didnt have any time for any opp players, hated every single one in blue and white.

only bloke I liked was Peter Mengalio at WP - generally out of sympathy as he seemed to carry the burden for years at WP.

Kevin Taylor when playing at EF!.

Spending hours in my backyard as a kid jumping on whatever I could find (mums washing trolley, backyard chairs and even the family car) yelling out TAYLOR!!! while taking a mark.

Did some damage to things around the house those days......

should of asked Joe McKay to pop round mate so you could use him as a step ladder, I remember that mark of Squizzeys as well......he just seemed to go up and up.....have a flick onto EF facebook page, see some great pics from the reunion night.....Melrose, Budgie, Thomson, Taylor, Le Cras, Carrott etc

yeah BH, Snuffy was certainly fashioned for the 70's and 80's mate.....pity he missed out on one of those Hawks GF wins.....played in that losing one to Essendon, where Leon Baker kick started the Bombers win.....missed out on the one before that and then went off to Brisbane for the others.

some great names there Joan......Glen Hoult and Robbie Solin were also two favourites of mine during the mid eighties......both hard as nails defenders....both would be forever suspended in todays footy with all the viewing devices available these days!!

I am an 80s born West Perth man and loved Craig Nelson as a kid. After that it was Paul Mifka and then Ronnie Burns and Derek Hall.
