February 21, 2014 2:32 PMMELBOURNE 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."
