Did u used to follow RFC before GwS formed?Worth mentioning that although he was best first year player he was 23 by the time he moved to Melbourne from the country and debuted. By the time he was at Richmond he was 24-26 and instead of a player on the rise as was imagined, was already at his peak.
He was pretty handy at Richmond, expectations were that he'd be a superstar, but he was just good and he got condemned for that. And suffered in comparison to the generation before. His main problem was that around the end-of-May, start-of-June every year, as winter began to hit, he would get 'injured' and go missing for 3 months, his 3 years at Richmond always seemed to end at round 11-13 ... no wonder he signed for Brisbane and has spent the last 20 years in Adelaide and Perth
