Moved Thread Tony Lockett - is he remembered as a Saint or Swan?

Guess it depends when you grew up. Swan for me.

You can only remember what you can remember, but you should also have some perspective on history.

The big fella will always be a Saint.

Tried to apply logic to an emotive topic in my choice.
Plugger is the best ff at all time imo and his career is full of memorable and iconic moments.
As neither a Swans or Saints supporter, the most iconic, memorable thing he is known for breaking record which he did in Swans jumper so that's why I say Swans.

Watched the big man take a mark 30m out at Whitten Oval with 3 dogs players literally hanging off him. It came down onto 3 outstretched fingers, he flipped it 360 and then palmed the bloody thing. I’ve never seen a better mark before or since - unbelievable. He was more than mere mortal when he was playing for the Saints. Loved watching him. Saint hero in my eyes.

I know modern forwards have a tougher time with zones but it wasn't unusual for clubs to literally have 2 defenders on him when he was on fire. The day he kicked 16 at Whitten oval Fitzroy had 3 on him at times. He really was unstoppable at his best.
