Bob was not president, but the board l think over ruled Matthews and the then president McAllister. We missed the boat, he wanted to play for us.Not so much missed the boat with Lockett - think Bob Rose (then president?) ruled out getting Lockett
Bob was on the Board and didn't want Lockett because Lockett had totally lost the plot in a game at Vic Park and Bob didn't want him at the PiesBob was not president, but the board l think over ruled Matthews and the then president McAllister. We missed the boat, he wanted to play for us.
I think it was Wayne Richardson that killed off getting LockettBob was on the Board and didn't want Lockett because Lockett had totally lost the plot in a game at Vic Park and Bob didn't want him at the Pies
If that is the case was it because he didn't want his son Mark being replaced by Lockett?I think it was Wayne Richardson that killed off getting Lockett
Probably something in that tooIf that is the case was it because he didn't want his son Mark being replaced by Lockett?
That was my memory of it.If that is the case was it because he didn't want his son Mark being replaced by Lockett?

I'm still backing that Bob Rose blocked Plugger but it's Xmas so no BF squabbles...That was my memory of it.

Quite possible but whatever it was, it was a huge mistake

Can I please put a stop to this bullshit rumour.
You are essentially correct on this.Can I please put a stop to this bullshit rumour.
Wayne a Richardson was on the board but abstained from the vote on recruiting Lockett because of his son.
I hate this rumour. It really shits me that it's become folklore when it is not true. Wayne is a magpie through and through, a great guy to boot, and shouldn't have to put up with this crap.
Sorry for the vent.
You could add we'd have been a fair chance to take the 02 flag with Plugger even though we did have Rocca who kicked that goal that the umpy viewed as a poster. I still remember it vividly, could swear on my own grave that was a goal!The Quinlan miss was probably the worst - not sure how many GFs Lockett would have featured in for us but with Quinlan there in 79 and 81 I back us to win both those flags. The guy was a superstar.
To have beaten that evil empire in two GFs would have made my younger life (and adult mindset) so, So, SO, SOOOOO much happier.
Whoever was on the board at that time - You F ... Up
Don't know about it being a rumour, it was in a Book that I read (not sure if it was Taylor's book or another one)Can I please put a stop to this bullshit rumour.

With all due respect to Rocca, a fit Lockett and we're all but certain winning that final v St Kilda.You could add we'd have been a fair chance to take the 02 flag with Plugger even though we did have Rocca who kicked that goal that the umpy viewed as a poster.

The Bernie Quinlan saga is bang on.I don't recall us going for Bernie Quinlan.
I do recall us going to get Sam Kekovich, Laurie Sandilands (who was a very good player at the dogs) Butch Edwards (the next gun CHF at the time) Warwick Irwin Geoff Raines and Graham Teasdale and a few others. All were busts after being superstars at their previous club.
Doesnt always work out
ps Quinlan in 1979 and 1981 may have been all the difference. Super player.I don't recall us going for Bernie Quinlan.

So well spokenThe Quinlan miss was probably the worst - not sure how many GFs Lockett would have featured in for us but with Quinlan there in 79 and 81 I back us to win both those flags. The guy was a superstar.

you might be right. I am never of the opinion that one player makes that much of a difference. He was a superstar though.. BUT pre leaving the Dogs he was very very inconsistent.ps Quinlan in 1979 and 1981 may have been all the difference. Super player.
He would have arrived 1978 but for the $5,000.
And we may have even won the prelim v North in 1978 with Quinlan.
There is a fair argument he was better with Fitzroy, yes agree.you might be right. I am never of the opinion that one player makes that much of a difference. He was a superstar though.. BUT pre leaving the Dogs he was very very inconsistent.

It was Big Al's book...Don't know about it being a rumour, it was in a Book that I read (not sure if it was Taylor's book or another one)
I'll try and track it down
