    Skinner Reserve Article

    Did anyone see the article in the Age on Saturday by Paul Daffey about Skinner Reserve.

    I've searched the Age website, but can't find it anywhere.

    Anyhow, there was a photo with a couple of blurry bulldog players. The caption said that it was from 1993 and the players were Chris Grant & Steve Macpherson.

    I don't think it was Chris Grant. I think it was Nigel Kellett.


    Can anyone shed any light?
    For those who were always the underdogs and wore it as a badge of honour.

    I will keep an eye out for this. I'm sure someone here will have a copy.

    Welcome Griffenator, I have been wanting to do a short blog about that time and that ground. That article inspired me. Have just put mine up.

    So after looking at that photo, do people agree with me that it is Nigel Kellett.

    Yes this has to be NK from what I can tell. Slightly hunched stance is a dead giveaway.
