« on: January 29, 2025, 12:46:06 AM »
What has been the bravest on-field act of the last 25 years?

-------------

The below responses came through most frequently from SEN listeners.

Richmond: Jack Graham playing on in the 2019 preliminary final with a dislocated shoulder knowing he would miss the GF.

What about when Brandon Ellis inexplicably found himself head on with Paddy Dsngerfield in the 2017 h&a game. That act set up the flag. “If he can do it,anyone can” became our mantra
Inexplicably courageous.

Brave acts = Francis Bourke , Michael Gale, and David Bourke was just crazy career ending brave.
All AFL players have different degrees / forms of courage  imho , you just wouldn’t get a senior game without showing something.

Brando Bellis (Brave Brando). All those times he went back with the flight. Oddly courageous in marking contests at times when you're most likely to be paralysed but battled in other aspects that required courage.

Which is why I used the word “inexplicably”

Push-up King taking on Collingwood in 2009 was pretty cool.
