Bomber Ryan was a brilliant forward always seemed to have time and grace for a big bloke read the ball a fraction better than Scott Pollard, not much between them.
Just when you thought Bomber was gone he would appear and take the grab (and give off)
If I remember correctly Pollard kicked six in a losing grand final pretty fair effort in a game where nothing went right for his team. (memory might be a little blurred due to a tooheys or two on the day) Bomber a gentleman, great footy brain and the best kick of a footy I have seen at this level of footy.
Must not forget the bloke who I think is the toughest FF I have seen at this level Clint (White Line) Godwin, kicked goals in the SFL and GSFL. Not far behind Bomber and Pollard for mind.
Where Bomber was nice Godwin was a nasty tough unit on the ground but a gentleman off.
Godwin for me! I'd rather him be on my side than the opposition!! To the great mans defence, he would get sgragged etc and he would then give the full back plenty of warnings (or three) about not roughing him up! the full back would try it one more time ... only to find themselves laying on the ground wondering what had just happened! so yes he did hav white line fever but he warned his opponeent before he smacked them! I think that is fair, don't you ?? all he wanted to do was play fair one on one footy !!
Must be a different bloke to the one i saw on sunday playing c grade at reynella. Ball was a hundred metres away and he decided he needed to start punching a 19 yr old that was minding his own business. Perhaps he's just got old and cranky but to punch a kid that far off the play in c grade footy is pretty weak.
