Big Al was a big strong & forceful centre half forward & ruckman who played many fine games over a decade. Al was a huge kick and had the ability to burst through packs and create the play. Al played in the 1971,76 & 78 premiership teams he also represented Victoria in 1973. Al was often accused of not holding as many marks as his ability should have permitted. Al was the youngest player to reach the 200 game milestone. He left the Hawks at the end of 1980 and ended up going to Richmond where he played in the losing 1982 Grand Final.
Where is he now? Still working as a sparkie in Melbourne
