It interesting as if the player is a gun,
The player seems to stay .
Well at Tigerland anyway
Don’t think he could have played top level and stopped training, i haven’t ever heard that, bloke was a running machine who would run 3-4 kms before the game to warm up, his training loads were prob reduced as he got older..Didn't Nick Reiwoldt stop training about 4 years before he retired and still managed to play every week and run blokes off their feet?
Even still, it's their choice to play and they know footy will cause injury. You don't get to turn around and sue later on because your knee's sore, like no sh*t. You're telling me a removalist or tiler will have a bad back later in life? Colour me shocked
Yep, fixed up my error above. Gale told the story at a sportsman night I went to about 20 years ago so I think that was the source of my misconception that it was his back that was knackered. Dave was a mate of a mate of mine through his AG Science course at Melb Uni so had beers with him a couple of times when he was playing at the Blues - riotously funny bloke.It was actually David Honybun.
Gale had a connection to it though - it was his van that used to transport Honybun to games (Christ knows what happened on that mattress the rest of the week...)
There was a kid in my class who was the only Richmond fan at the school (this is 1990, so grim times for the Tiges). When we were asked to write a letter to our heroes, most of us did the dumb thing and wrote to Allan Border, which meant we never got a reply. This kid instead wrote to Honybun, who wrote back with a long double-sided letter, included pictures of his fiancee and family etc. No photos from the van, thankfully.
Good story.reminds me of the stories about van de haars panel vanIt was actually David Honybun.

Nonsense lad, they wouldn't what it is to play with pain.
Remember a game when me head came completely off, picked it up, put it back on and won BOG.
Sure had to have an op later, but that were only because I put on head wrong way round.
Kids these days.
JC only missed three days !!!In my day, guys like Richard Osborne would die and only miss 3 weeks.
Outs:
J Smith (Knee) - Season
R. Brown (Wrist) - 4 Weeks
R Osborne (Died) - 3 Weeks
If Darcy Moore had any sense of theater he would pull the seagull pose one day during a game at the "G"Geoff Hayward's been up his Mum and legless Sister, and thinks he killed his old man

6-0 wow you should release a box set like your mates down in St Kilda. The Streak Melbourne. That’s all you cultures failures of clubs have really is a few games strung together in the odd season you are “up”
My teams a pile of sh*t also. Can i play?
Blokes making the news for something argumentative/conflict that happened at training suggests yeah, something's going on.Has there been issues going on behind the scenes with the Saints? Something does not feel right.
Nah, that's the media trying to make a storyBlokes making the news for something argumentative/conflict that happened at training suggests yeah, something's going on.
Do you know why Honybun didn't play for 3 seasons between 1984 and 1988? What's his story there? He played 5 games for Carlton in 1984, then didn't play for Richmond until 1988Yep, fixed up my error above.
