He would be at a Shane Loveless level of amazing at local level. Pinhead kicked thousands of goals as a hired gun to various country teams in the '80s and '90s after his time with Footscray. As an aside Shane Loveless wasted more natural football ability than any other player I can recall.

It would be a pretty simple coaching directive in local footy, long bombs to Redder!

Are there any videos of Shane Loveless playing? I remember one season at Whitten Oval where he took more one-handed marks at full forward than I’ve seen before or since.

Try YouTube I reckon. His whole career can be condensed down to the second half of 1980. In rounds 12 and 13 he kicks 8 and 7 and a few weeks later kicked 8 against Hawthorn.

Yes, they are the weeks I remember. KT was slaying it at centre half forward and Loveless was incredible closer to goal. I’ve tried on YouTube but no luck. And to think we nearly won the spoon that year as well! In the last round, St Kilda drew with North and Fitzroy kicked 142 as a losing score by 4 points against 2nd places Carlton.

Thanks for your contribution Big Red, and sadly the body didn’t allow a longer career

Well done mate legend effort to play as much as you did. Loved the way you went about it. Can you please stay around and teach some goal kicking. Beautiful set shot when going. Best of luck for the future.
