD

Tyson pleased his mother – and the club – by turning up to play the next week, this time in the season-opener, also against East Fremantle, and it was the start of a magnificent career that has culminated with his induction into the Australian Football Hall of Fame. His numbers are incredible. He played 232 games for the Cardinals, as they were known, between 1930 and 1945, kicking 1203 goals at an average of 5.25 a game. He finished six seasons having kicked 100 goals or more, was an 11-time leading goalkicker for West Perth and headed the WAFL goalkicking on four occasions. His most remarkable game might have been on September 10, 1938, in an eight-point loss to Swan Districts when he kicked 17 out of West Perth’s 18 goals. The odd aspect to Tyson’s career is how relatively few state games he featured in for Western Australia.

He played just four times, all at the 1933 carnival in Sydney. Before then, George Moloney was the first-choice full-forward for the state, while from 1934 it was East Fremantle’s George Doig, a 2002 inductee into the Hall of Fame, who regularly got the nod. It seems odd that the WA selectors never thought to pick them at the same time and perhaps instruct the coaches to find a way to make them play alongside each other. Still, Tyson forged a mighty career. According to his son, Craig, he was not overly tall at 177cm, but was a terrific player at ground level. “He was a natural right-footer, but could kick equally well with both feet and was reportedly excellent with the snap-shot,” he said. “He told me on a number of occasions that some of the players he played with were very good at delivering the ball, so he didn’t have to rely on high marking. They could pinpoint the ball to him pretty well.” Tyson was the nephew of Charlie Tyson, who played 106 games for Collingwood and 38 for North Melbourne between 1920-29. Charlie had five brothers who all played to a high standard in Kalgoorlie and elsewhere. One of those was Sam Tyson, who was Ted’s father. “My father was very serious about his football because he had to travel a lot to train and play in the early days,” Craig Tyson said. “He must have been keen because there wasn’t much money involved. You played for the love of the game.” Tyson remained a keen West Perth man after he retired. Dennis Cometti, a young West Perth forward before becoming a broadcasting icon, recalls chatting with Tyson, who took a key interest in all the emerging forwards at the club. “He was just a very nice man,” he said. West Perth people are delighted at what they believe is long overdue recognition of Tyson. It means that 10 of the 12 players to have kicked more than 1000 career goals in the AFL/VFL, SANFL or WAFL have now made it into the Hall of Fame. Only Port Adelaide’s Tim Evans and current-day superstar Lance Franklin have yet to make it. Tyson was exceedingly modest, but as son Craig said, “He would have been delighted and surprised to make the Hall of Fame. “I never expected it and didn’t believe it would happen.”

NICKY WINMAR TRAILBLAZER

t Kilda has finished training at RSEA Park on a chilly Tuesday morning. Those who have hung around to watch the reserves team train, have a coffee in the café and check out the historical artifacts, are soon in for an unexpected treat. Elvis is in the house. Or, as he is formally known, Neil Elvis ‘Nicky’ Winmar. Everyone gravitates towards him as he walks through the club’s reception area. Players, coaches, staff members and fans. Especially, the fans. “It’s good to see that they still want to say hello,” he said after

signing the last jumper and posing for the final selfie. St Kilda hasn’t enjoyed as much team success as most clubs, but has had no shortage of superstars. Winmar sits comfortably among them and is the Saints’ newest member of the Australian Football Hall of Fame. Winmar landed at Moorabbin in 1987 just as the winds of change were sweeping through the club. Favourite son Darrel Baldock agreed to leave his farm in Tasmania to become coach and instead of recycling discards from rival clubs, the Saints began to develop their own talent. They were also fortunate that Winmar, then playing under Mal Brown and Don Haddow at South Fremantle, was one of the last players to sign with a VFL club under the old Form Four system that pre-dated the National Draft. Kevin Sheedy was sniffing around trying to get him to Essendon, while West Coast was about to join the

competition and had earmarked him for its inaugural 35-player squad. But he honoured his commitment to the Saints, sparking a love affair between player and club that exists to this day. He enjoyed a 12-month cameo with the Western Bulldogs to close out his playing career in 1999, but St Kilda is home. “I was a bit scared and a bit nervous at the start,” he said. “I came over here having watched The Winners on TV, guys like Leigh Matthews would knock a few blokes over. “They were strong boys. We used to watch and think, ‘Whoa!’. We were skinny kids and our development time hadn’t come.” The first thing he did when he came to St Kilda was to hit the gym. “Even though I was 21 when I came over, I was still pretty slim. I got into the weights because I had to be stronger,” he said. “We were dedicated with what we wanted to do.” He played 20 matches in his first year. He was fit, fast and a superb user of the football. He was an excellent mark for his build and height and was an instant favourite of success-starved Saints fans. “My pace was my main strength,” he said. “And also the way I got the footy, handled it and delivered it. I was always quick. As each week went on, I got better at it. I felt I could play this game.” And nor did it matter that his home ground had what was universally regarded as the worst playing surface in the League. “When it got muddy, it did slow the other guys down a bit, but I still had some pace,” he said. It also helped that he had some handy players further up the ground to kick to. Tony Lockett became a star in 1987, kicking 117 goals, while Stewart Loewe began his ascension towards becoming one of the premier centre half-forwards in the League. “It all started in the middle and the way we went about it,” Winmar said. “We got it out a few times and, if it worked, it worked. The way we delivered the footy, if Lockett was in front, he was going to get it because he was a very strong and powerful man.” Winmar won his first best and fairest in 1989, together with his first All-Australian blazer.

with Ken Sheldon as coach, the Saints started their rise. They made the 1991 finals for the first time in 17 years and returned there the following year. “The start of the 1990s were great because we started to develop into a really good side,” Winmar said. “The guys believed in each other, we were mates and we started to beat the sides we didn’t think we could beat.” The lure of team success drove Winmar to great heights, but so too did the post-match phone call to his parents, Neil and Meryle, back in Pingelly, Western Australia. “Every time I played a bad game, my old man would not speak to me for a week,” he said. “I’d ring Mum and she’d say, ‘He doesn’t want to talk to you. You know why, you let him down and played a bad game’. “He used to listen and watch all the time. Then he’d get on the phone before the next game and he’d give me a serve. “He knew footy. He didn’t care if I broke even with someone, but he didn’t like me losing, even when I played on a tougher opponent or was tagged heavily.” His father was a hard man. “The weekly phone call drove me as much as anything, but it started when I was 14 when I started working in the shearing sheds with him,” Winmar said.

“He’d make the boss stop the truck five kilometres from home and make me run the rest of the way after a hard day of shearing. “I’d ask him, ‘What’s all this for?’ and he’d say, ‘You’ll find out’. He saw a gift in me with my footy.” By 1993, Winmar was a national figure. He raised his jumper and pointed to his chest after an afternoon of being racially vilified by Collingwood supporters at Victoria Park. He didn’t remember having done it until he saw photographer Wayne Ludbey’s famous picture plastered on the front page of The Sunday Age the following day. He didn’t love all the attention it brought and felt he was fighting a tough and lonely battle until the Michael Long-Damian Monkhorst episode two years later. “I knew I had support, but what happened to Michael made it stronger.” Winmar believes his best season came in 1995. Another best and fairest and All-Australian selection again. Two years later, St Kilda made the Grand Final and lost to Adelaide, but with his father gravely ill, Winmar’s build-up to the game was less than ideal. His father passed away the night before the game. “I spoke to him two days before that and I told Mum, no matter what happens, don’t ring me before the Grand Final,” he said.

AN AUDIENCE WITH

Tony Lockett

Hall of Fame Legend Tony Lockett provided the induction to welcome Nicky Winmar into the Australian Football Hall of Fame. While Lockett has stepped back into private life since his playing days, here is the backstory behind his willingness to talk about the brilliance of his former St Kilda teammate. PATRICK KEANE

Australian Football Hall of Fame Secretary

t was an exploratory text message, sent in the hope to ask if the most prolific goalkicker in AFL/VFL history would be happy to induct his former teammate, Nicky Winmar, into the Australian Football Hall of Fame. Tony ‘Plugger’ Lockett, who has lived quietly in private life since he ruled the goalsquare for St Kilda and the Sydney Swans in the 1980s and 1990s, responded in a matter of minutes. While he stays away from most games and big industry events such as Hall of Fame nights, he would be available if it was to make an induction special for a greatly-loved teammate. But he was succinct as always. “No problems. Call you tomorrow. Plugger,” was the response. From there, a short chat to confirm location details for filming, and it was settled. We were to be ready with a film crew inside a week in southern Queensland and Plugger would drive up to meet us near Coolangatta airport, chat about Winmar, and then head home again. “10.30 next Thursday sounds good. Cheers. Plugger.” In the warm Queensland weather, he arrived in shorts, polo shirt and thongs and was ready to go dead on time, just as promised. Once the first question on Winmar was posed, the words spilled out and barely stopped, until we were done. “One of the most skilful footballers that I’ve ever seen,” he said. “He could do it all. He could kick on both feet, he’d take hangers, he’d never fumble and he covered the ground so well. “He could play forward, play midfield and you know he could play back, but you wouldn’t waste him there.” As Plugger talked of the days at Moorabbin, and a St Kilda side of the time that turned from an outfit that had claimed four successive wooden spoons

to one knocking on the door for higher honours, the most noticeable thing was his hands. They never stopped moving as he talked of Winmar. They sometimes went to a marking pose, when talking of leading in front of Winmar and his bullet passes, or they waved excitedly as he recounted a piece of play where the No. 7 would win the ball and look up towards the No. 4. He clapped his hands together loudly to recreate the sound of the ball hitting Winmar’s boot at training, and how pure a kick he was. “Some of his performances at Moorabbin, when he was turning it on, the crowd would just erupt and it was just the most spectacular place to play footy,” Lockett said. “There would be times where I’d be thinking I’m not sure how he can get it to me here, but he’d get the ball through a gap that I couldn’t see. “Other times on a lead, it was kicked that hard and fast that you wanted to know your hands were sure as the ball would smack you in the face if you weren’t careful. “Whoever had to come to Moorabbin and play on Nicky as his opponent, well, they

knew they were in for an afternoon of football,” he laughed. The words and memories bounce out for some 25 minutes until we are done and they draw a thanks from one crew member, for agreeing to talk about Winmar and being so expansive. “I’m honoured to speak about Nicky,” he said. “He was a great player and a great teammate. I loved playing with him and they were special days.” As an obvious follow-up question then, where does Winmar rate among those you played alongside, Plugger? “I don’t ever want to single out one player from my teammates,” Lockett said. “I call them ‘the group’ because they were the group of great players I saw up close – (Robert) Harvey, (Stewart) Loewe, Winmar, (Nathan) Burke, (Paul) Kelly. “To me, they are all on the same level and they are ‘the group’ of great players.” Upon finishing, it was a quick shake of the hand and a photo for one unabashed St Kilda fan, and he was on his way. There can be no higher honour for a player when a Legend of the Game goes out of his way to induct you into the Hall of Fame. SEN.com.au AFL RECORD 27

RICH 68 – PA 47 FINAL SCORE

RICH 11.11 (77) PA 10.5 (65) u After a bye in round 12, Richmond

came bounding out of the blocks against Port Adelaide last week, booting five goals to two in the first quarter to set up a 12-point win. In what was ultimately a battle of territory, the ball spent more time inside Richmond’s forward half, as highlighted by the inside-50 count of 64-48 the Tigers’ way. The scrappy nature of the contest meant both sides demonstrated poor efficiency inside 50, with Richmond’s 43.8 per cent and Port Adelaide’s 35.4 per cent both well down on season averages. Entering a contest they needed to win to stay in touch with the top eight, the Tigers had the game on their terms for larger stretches. There has been plenty of debate over the past week whether Richmond is back to the Tigers of old, and the footy world won’t truly know until the pointy end of the season. However, their brand of desperation and surging it forward was evident last week. Richmond had 68 one-percenters, 13 above its season average and well ahead of the Power’s total of 47. Prepared to push the ball forward, the Tigers took eight bounces compared to just one by Port Adelaide as Damien Hardwick’s side showed its liking for taking territory. It was the Tigers of old in round 13 – now can they keep it up for the rest of the season? SEB MOTTRAM

ANSWER MAN

with GRAHAM PILKINGTON

u The last of the bye

Chris Scott has coached Geelong for 11 seasons and each year has had more wins than losses. Is that a record for so many seasons? STEPHEN BILLINGHAM, MURRAY BRIDGE, SA

MIDAS TOUCH: Cats coach Chris Scott and former Tigers and Blues mentor Percy Bentley (inset).

GP: Chris Scott is in equal fifth place, level with Richmond legend Jack Dyer, who also achieved the feat in his first 11 seasons as coach. Scott had a 69 per cent success rate to the end of 2021. Percy Bentley had 16 consecutive winning seasons, starting in 1934 as a playing-coach at Richmond before moving to Carlton in 1941 as coach, despite getting the Tigers to the Grand Final the year before. He finished his career with four premierships – three as coach. Jock McHale is in second place on 15, which formed part of a record 31 successful seasons at Collingwood and eight flags as a coach. So many consecutive winning seasons is not an easy feat to achieve. Recent coaches Alastair Clarkson and John Worsfold, who won premierships at Hawthorn and West Coast respectively, both had 10 winning seasons (Worsfold had seven at the Eagles and three at Essendon), but they were not consecutive. While none of the nine coaches on the list below won a flag in the last season of their consecutive run, four of them got their teams to the Grand Final.

rounds saw two matches originally scheduled in Melbourne – Hawthorn v Essendon (MCG) and North Melbourne v Brisbane (Marvel Stadium) – moved to Tasmania, while the Geelong v Western Bulldogs clash at GMHBA Stadium was capped at 7000 fans. Trailing by a point, Geelong ran the ball the length of the ground in the final minute to find forward Gary Rohan, who coolly slotted the match-winner after the siren from 45m out. The Cats’ win was soured by a knee injury to Mitch Duncan. It was a similar story the following day when Port Adelaide star Robbie Gray, in his 250th game, suffered a PCL injury in the Power’s big win over Gold Coast. The Lions held out a gallant North at Blundstone Arena while the pressure mounted on Carlton coach David Teague after the Blues’ disappointing 36-point loss to GWS. The biggest crowd of the round – 14,834 – saw Essendon down Hawthorn by 13 points at UTAS Stadium with Bomber Jake Stringer (29 disposals, four goals) starring.

u The AFL is seeking the dates of death for the following players. Hailing from Leongatha, James Kenneth McDonald, who was born on June 14, 1916, played for Melbourne in 1942. His brother Alan represented Richmond between 1939-43 and later coached the Tigers. Former Oakleigh and Carlton seconds player Albert Joseph Williams played with North Melbourne in 1943. He was born on August 13, 1916. If you can assist, contact Col Hutchinson at col.hutchinson@afl.com.au.

FANTASY PIG OF THE WEEK u Out of nowhere, a bloke averaging just 68 got his snout out and overindulged against the lowly Roos … and we love it. In a game where many Giants were let off the chain, it was Harry Himmelberg who took it to the next level, scoring a whopping 161, which included 37 possessions and 16 marks. It was his second triple-figure score of the year and, interestingly, his second in two matches. He looks to be another Giant who is benefiting from a new coach, given his previous top score before these hundreds was 74 … which coincidentally was Mark ‘Spike’ McVeigh’s first game at the helm. I think you are picking up on the pattern here.

HONOURABLE MENTIONS

u It was business as usual for Andrew Brayshaw … just dominant. The young star backed up his 131 from the previous week with another outstanding performance of 37 possessions, six marks, six tackles and a game-sealing goal for 141. Sam Docherty reminded everyone why he sits at the top of Roy’s Rollin’ 22 with a classy 135, mopping up

across half-back against the Bombers, while Hawk Jaeger O’Meara fought gallantly against the Dockers for 134. Hard-running Giant Lachie Whitfield returned seamlessly from injury. He scored 130, which included 14 marks, and will be a popular trade target.

TRISTAN XERRI NM, RUC/FWD – 82 u After taking a couple of weeks to regain his form following an injury layoff, the Roos big man was back to his old self against the Giants, despite the one-sided affair. He had 14 possessions, three marks, three tackles and 27 hit-outs while sharing ruck duties with Todd Goldstein. BEN HOBBS ESS, MID/FWD – 79 u The well-built youngster certainly gave his all against the Blues, never giving up on his way to 17 possessions, six marks and a goal.

MID u Was one of the form players of the competition before the last round. Had five triple-figure scores in his previous six games, but succumbed to a calf complaint last week. Looks set for a stint on the sidelines.

u One of the most underrated midfielders in the competition is ripe for the picking following his bye. He is averaging 112 and has arguably the easiest run home for a midfielder. He is in career-best form in recent weeks, dropping under triple figures on just one occasion.

u After dropping $136K since the start of the season, the hard-working Sun is the perfect addition for the run home. Has hit his straps with three hundreds in his past four games.

ZACH MERRETT

ESSENDON

MID u The popular trade-in target struggled against the Blues with a score of just 88.

u This week was a prime example of why it’s worth structuring your team to have more than 18 players available over the bye rounds. The footy gods are enjoying wreaking havoc with injuries.

u Bye plans are out the window for most coaches as illness, protocols, injuries and indiscretions have hurt throughout the past two weeks. It’s survival at this point, so do what you need to.

Tigers v Blues

ROUND

HEAD to HEAD

TURNING THE TABLES: Boom recruit Adam Cerra drives the ball forward as the Blues ended an 11-game losing streak against the Tigers in round one.

Played 224: Richmond 96, Carlton 126, draws 2. Since 2017: Richmond 7, Carlton 1. Most recent game: round 1, 2022, Richmond lost to Carlton by 25 points at the MCG. Highest attendance: 119,165, Grand Final, 1969, at the MCG.

RICHMOND

Home record: 57-56 Away record: 39-70-2 Highest score: 25.24 (174), round 1, 1978, at the MCG. Lowest score: 2.9 (21), round 10, 1958, at Princes Park. Greatest winning margin: 85 points, round 7, 2005, at the MCG. Longest winning sequence: 11, round 2, 2014, to round 1, 2021. Most goals in a game: 10, Sel Murray, round 7, 1945, at Princes Park.

CARLTON

Match Preview u The first repeat match-up of the season and a big test, not just for both clubs, but for the AFL as it establishes whether there is an appetite for big Thursday night games at the MCG in the depths of winter. The Tigers ground out the four points last week against Port Adelaide, but not before again surrendering a lead of more than five goals. Good news for the Tigers is that spearhead Tom Lynch, the Coleman Medal leader before tweaking his hamstring, should be back, and their full-strength forward line will pose major challenges for the Blues. This is the first week that coach Michael Voss will keenly feel the absence of Jacob Weitering. Carlton

played the party pooper last week, comfortably handling Essendon amidst all the hype for its 150th birthday celebrations. But the Tigers are tough, disciplined and structurally sound all over the ground, which is everything the Bombers are not. The Tigers are likely to be just inside or outside the eight for the remainder of the season, so this is a really important game. For so long, they have had the better of the Blues, but Carlton did win the season-opener by 25 points. Another Blues win would be monumental and would mark a new direction for this long-standing rivalry, but a season split between them seems about right. Richmond will find something extra. ASHLEY BROWNE

Away record: 56-57 Home record: 70-39-2 Highest score: 28.16 (184), round 15, 2011, at the MCG. Lowest score: 3.10 (28), round 9, 1924, at Princes Park. Greatest winning margin: 115 points, round 14, 1984, at Princes Park. Longest winning sequence: 24, round 8, 1908, to round 15, 1917. Most goals in a game: 10, Jim Baird, round 1, 1943, at Princes Park; Robert Walls, round 7, 1976, at Princes Park.

Prediction: Richmond by seven points

ESSENDON

Match Preview

u The AFL is in the reality TV business, putting Essendon’s trials and tribulations in 2022 in prime-time for us all to see. Or perhaps not. This doesn’t shape as the most appealing or competitive Friday night game of the season, given Essendon’s struggles, but it is an important game for St Kilda, which gets just one free hit at the lowly Bombers. The four points and perhaps some percentage will be the key requirement as they seek to remain in touch with the top four. They’ll be making some changes at selection with Mitch Owens (concussion), Dan McKenzie (concussion) and Zak Jones (hamstring) set

to miss. It was the lack of rotations late in the Brisbane game last week that hurt the Saints. They were competitive for much of the evening, but ran out of legs at the end and lost by 21 points. Jack Billings and Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera shape as likely inclusions, as does Hunter Clark, who has yet to play this season but has recovered fully from a shoulder injury. Jake Stringer failed to fire last week and was singled out by Ben Rutten, who described his game as “poor”. If he plays well, the Bombers are always in with a chance, but there is too much at stake here for St Kilda to let this one slip. ASHLEY BROWNE

Away record: 69-43-2 Home record: 74-27-2 Highest score: 28.21 (189), round 17, 1944, at Windy Hill. Lowest score: 1.7 (13), round 4, 1906, at the Junction Oval. Greatest winning margin: 125 points, round 16, 1911, at the Junction Oval. Longest winning sequence: 23, round 17, 1944, to round 9, 1957. Most goals in a game: 10, Greg Stockdale, round 1, 1923, at Windy Hill; Vince Irwin, round 8, 1924, at Windy Hill; John Coleman, round 18, 1950, at the Junction Oval; round 3, 1953, at Windy Hill.

Prediction: St Kilda by 24 points

Callum Wilkie

The most tech savvy teammate: Probably me, most of the boys only know how to use their phones to watch TikTok Which teammate should run for political office in the future: Dougal Howard – very opinionated Rate your cooking skills from 1-5: A solid 3.5 Best dish: Thai Golf, tennis – or neither: Golf Your idea for a perfect day: 36 holes of golf Your biggest fear: Death roll by a crocodile

Have you ever used ‘Dr Google’ to diagnose an injury or illness: Probably, not a good idea Something you are proud of: Definitely not my golf swing – my determination to keep playing golf even though I suck The biggest compliment you have ever received: “You look like Chris Martin” If you could play an instrument, what would it be: Recorder What TV series are you binge-watching: Yellowstone

Best movie of all time: Se7en

* A like-for-like loan means the product name (eg. Owner P&I VAR) and LVR tier (eg. Liberate, Evaporate, Celebrate) advertised to new customers must be the same product name and the same LVR tier that you have as an existing customer. The way we construct and name products may include a combination of the loan’s purpose (eg. Owner Occupier, Investor), repayment type (eg. P&I, IO), loan type (eg. Variable, Fixed), borrower type, different features or specific qualification criteria. None of these criteria will be designed to favour new customers over existing customers. If we ever tempt new customers with a lower rate for our like-for-like loan, anyone who’s on it will get the automatic rate-match. Sweet. It’s an Aussie first!

SYDNEY SWANS

Match Preview

u Port’s 0-5 start to the season always meant an uphill battle to climb back into finals contention and it is proving to be the case. The Power fought back courageously from 33 points behind to lead Richmond in the final quarter, but had spent all their petrol tickets and went down by 12 points. Lose to Sydney here and they can kiss the 2022 finals goodbye. Karl Amon (29 disposals), Dan Houston (26) and Ollie Wines (26) helped get Port back in the game last week and Todd Marshall was lively with three goals. But the tardy start was ultimately their undoing. The Swans are off their bye and will enjoy the luxury of bringing Lance

BREAKFAST

KANE & HAYESY

Franklin back into a side that beat Melbourne by 12 points at the MCG last time around. The week before, he kicked five goals and was instrumental in the stirring comeback win over Richmond. The Swans will be brimming with confidence and, in addition to Franklin, will also have No. 1 ruckman Tom Hickey back from a toe injury. How the Swans structure up with two big men will be interesting; one of them is Peter Ladhams, who will be keen to impress against his former club. Depending on results, the Swans could be equal fourth come the end of the weekend. They have also lost their past five against Port, so they have plenty to play for. ASHLEY BROWNE

Away record: 9-7 Home record: 11-5 Highest score: 22.14 (146), round 2, 2008, at the SCG. Lowest score: 7.5 (47), round 14, 2020, at Adelaide Oval. Greatest winning margin: 68 points, round 2, 2008, at the SCG. Longest winning sequence: 8, round 17, 2006, to round 3, 2012. Most goals in a game: 12, Tony Lockett, round 16, 1998, at the SCG.

Prediction: Sydney by five points

Eagles v Cats

ROUND

HEAD to HEAD Played 55: West Coast Eagles 27, Geelong Cats 27, draws 1. Since 2017: West Coast Eagles 3, Geelong Cats 3. Most recent game: round 6, 2021, West Coast Eagles lost to Geelong Cats by 97 points at GMHBA Stadium. Highest attendance: 95,007, Grand Final, 1992, at the MCG.

WEST COAST EAGLES

BARING THEIR CLAWS: Defender Zach Tuohy fires out a handball in the Cats’ thumping win over the Eagles last season.

Match Preview u West Coast hosts Geelong at Optus Stadium on Saturday after both sides enjoyed a bye last weekend. Adam Simpson would have been somewhat buoyed by the fight his Eagles showed when they last stepped out against Adelaide in round 12, eventually going down by 31 points. In their last outing, Chris Scott’s Cats shook off the Western Bulldogs by 13 points which had them back in the top four, only to relinquish that position having not played in round 13. With spots in the four at a premium, percentage will be key and there’s no doubt Geelong will be eager to repeat what it did in a 97-point demolition job

68 AFL RECORD

GamePreview D.indd 68

of the Eagles at home in round six last year. The Cats have an average winning margin of 36.5 this season, saluting by 35 points or more in five of their eight wins, blowing away opposition in the bottom half of the ladder. West Coast, which has a 62.3-point average losing margin in 2022, has lost eight on the trot, while Geelong has won three in a row, with those streaks likely to extend to nine and four respectively. The team which has played at home has won the past nine of these encounters, but that trend looks set to be broken with the Cats heavily favoured to win, and to do so comfortably.

Home record: 15-9 Away record: 12-18-1 Highest score: 20.23 (143), Grand Final, 1994, at the MCG. Lowest score: 4.8 (32), round 4, 2014, at GMHBA Stadium. Greatest winning margin: 80 points, Grand Final, 1994, at the MCG. Longest winning sequence: 6, round 20, 1989, to preliminary final, 1991. Most goals in a game: 8, Peter Sumich, round 6, 1991, at Waverley Park; second semi-final, 1992, at the MCG.

GEELONG CATS

Away record: 9-15 Home record: 18-12-1 Highest score: 28.14 (182), round 13, 2008, at Subiaco Oval. Lowest score: 5.14 (44), round 9, 1998, at GMHBA Stadium. Greatest winning margin: 135 points, round 13, 2008, at Subiaco Oval. Longest winning sequence: 6, round 7, 2007, to round 22, 2010. Most goals in a game: 8, Gary Ablett snr, round 13, 1995, at GMHBA Stadium.

Giants v Bulldogs

ROUND

HEAD to HEAD Played 14: GWS Giants 6, Western Bulldogs 8. Since 2017: GWS Giants 4, Western Bulldogs 3. Most recent game: round 6, 2021, GWS Giants lost to Western Bulldogs by 39 points at Manuka Oval. Highest attendance: 30,672, round 21, 2017, at Marvel Stadium.

GWS GIANTS

Home record: 4-7 Away record: 2-1 Highest score: 20.13 (133), round 1, 2018, at UNSW Canberra Oval. Lowest score: 4.9 (33), round 3, 2020, at Marvel Stadium. Greatest winning margin: 82 points, round 1, 2018, at Manuka Oval. Longest winning sequence: 3, round 6, 2017, to round 1, 2018. Most goals in a game: 6, Jeremy Cameron, round 1, 2018, at Manuka Oval.

BULLDOG TERRIER: Lachlan McNeil shoots out a handball despite pressure from Connor Idun in the comfortable win over the Giants last season.

WESTERN BULLDOGS

Match Preview u The Western Bulldogs’ path to the finals has become muddied. Last year’s runners-up sit 10th on the ladder and four points plus percentage out of the eight. Their fixture is as difficult as it gets from here, playing Brisbane, Sydney, St Kilda, Melbourne, Geelong and Fremantle in the run home. Given that scenario, they simply cannot lose to GWS this weekend, but Bulldogs-Giants clashes are never so simple. One of the game’s most intense rivalries, the Giants will be doing everything they can to ruin the Dogs’ run to September – and they play each other twice. The rivalry stems back to the 2016 preliminary

final, where the Bulldogs held out the Giants by six points to set up their drought-breaking premiership. The Dogs have won the past two encounters, including by 39 points at Manuka Oval last season. GWS has some momentum coming off a big win over North Melbourne, it has the home ground advantage and the motivation to put a first nail in the coffin of the Western Bulldogs’ season. Toby Greene kicked four of the Giants’ nine goals last year and Jesse Hogan will provide a headache given the Dogs’ issues with key forwards. Still, expect the Bulldogs to rise to the occasion and get the job done. NIC NEGREPONTIS

Prediction: Western Bulldogs by 10 points

Away record: 7-4 Home record: 1-2 Highest score: 19.12 (126), round 22, 2019, at Giants Stadium. Lowest score: 7.9 (51), round 1, 2018, at UNSW Canberra Oval. Greatest winning margin: 61 points, round 22, 2019, at Giants Stadium. Longest winning sequence: 3, round 5, 2012, to round 4, 2014. Most goals in a game: 4, Stewart Crameri, round 4, 2014, at UNSW Canberra Oval; round 23, 2014, at Marvel Stadium; Jake Stringer, round 23, 2014, at Marvel Stadium; Tory Dickson, round 9, 2015, at Marvel Stadium; Clay Smith, first preliminary final, 2016, at Giants Stadium; Tory Dickson, first preliminary final, 2016, at Giants Stadium.

GOLD COAST SUNS

Home record: 1-7 Away record: 0-7 Highest score: 13.8 (86), round 5, 2017, at Metricon Stadium. Lowest score: 6.10 (46), round 5, 2019, at Adelaide Oval.

Match Preview

u Coming off byes last week, both Gold Coast and Adelaide have points to prove when they meet at Metricon Stadium in Sunday’s standalone game. The Suns are genuine finals contenders and have claimed several scalps that have them just a game outside the eight. However, Stuart Dew will know these are the games that his side has to win if it is to feature in its first September action. Of the 10 games left in their season, the Suns will need to win at least six to feature in the finals, and this should be one of them. They’re playing a swift brand of football based on a dominant, consistent midfield and high effort across all lines. From what

ADELAIDE CROWS we’ve seen, that’s more than can be said for the Crows, who have fluctuated with their effort levels at times this season. They snapped a five-game losing streak when beating West Coast in round 12, but Matthew Nicks will be disappointed by the drop-off in the second half when they kicked just four goals and gave the Eagles a sniff. Darcy Fogarty will have to continue his recent run of form to stretch an undersized Gold Coast backline and the Crows will have to match it with the Suns’ strong midfield to be any chance of causing an upset. SEB MOTTRAM

Away record: 7-1 Home record: 7-0 Highest score: 22.21 (153), round 23, 2012, at Football Park; 23.15 (153), round 5, 2017, at Metricon Stadium. Lowest score: 4.5 (29), round 3, 2020, at Metricon Stadium. Greatest winning margin: 95 points, round 17, 2019, at Metricon Stadium. Longest winning sequence: 13, round 8, 2011, to round 17, 2019. Most goals in a game: 6, Patrick Dangerfield, round 8, 2011, at Football Park; Eddie Betts, round 5, 2019, at Adelaide Oval; Eddie Betts, round 17, 2019, at Metricon Stadium.

Prediction: Gold Coast by 23 points

What I’m thinking with Ashley Browne

Lining up the next Legend There is no shortage of suitable candidates to become the next Legend in the Australian Football Hall of Fame.

he ink has barely dried on the 2022 Australian Football Hall of Fame certificates when talk turns to who should be inducted next year. The selectors have been playing a major catch-up exercise, which explains why the likes of Bill Dempsey, Terry Cashion, Nicky Winmar, Mike Fitzpatrick, Michael Taylor and Ted Tyson were inducted last Tuesday. There is no question that they belong; the bigger issue is why it took so long. For that reason, establishing who the next batch of inductees will be has become guesswork at best, although of the 2017 retirees who become eligible for the first time next year, Nick Riewoldt, Sam Mitchell and Bob Murphy would seem near certain immediate inductees. Much more fun is trying to establish who will be the next Legend. There are many worthy candidates and several impatient supporter bases across the country are expecting good news from the selection panel next year. There is no set criteria to become a Legend. It is almost a case of, ‘well, of course’ when they are announced. John Coleman played only 98 games for Essendon before a knee injury prematurely ended his career. But he averaged 5.48 goals a game and won the goalkicking in all but one season he played. He later coached Essendon to two flags, but his entire involvement in League football lasted a relatively brief 13 years. Coleman is a Legend, of course, but nobody would argue that he is less worthy of that status than

86 AFL RECORD

HIGHER HONOURS?: Hawthorn champion Jason Dunstall and Port Adelaide icon Fos Williams are among the many deserving of Legend status.

Jock McHale, despite the Collingwood identity enjoying a playing and coaching career that lasted nearly half a century and included eight premierships as coach and one as a player. Doing plenty of something counts when it comes to Legend status. Champion full-forwards Tony Lockett (1360) and Gordon Coventry (1299) lead the AFL in all-time goals kicked and are both Legends, but Jason Dunstall (1254) is not. At least, not yet. Ron Barassi won six flags as a player and another four as coach and was named a Legend in 1996, the year the Hall of Fame was inaugurated. Like Barassi, Norm Smith was involved in 10 premierships as a player and coach. Michael Tuck comes in at seven flags – all as a player – but four as captain. He also played 426 games over 20 seasons and for more than a quarter of a century was the AFL’s games record-holder. Is that Legend worthy? Many believe it is. Too often, it is forgotten that it is not the ‘AFL Hall of Fame’ but rather the Australian Football Hall of Fame. Equal weight is given to South Australian, West Australian and Tasmanian football, especially from the time before the VFL expanded and became the AFL. So if longevity and performing to an incredibly high standard are key determinants, then why not Craig Bradley, an eight-time All-Australian who played 98 games for Port Adelaide in the SANFL, before his 375 games for Carlton? He played 22 seasons of senior football. If Tuck gets in, should he? John Kennedy snr was elevated to Legend status in 2020. Through sheer force of personality, he dragged Hawthorn from the outhouse to the penthouse.

The selectors have been playing a major catch-up exercise

But he actually has just three premierships to his name. Plenty of others have more premierships and are not Legends. Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes coached one premiership at Richmond before winning four at Melbourne where he was a similarly transformative figure. Tom Hafey ended 24 years of mediocrity at Tigerland with the first of his four flags in eight seasons in 1967. David Parkin (one at Hawthorn, three at Carlton, all while revolutionising the art of coaching) and Allan Jeans (St Kilda’s only flag plus three at Hawthorn) are also coaching giants. John Todd landed six flags at three different WAFL clubs. And as South Australian students of the game argue, if Jack Oatey’s 10 flags with Norwood and Sturt were good enough for him to become a Legend last year, then Fos Williams, with nine at Port Adelaide, should also be a Legend. As it is, they believe the selectors have missed the boat by not yet elevating Ken Farmer, the North Adelaide goalkicking machine who kicked 1417 goals. Collingwood people argue fairly that 707 goals over 230 games between 1906 and 1922, when scoring was not as voluminous as it became, makes Dick Lee also Legend worthy. He was the game’s first truly great full-forward. And we could go on. Gary Ablett snr and Wayne Carey are clearly two of the best players of the modern era. Legend status surely beckons for both, but perhaps not for a while. There is a lengthy queue ahead of them.
