        Always liked big Red. Thought that we always had a better forward structure with him on the park.
        Appears to have been one of the most popular players to have come through the club in recent times, and in our premiership year when he did his knee, didn’t make it about himself and put the team first.
        Best of luck to him.

          Re: Jack Redpath

          My most vivid memory of Jack was the 2014 VFL Grand Final. I was sitting about two rows back between the wing and our half forward when Jack fixed his eyes on a Hawks player gathering the ball. The intent in his eyes was obvious, and I think I involuntarily moved back in the seat anticipating the upcoming contact. Jack tackled to hurt, that's for sure.

          Also his tackle on Schoenmakers to earn a shot at goal was another memorable highlight.

          Thanks Jack, a true bulldog when it came to effort, and also dedication to rehab.

            Love ya Big Red. The team walked a little taller when you were on the park. And the fans loved your bulldog spirit - especially those bone crunching tackles. One of my fave bulldog memories is you in the ruck shoving it down Stringer’s throat for a stunning passage of play culminating in a goal. All the best and glad to hear in your farewell speech to the fans you will be a bulldog for life.

            And we'll have everything.
            We'll share the joy
            Just like '54 again.

                  Gave his all for the club and genuinely cared for his teammates. Finished his career part of the leadership group and certainly showed he could play the game. Go well Big Red!

                      All I can say is "I hate the injury God with a passion." Good luck Jack. And thanks We were a better team with you in it.

                        A player who earned the respect of the fans through hard work and effort, a very good kick for goal too, which is somewhat of a niche skill at the Whitten Oval. Teams need blokes like Redpath, we were fortunate he kept at it and worked his way into the leadership group. Something to be proud of.

                          Good luck to Jack, he did well to overcome a lot of obstacles.

                          Certainly proved he was capable at the level.

                          Had it not been for injury, he had the ability to be one of the better KPFs given his aggression and goal kicking skills.

                            As much as some people say they hate the players with mongrel from other teams. Everyone loves it if they play for their team. Big red had it. He had it at a level where is was noticed by us and wasn't over exaggerated by opponent fans.... Gutted to see him leave. One guy i really hope is successful after footy.

                              Sacrificed himself for the team. His knees were clearly shot at the start of the year, he could barely change direction, but stumped up and played a couple of games before succumbing to the injury. Says a lot about his dedication to the team and his team mates.

                              Well done, Jack.

                                Yet some brainiac rewarded him with a 2yr contract prior to the season beginning.

                                Nothing against Red who I hope enjoys the next phase of his life, but some of the list mgt. made under the previous regime were an unmitigated *!*!*!*!-up!
