1986 saw Greg Epplestun debut wearing #46. He switched next season to #12 and wore it for the rest of his 7 year career with us which yielded 102 games and one goal.. A tough, dour defender he took some big scalps down back. Went to North for one year but injured his groin in the first round and the injury got the better of him and forced retirement.
I remember Greg fixing up Ablett a few times and frustrating him. One game, Ablett gave him a big whack in the stomach, but to Greg's credit (after the pain went away), continued to beat him.
