Performance of Murphy and Gibbs taking 30 between them is rather sobering.

No surprise we didn't get many votes with just 5.5 wins. We finished 15th on the ladder and in Brownlow votes.


Congrats to GA  :clapping. Well deserved and no argument this time around that the Brownlow went to the best player in the AFL.

And watching old Kevin Murray on stage made me think that if Richo's body holds up and the boys get back on track then anything is possible.  I remember him winning it against all odds in '69 - playing unfashionable football (he was the original back pocket plumber even if that wasn't his trade) in an unfashionable team (Fitzroy finished about 10th/11th out of 12 that year) at a very unfashionable age (well in to his 30's).
