Dutton Peabody
Senior List
Lotta blokes coming to the end of their careers. Lotta blokes retiring end '83 or moved on. Two up and coming sides in Hawthorn & * rising. Can sum up the finals by Dermott debuting in a final v us and kicking 5 on Dench. Huge loss to * in prelim softened by them belting Pies the next year by even more.
Worrying signs in season when on top of the ladder we got a 150 belting from Fitzroy. But story goes club was riddled with flu.
Age wearies us all and dulls the memory Hoju. It was the 2nd greatest player ever, lethal leigh that gave us a reaming at Waverley in 83.
At the end of his career he played at full forward and kicked five. Brereton's five was in the 1st semi final of '82 at the G. To my recollection
he kicked them on Glendinning not Dench. Hawthorn had a habit of unleashing a heavy hitter on us in finals. Dipierdemenico was another.
