6ft and built like Chris Prime however has the biggest belly I've seen on a man but turns on 20cent piece with dead eye left foot.
He won the goal kicking so many times in his league they changed history by re-naming the medal after him - all while he was still playing mind you.
Being the gentle giant that he is he spent much of the second half of one of his most recent seasons dishing off handballs in the goal square to avoid winning his own medal AGAIN![]()
Others might be anthony modra in his later years after packing some on?
Who's the guy that played up forward for centrals and wests before disappearing?? he was hard to move along with a unit by the name of brooks who also played at centrals.

Kicks an abolsute ton of goals, very hard to move off the ball, gets double and triple teamed a lot of the time and still manages to mark it because of his sheer size and strength and if he doesn't he is surprisingly good at crumbing his own ball too. Absolute man monster. Glad I played with him not against him.
And you were too young to stand Troy Olsen![]()
Or the Central Eyre team of the late 90's with about 8 home-grown blokes all 6'3 or more.

By the look of Bugsy last season it was more like 86 pies and 4 pints
