Re: A man and his Dogs

Great read was at the the pound cafe on wednesday night for meet the recruits dinner .Kevin hillier was the M.C and said look its and flash back there was Peter Foster Steve Wallis Super the PIE MAN Jose Ramero and Hunter all there for a meeting with the coach and Dalrymple about how the future father sons would be treated going forward and that there was no certainty that they would be picked just informing and keeping them up to date that they are strongly considering there sons . Found it interesting that Beasley son is still on the radar i thought he had chosen rowing at yale. Is he still playing football with hunters boy at school. Also does Super and Foster have any sons if so how old are they.

Re: A man and his Dogs

Libba played his guts out every week for the club. A man with limited natural talent and skills played on pure determination and a very hard work ethic. Sometimes I hear people say he never deserved the Brownlow in 1990, but I say to them, did you go to every game in 1990?, I did and he well and truly deserved it. In 1997 when he had to reinvent himself, he scared the pants off players twice as big as him. He was scared of nothing, and went in even harder than previously and again gave his all.

Some modern day players can learn a lot from the way Libba approached the game.

Yes.

Well thats one draft pick taken then, I hear he is a pretty good player.

Classic duel, 1997

“When coaches say someone's untaggable, I find that a bit hard to believe.”

Well, I guess now they are so soft on holding the jumper, hands in the back or behind the play, maybe certain players are untaggable??


A classic bit of vision

I doubt it will be an early draft pick.

This piece articulates why I rate Libba the second greatest Bulldog ever - only behind EJ.

Bornadog, you said exactly what I was thinking - that man played his heart out every week. We used to say that eventually they will find he has a heart as big as Pharlaps. Gave his all to the club week in and week out. Great read and made my heart swell with pride!

There's a can of worms to open right there.

I loved Libba, but at a guess, he would barely scrape into my top ten.

I agree, mind you if we had to select a side on heart and determination Libba would be right up there.

Agree totally, all heart and determination but not the most skillful playing going around.
Got the most out of his limited ability through his magnificent attitude.
I should add he was inspirational, who could ever forget the tackle on Scott Lucas, probably won us the game in the end.
Thats one of many tackles, averaged about 100 a year!
