Didn't find it particularly interesting at all TBH.
You appear hard to please.
Let's see.....
Digging for gold & has a gun battle with guys in trucks
Rejected by Collingwood & spends 2 years out of the game to play with Essendon
As an 18yo moves from Kalgoorlie, in the 1950's
Plays under a false name in the notorious violent Sunday comp that attracted gambling
Wayne Harmes old man tells him to stand behind him & be ready to belt anyone who gets by
Has a blew with John Coleman that ends up with the Doc getting a broken jaw
Gets a dummy from the Collingwood cheer squad
Gives Tuddy the dummy
In best three @ age 31 in his last game in a losing GF
Walks into the secretary's office to retire & gets told he was already 'retired'
On the Essendon board & tries to have Sheedy sacked
Helps players like Manton & Lloyd despite not bring an assistant coach
Told an opponent he (Epis) was on fire & the opponent should change flanks to avoid a hiding
The said rival kicked 4 in the first quarter
Never married & lets Sheehan know that doesn't mean anything
Now a very successful wine maker
Plus quite a big more....
Seriously if one did not appreciate what Epis brought to the Open Mike table, then you are a very shallow follower of the game.
They touched on it. Out of a 30 minute interview (could easily gone an hour I think) they probably spent about 5 minutes on it I reckon.Good to hear the positive reviews. Will watch when I get a chance, did it talk much about his relationship with Sheedy? Sheedy had a real go at him in his book that came out a few years back.
Probably. Do you only want interviews of those you have seen play, live or on TV?Them I'm a very shallow follower of the game .

Do you even BF bro?No. The episodes with recently retired players have always been the worst ones.
I just didn't find this one especially interesting. No big overarching judgement required.

But it does get one wondering about others from that who would be a fascinating subject. One I can think of is John Dugdale who finished up at North in 1970, after 248 games, unfortunately 3 years prior to Barassi coming over. Dugdale became an asssistant to Barassi through the golden years of the 1970's. Both of his lads Glen & Dean played for North. John won the club goal kicking 7 times and was captain for 3 years. He coached North for one game in 1977 when Barassi was unavailable.
