Very interesting write up Bomber Sheldon. I've read and heard a fair bit about Bob Chitty. I think he played Ned kelly in a movie at some stage. He was one tough bastard. The two most courageous Blue's players for their size I've seen would be Crane and Hunter.
Agree, great writeing. In the South Melbourne team were fellas like "Basher" Williams a boxer. There was a fair bit of money on the game.
Thankfully we flogged them both on the scoreboard and with the fisticuffs - also coming to the climax of WWII and a lot of returned soldiers in the crowd according to past write-ups who were baying for blood it just fuelled the tension and encouraged the fights when they occurred
It is written that the Prelim the week before against Collingwood was even more brutal.........
Could do we a few of those hard-a$%es in our side these days, not to snipe but to protect and send out the message dont target our smalls
