Phillis moved to full back in 1977.......

G Cornes was our leading goal scorer in 1977 with 80 odd

Cheers, I wasn't aware of that. So he did the opposite to Seebohm then.

Freddie king-hit Timmy in the goal-square after he kicked a goal...

Played the rest of the game dazed.

But still kicked seven.

Pity Craig Balme didn't belt him in '84...

did Twiggy Caldwell ever recover from being king hit by DG? I recall him being in a dark room sufferring from headaches for a while afterwards. Not sure if he played again.

Roger Delaney also did a similar thing - that is gun full forward to gun full back.

So what injury did Barrett sustain? Broken Femur or temur or whatever the shinbone is called?

Great full-back but hardly a "gun" full forward ....

But while we are at it Des O'Dwyer and Paul Arnold are two other players who started off in the forward line and ended up at full-back. Not sure I'd use "gun" to describe either but they did the job.

John Seebohm did the opposite quite well too.

And IIRC James West went the other way - full-back to full-forward

Anyone notice that a David Granger thread ends up discussing players who swapped positions :lol:

Tim Evans spent 1976 at centre-half back after leading the goalkicking the year before.

Randall Gerlach did okay with 96 goals at full-forward...

IIRC Nicholls finally moved Phillis back to Full Forward in the last quarter and he kicked three. Some may say it was a little bit late.

Especially since the bays came home with a rush.

Two late goals to bring it back to eight points.

Then things got really desperate...

Will you two shut up!!! I have enough disturbed memories of GF with port without you bringing this (what could have been) up....

Mind you IIRC Port were clearly the best team all year and were rightfully the deserved premiers.....1990 however.... :cry:
