Eddie Betts or Steve Mckee?

Trent Knobel was our priority, but Richmond picked him,” Hughes said.
“We were looking for a ruckman, but when Terry Wallace (the then Richmond coach) told Knobel they were going to pick him, I rang Steve McKee, who was then training at Richmond, to tell him that we would be considering him. But he said to me, ‘Nah, I’m cooked, I’ve tried my best, but my groins are no good – and that’s why they’re going to pick Trent and not me’. He was really up front about it.”
Hughes then put the scenario to coach Pagan and didn’t have to wait long for a response.
“Denis said ‘Just pick the best kid’ and I said ‘I reckon it’s Eddie’. He said ‘Well we don’t have that type of player, so let’s give him a go’ – and we went from Trent Knobel to Eddie.

It seems as though from here on every time Eddie kicks a goal not only do I have to continue to thank the Richmond Football Club, I also have to thank Steve McKee.

Easy done

Steve must have really wanted to get back at the Pies for delisting him...
