What sticks in my mind is Paul Van Der Harr being concerned. He bent down to check Wiley and waved for someone to come out to him.

Yep. Vander took his mouthgaurd out as a precaution at the time. I was sitting on the members side of the ground and he was bleeding pretty badly.

whatever happened to Greg Strachan?

He got slower and slower. I remember him struggling to keep up with any quick full forward who could sprint out on a lead. Eventually he finnished up in the reserves in the mid eighties.

He would be chastised in todays team but when you play in a good team then you are part of success.
 
Captain Blood

One of the best descriptions of Dyer was proffered by Norm Smith, the legendary Melbourne and Fitzroy player and coach. The reason the description is so apposite and telling is that, in detailing Dyer's attributes, qualities and characteristics, Smith could almost be summarising the entire Richmond 'eat 'em alive' ethos itself. In 1965, sixteen years after Jack Dyer had retired from VFL football, Smith wrote that he (Dyer):

.....was one of the three greatest footballers the game has produced, probably the greatest. I feel that he would undoubtedly have stamped himself as the most brilliant footballer in the game had he played as an individual rather than for his team. It has always been Richmond first, Dyer last, with Captain Blood. He was a breath-taking footballer, a strong attacking player with amazing pace and stamina. His dedication made him one of the most accurate kicks in the game. His marking was as brilliant and consistent as any I have seen.
