Very similar to Cripps
Cripps is the Temu version of the Bont.

Both great players
Only one has a Brownlow from memory
Priddis, Woewodin and Hardie have Brownlows, too. Kinda takes the gloss of it a bit, I reckon.

Ha! The OG BBM (big bodied mid) was Tim Watson. 6'1 and 96kgs, he was full forward sized in an era of greyhounds

Loved watching him play.
But big mids means over 6"3".

Aaron Keating and Billy Frampton have premierships!

The Jesse Hogan story is one that's been a bit over looked. Maligned at Melbourne so left for Fremantle, has had his issues to deal with away from football and at his third club wins the Coleman and the club Best and Fairest. A story of perseverance and one that should be acknowledged.

Agreed he's had a great year.
His pack marking up on the wing is what impressed me.
One grabbed everything. And kicked straight.

Absolute freak player. Playing VFL at what, 15? Must have been a big lad they didn't play tiddleywinks back in those days.
