He was a good player but i have atleast 10-12 players well ahead of him in my 1980 sideHe was a damn good player R2R, very much worthy of being in that 1980 premiership team. I honestly think if Bourke hadn’t destroyed his shoulder at that last training session before the GF, and he played in the game, we’d have comfortably beaten Carlton that day.
I was at that last training session and what Bourke put him through was beyond ridiculous. Cost us a flag imo, I’ll never forget it
I suppose MM as a person post Richmond influences my opinion of him massively
Just a flog of a human
