He's truly worthy of one.
As a glenelg supporter his battles with Marker are a clear memory for me.
Fairest and best summed him up perfectly.
Condolences to all you Port people.

He'd break free from tackles into space and deliver the ball with precision and in the unlikely event he was tackled it would only be around the hips as he would invariably get his arms free to dispose of the ball.

The first paragraph refers to Russell.
The middle paragraph is written about Brian Faehse of West Adelaide....
The last paragraph refers to Russell and his family.
Someone has made an horrific copy and paste mistake.

The two things that I thought was impressive and enjoyed watching this AFL season was the burst speed away from a contest and then the lateral movement at speed to evade opponents from star Melbourne premiership pair Clayton Oliver and Christian Petracca.
Those two attributes were on show and the main thing I noticed in the footage I've watched of Ebert, his burst speed away from a contest and then his lateral movement at speed was incredible. He obviously had incredible speed, power and agility.
