Stephen “Stan” Carey. Brutal. Premiership player. Sent the footballer of the century into retirement with a broken cheekbone. Chased dipierdomenico all day, one day at Windyhill, but Cameron Clayton was the one that caught up with him in retaliation to the Stoneham incident.
Stan The Man gave Leigh matthews the send off he deserved on behalf of many.
The Dipper hit on Stoneham was truly despicable. But I love how Merv comes in for retaliation within 3.5 seconds of impact.
He had a screw loose. Genuine nutter.
Filandia bit the guys nut. Brad "squirra" Wira did the squirrel gripPeter Filandia
Roger. He got games early in his career he didn’t deserve. Absolutely a sheedy project (think Kevin Walsh) He was sent out to inflict pain, does anyone remember The Hitman furore ?! That was Don Scott, who had retired, using his Sun column, to try and destabilise Essendon in the lead up to the ‘83 final series. Typical ******* hawfforn using their ex-captain to try and throw our club.Merrett was actually filthy...t
I actually didn't like him much. It was all raised elbows and sliding knees. Not much real toughness IMO.
Started to dislike him more when I heard him interviewed (after leaving Essendon) and he was asked if he had ever felt fear on the football field. He said no and I call bullshit on anyone who says that.....especially someone whose specialty was meeting front on contact with raised elbows!
He was part of an era that I loved but I just don't the affection for this guy that I have for pretty much everyone else who played back then.
Anthony Antrobus.
Little man syndrome mixed with white line fever and a sprinkle of crazy.
Did some dirty, dirty knee drops back in the day.
Yeah everyone loves Dippa but he was a real dog onfield.
Yet won a Brownlow for best and fairest.
After today's praccy match, I'm nominating Tommy Cutler. Absolute animal.
Kicked 8 in round 20 and a purple patch in month up to that. Had quiet finals seriesbut had played every game up to GF. Remember footage at 3/4 time huddle in one of the finals, may have been the Prelim where he seemed pissed off and pulled away from Harvs who was trying to calm him down

Does head butting an umpire count as dirty? Was convinced Fabulous would bring us a flag, broke my 10 year old heart that day.
Nice call. Not many realised that the the hit on Matthews, about 1 minute before the siren in the 85 GF, broke his cheekbone. Carey missed the ball by about 2 feet...!
The Cameron Clayton hit on Dipper - right in front of the Dick Reynolds stand - led to one of the biggest roars I have heard at a footy game.
Gary Foulds also hit Dipper that day & when Dipper asked "what did you do that for?", Gaz replied "Anyone who is near you today is going to snap you".
Different times....

Ron Andrews & it's not even close.
