        I thought he was a reasonable player too, for the record.

            Correct, seemed to have an issue going to ground.

                    Greg Eppelston was no dud. He played SOO for Victoria.
                    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                        He did fall over a lot though.

                            Don't recall Axe being a scapegoat - maybe in 1993 when he really struggled with the extra attention from opposition taggers.
                            In his last year with us he copped it viciously. I loved the Axe, but his undeveloped defensive game, laconic nature and waddling running style used to infuriate a section of the crowd who just thought he didn't work hard enough when we didn't have the ball. When things went south in 93, he was definitely the main scapegoat.

                                Martin Flanagan goes into great detail of the effect that the scapegoating had on Atkins in that book that Twodogs loves.

                                    FWIW rumours that Swans are interested in Talia are well founded.

                                                    Could we somehow engineer a Hrovat, Talia, pick swaps etc > Bennell?
