It's that simple Spud
"I discussed (it) with my three daughters, my wife and my 82-year-old mum, because it has really affected me … If those comments … were made about one of my daughters, it would make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I would not have liked it at all.”

Geee, most of those guys were quick.  Graeme Bond was nicknamed "the racehorse" and was very quick. KB was very fast especially in the first 20m. Michael Mitchell was breathtaking and Lids before his achilles problems was extremely quick.
Their was a guy called Daryl Cumming who was a sprinter (I think from memory) who was also very quick.  Can remember him destroying Hawthorn down at Glenferrie oval late in 1972. He kicked 5 goals from just 8 or so kicks to sink them on their home turf by just under a couple of goals. :thumbsup :thumbsup
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

Didn't see clay or bond play and perhaps saw Bartlett after he lost a yard but Michael Mitchell was something out of this world with his pace and agility.

KB on a 20mtr burst anywhere near goal.  Then Lids ... then Michael Mitchell ... Woosha ... Scrimma ... Ian Satori ... Geoff Ablett ... Kevin Ablett ... Butch Gale ...     The Whale at a free drink?      :cheers  ;D

KB had amazing agility and a great burst of speed used to run rings around blokes, with todays training and sports science he would of been even more of a stuff
