Alby also played that famous day Templeton kicked 15.9 and we broke the record against the saints .
Had the 70s porn moustache, if you can find the team photo of that day I think he was second from right standing at the back .

Remember this one well, we had seats in the stand up the other end so got a great view of him coming up over the top. The foot fight up there in the back. Dominant.

Thanks for that GG. This footage should be on a loop above the entrance at the kennel. I think some supporters forget just how elite he was as our key forward through the 90's. So clean, so determined, so good.

Yep, the when he played defence he would back back into the traffic every week and cop it.
So many times he came off with a "stinger" and we thought he was goneski which was the end of the world.
Should have two brownlows.
I'm not Grantysghost for nothing!

Astro for mine.
Granty (thanks to gg's reminder)
Monty was phenomenal for his size.
The high mark in aussie rules is for me, the most stunning aspect of any sport. It's just insane how high players get with seemingly no regard for their safety. Long may it continue.

I always thought your alias was in honour of his brother Jamie.
I remember his first goal round 1 1990 against St Kilda. He marked the ball on the outer flank Geelong road end. Went back and slotted it. I hadn't read or seen anything of him preseason. I think the following week he kicked 6 against Sydney. A star was born.

Re: Hitting the HEIGHTS! Who is the Dogs speccy king?
I don't think I've seen a higher one off mark by a Bulldogs player than Weightman's over Gawn but for consistent Carey like pack marks it's really hard to go past Kelvin Templeton who was an exceptionally strong and athletic mark especially in his early days.
This nomination might test a lot of the forum members but Stuart Wigney was a very good big mark especially under the encouragement of Terry Wheeler who backed the player to go for his marks.

I agree and would add:
Peter Foster
Zephaniah Skinner (for his leap if not is marking)
