He said none, but the closest would be the verstaility of an Archer to play both ends, the flamboyance of a Hird through the midfield and Kouta to turn the game on its head, he said off the field he would put Sammy Newman to shame :lol:


1. Just cos someone saw his career start doesn't make them an old timer. :mad: :mad:

2. Much more versatile than Archer because he could play in the midfield too.

3. Much more flambyant than Hird (just maybe not as brave... :wink: )

4. Yes, did turn games like Kouta.

5. Anyone would put Sam Newman to shame.

Thanks Moshe, fantastic memories!

Was at that 1971 colingwood game. It was the 70GF repeat!! From memory pies were 6 goals up at half time. Again from memory Tiger, who was playing his first game after a long layoff through illness, was moved to FF at half time and Jezza to CHF. We over-ran pies in 2nd half with Tiger especially starring.

Pity we lost the following week at the Junction Oval in the fog thereby missing the finals.

Was heartbroken when Tiger moved to Norf, especially as it meant he was left stranded on 98 games thereby not qualifying for team of the century selection.

What a star, what an era!!!

Sorry Moshe, didnt realise i hurt your ego, but the bloke I spoke to would be about in his mid 70's now

The Sammy Newman was more with the lady folk rather than being a tool, but I think you knwo what I meant with that anyway

My favourite as well. Remember seeing him go for runs along Park St Nth Fitzroy in the early to mid 80's - even then an adonis!

I've retrieved this precious post from Warby's Scrapbook in PreSeason 2008; featuring Tiger kicking THAT goal that put us in front of C/wood for the first time in the 1970 Grand Final....we were there.....and when he kicked this goal.....the MCG went beserk.

That's our Neil Chandler and their Barry Bubba Price looking on; while Teddy Potter tries to mozz Tiger by doing up his boots.

Maxy, we lost the previous week at the Junction Oval, The Collingwood game was a ''dead rubber''.

A mate of mine played footy with Crosswell at school. He told me Crosswell was a lazy footballer and they used to take it in turns to belt him behind the ear from behind in a pack to get him fired up for a game.
Not very brave of them but according to him, it used to work. After that he'd turn it on.

I was devastated when he went to NM but apparently he and Barass had a good relationship. I am hoping Blue Beatle might comment on this thread as he knows Brent pretty well.

Always a great fan, wrote an angry (and rather juvenile) letter to the club when he left. Had the explosive pace of Judd, enormous agility and was a terrific mark. If they ever hand out retrospective Norm Smith medals he should line up for a couple - 1970 and 1975. Of the current players I think Goodes and Pav most resemble him, without his flamboyance. Hard to believe he didn't get a 100 games with the Blues. My memories are similar to Moshe's. I loved that last game of 1971 against the Pies - another huge comeback by the Blues. It was the classic case of 'coach says go to full forward and win us the game'. Also Barrassi's last game as coach. The loss the previous week in the fog ag the Lions had cost us finals but it was a sweet end to the season. Pretty handy writer too.

Maybe that's how he contracted Meniere's disease....it's an inner ear imbalance
