I read that post before the edit.  The edit doesn't do it justice.   ;D

The late Jim Stynes got the nod ahead of KB.

Stynes joins bronze heroes at MCG's Avenue of Legends

MELBOURNE great Jim Stynes will take his place in Australian sport's pantheon of champions, becoming the latest addition to the Avenue of Legends outside the MCG to stand alongside 14 other Australian greats.

The decision to nominate Stynes came after Richmond backed a campaign to have Kevin Bartlett selected as the next bronzed hero.

However, statues selector chairman David Crow said it was impossible to look past Stynes' candidacy.

"He was an exceptional character ... just magnetic," Crow said.

"(Kevin) is one of the candidates we're looking at but Jim was too hard to look past."

Did the selection committee ask its members to tank?

I will say it, if Jim were alive there is no way he gets the gig ahead of the bald headed geezer.

Where are the Chaser boys when we need them?  :police:

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

Yep. No disrespect to the late Jim Stynes but KB accomplished far more at the MCG than Stynes ever did and IMO far more deserving of a statue. 403 games for the one club, 773 goals, multiple premiership successes. How can anyone argue this???

His statue will be delivered along with his brownlow.  We know he was and remains a legend, they can all get stuffed.
