Dave Metcalfe was definitely the most feared player of his era.. And from what i can hear he was always good for 2 or 3 elbow as well as 30+ possies per game... Played with him towards the end of his career... Went to Pennant Hills one year... Played 7 or 8 games and came back to the Bay before the cut off for clearances... Still won the 1st B and F with Pennant Hills after playing 1/2 the year... Now that's freakish
Dont know about feared, but Dave was certainly a great footballer that really lifted his team mates when he was on song which was often.
I think he supposedly was beaten for that B&F on the last vote of the night, but there was a conspiracy theory doing the rounds that they were very pissed he had left and I will leave it at that.
Had a great handball game and yes was renowned for his elbow work, but is a good guy.
