I fear the day he hangs up the boots, the Bulldogs just aren't the same without a Liberatore in the team, hopefully his young son' comes on sooner than later.
Congrats on 200 games mate.
What happened to his younger brother? Did he quit footy?

Believe so, Oliver sadly didn't follow in dad/brothers footsteps, pretty sure he played up until U16 and then stopped.

This is pretty cool too. I note with interest Baz's words.

Ha no. Just that Libba seems the type that would be there for you when you're down.
The Cordy ket photos are evidence of this.

Re: Congratulations to Tom Liberatore - 200 Games
Much like Simon Atkins back in the day, Libba only requires a split second with the ball as he seems to read the play far better and earlier than most of his opponents. Elite decision maker with the ability to kick off one step with either foot and outrageously good by hand who seems to know where his teammates are and is able to put them into clear space. All Dogs supporters know how good this bloke is, not sure about the rest of the football world. Go well tonight Tommy you weird and wonderful icon of our club.

Atkins had/has an identical twin brother who played VFA footy. There was a rumour that in one game, the twin played in Simon's jumper. I'd like to think it happened, love the mischief of it. Anything in it do you think ?

His brother actually played for Sydney.
More of an In Bruges guy?

I can recall that Simon's twin did an interview with one of the radio stations in their booth and about half way through Simon came in and took over.
