RIP champ

South Melbourne legend!
The two recent p'ships would have just made him so proud!

What a legend. Only really learned about him when he was name in the Swans all time team.

Looked over his bio...he remains the only specialist fullback to ever win a Brownlow. Can that be right?

No mean feat.

That is correct & I can't see another fullback winning it with the attention given to the mids these days.

He also won the club goal kicking 2 years after the Brownlow.

RIP Freddie

Bobby spoke really well about him on SEN, well worth a listen for anyone interested.

No it's certainly not, too many bitching rather than appreciating what they have now!

Do you have a link for this? Would be greatly appreciated!

A true legend of the game. Lack of exposure surrounding this was disappointing. One of our greatest of all time
