Thats what I thought also. Did he give the prizemoney to charity? Seems strange to send your gun footballer too the GF sprint.

They won 1 final for the whole 1970's. And a total of 2 finals in that 19 year period.
Their average finishing position in those years was 7th in a time when for the most part there was only 12 teams.

Between 67 and 89, 5 teams won premierships. If you take out North and Essendon 3 clubs shared 18 flags. Makes you wonder what made Carlton, Hawthorn and Richmond just so much better?
Premierships:
Carlton in 68,70,72,79,81-82 and 87
Hawthorn 71,76,78,83,86,88-89
Richmond 67,69,73-74,80
North Melbourne 75,77
Essendon 84-85
Also considering during that period, only St. Kilda in 71 and Collingwood in 70,77,79-81 competed in grand finals aside from those 5. For 7 teams to compete for 23 years worth of grand finals is pretty lopsided if you ask me.
Consider 90-13 where 11 sides have won flags and only 4 sides failed to compete in a GF (including 2 expansion sides)- id say the comp is a hell of a lot more even than what it was in the aforementioned period.

St Kilda were shit in that time, mate.
Don't lower Geelong to their status.
