Re: Our greatest South Aussie?
A receiver is what I and many others used to call them, Craig Bradley was often described in this way especially early in his career. The term "receiver" was an insult in those days in the early 80s. He just played to his strengths, by the end of his career, he was one of the best receivers going around. (I mean that in a complimentary way)
Furthermore, if you are not getting alot of kicks and hurting the opposition with your disposals, supporters tend to dwell on the negatives and label these type of players "soft"
Allan "shorty" Daniels was another player in this category. I can recall in his 1st year he hardly ever had an opponent and would often get kicks out on his own. This may explain why I hardly ever saw him lay a tackle.
He was soon found out and from then on struggled only to see him go back to WA as quickly as he had arrived.
