Agreed i must say ive never been a wrap for that crap either.
Capuano was a premiership player too wasnt he???
Every Flag winning side has the odd passenger or c grader that pinches a medal and earns emselves a spot in history.
Doesnt automatically make em better players.
Tony Lockett, Gary Ablett Snr, Paul Kelly, Gary Wilson, Bernie Quinlan, Robert Flower, Dougie Hawkins, Robert Harvey, Jimmy Stynes, Peter Moore, Chris Grant, Matty Knights, Ross Glendinning, Trevor Barker, Maurice Rioli, none of those champs won premierships and the Mortons, Capuanos, Freames and the like wouldnt tie their boot laces.

The "Dominator" was a gun especially in the big games, as a tiger youngster i hated the Blues soooo much i hated Johnston!!
In fact i hated Kenny Hunter and Mike Fitzpatrick and Rod Ashman and Phil Maylin, Wow Jones, Meldrum, Glascott, McConville, Marcou and Buckley, and the "flying Doormat" Doull, Maclure, and of course "the Buzz" Bosustow.
Then came Kernahan, Bradley, Naley, Silvagni, Mackay, Diesel Williams, Ian Aitken, Kouta, and Ange, Fraser Brown and Fraser Murphy and Dorotich, that sniper Steve DaRui and Ronnie Delulio....faaaark i hate Carlton.
And then i hated them even more after they traded us Fletcher .....ffs

I always liked Fraser Murphy. No idea why.
Just watching the Hall of Fame on Fox Footy tonight. Disappointed in having Francis Bourke introduce Mick Malthouse as an inductee only to hear Nick Maxwell and John Worsfold summarise his coaching career, and the questions from Kermit only about his coaching career. What about playing with us......we won a flag in 1980??
The Trevor Barker part was a bit sad.

Has Wow got a nod yet from the AFL ?.
Some pretty borderline additions this evening.
Brad Hardie had an eye-catching debut season which won him a Brownlow (but not the Footscray b&f); he was pretty good the following year but his Brisbane and Collingwood sojourns were not too memorable. If Hardie gets a gig then a player like Woewodin is entitled to put his hand up.
Trevor Barker... spectacular mark who was capable at ground level and in various positions, but more of a club great than an out-and-out champion. I always feared club stalwarts Cunningham and Burns more when we played the Saints. I dunno... Michael Roach would be a somewhat contentious selection - he flew just as high and kicked 600 goals, but he's not in. Would anyone admit Jeremy Howe in 30 years after a viewing of his highlight reel? Don't reckon he's even close, but I'm not going to say it won't happen.
Ron Evans... two big seasons at 20-21 for two Colemans, then faded and went to play in the WAFL. Is he in as a player or an administrator? Michael Roach has two Colemans...
Deane - don't know enough
Malthouse - no-brainer on his coaching record over a long period
Hunter - that rarest of birds, an admirable Carlton player

Good speech from Hardie.
Barker was also a successful coach with Sandringham.....and Howe is a universe away from this bloke.
Never knew who Jimmy Deane was from SA, but they said he played with us for 2 seasons.
As for Mick, how about telling everyone who you started with (after Saints)
Really good summary from LTRTR!
Malthouse’s Segment focussed on coaching and missing the playing days.
Hardie speech terrific.
Again the great Geoff Raines not inducted. One of the best ever RFC players. TOC.

Ah, didn't realise it was the same bloke. He finished 5th and 8th in our best & fairest at 26-27yo in the mid-1950's, not exactly a glorious era for us. Despite playing every game in his second year he finished behind Tom Hafey, who by all accounts was an unremarkable player. Won two Magareys (one before Richmond, one after) which probably highlights the gulf in class between the VFL and the rest at the time, which was usually borne out in State football.
Who was the person at RFC that Malthouse refers to that “he wouldn’t join Richmond while that person was at the club”??
Hungry1962 said:
Yeah would be interesting to find out.
I also didn't know he had been offered the Richmond job at the end of 1983 before for some reason it was withdrawn.
Given the way we treated coaches back then, and given few Richmond coaches went on to coach other clubs, it was probably the best thing that could have happened to him.
Hungry1962 said:
Depending on when he said this, I’d suggest that Francis Bourke would be #1 suspect, given the 1982 GF ‘injury test’...
