Sure, have a bex and a lie down.This is complete bullshit that you are peddling. Stynes was a champion footballer and is primarily remembered for that.
I saw Stynes in the 1988 Grand Final. I saw him play Collingwood perhaps a dozen times and I was not impressed by anything other than his handballing. I'm told he was durable so I guess he didn't get worse in the course of a game, but he never displayed champion skill or athleticism.
A nice man sure, a very fit player who adapted brilliantly to be competent in many areas of our game and a lovely story, and goodness knows Melbourne needed a good story in the 90's.
Champion bloke? Sure. Champion player? Never saw that.
