Thanks for this. Can you please provide the page number and ISBN so that I can use it as a Wikipedia reference?
John Brady, Keith Carroll, Geoff Howells, Jock Lineen, Bruce Peake, Lionel Ryan, Otto Sonnleitner and George Spero weren't known to Wikipedia. Some of them, and some others, aren't in Aust Football.

Bunton was captain of the State team and in his first season of coaching Swan Districts. The story goes before the game against Victoria Bunton asked Sheedy which end of the gournd he wanted the team to kick to in the first quarter. Jack told him an Bunton said "No worries Jack, leave it with me". At the coin toss, Bunton pointed to the preferred end before the coin hit the ground, then ran off to rejoin the rest of the team. The umpire and Victorian captain had no idea what to do and in the ned had to go along with it and start the game.
 
Sadly, this looks likely to be another ex-player who has died: RODGERS, Terry Keith | Death Notices | Melbourne | My Tributes

Given that Pete Dickson (the tweeter) was the brother of former Hawthorn and Brisbane player Rob Dickson (who was probably even better known for his off-field work), that means Duncan Wright was the uncle of the footballer.
