If he plays like Scott Thompson that would be OK I guess.
Agreed. Stevens was a very good player but certainly not overly defensive.
I'm looking forward to watching some tackling pressure and aggression from the no. 32 guernsey. It's been a long time.

He loved the lower.
and the Greensbrough KFC, I used to go out with a bird who worked there and said lance and stevo were regulars through the drive through
Ironic that 'Lower Plenty' resembled his body shape.
Ironic that he's roughly 10,000 times more successful than you'll ever be.

Will never forget that goal he kicked up tight on the boundary line, on the run, and from memory a fair way out against the Lions in our first final in yonks. Was just a perfect, ripper kick and he was trying his (plentiful?) guts out for us, credit where credit is due. Great shame his neck forced him into retirement.

Ah yes, hooley dooley Houlihan, gone but not forgotten. What?

Swag will turn into class in a few years time
Just before the neck injury, he was showing again, as he had at the higher points of his career, that he had the ability to win his own ball and use it effectively. If he could keep that up, absolutely, despite his lack of pace.

Totally. If his neck wasn't an issue.
With a kick like that you can get away with a lot of things

Nice play by Graham in the TAC Cup GF to hit Membrey on his wrong foot and gutrun to convert after a mark inside 50.
Temay, Graham, Cachia, Curnow and Bell are going to make it awfully hard for Ellard and AJ to get a go. We can only improve if this happens.
NG has more tricks than Ellard if he's a goal kicker and good overhead. Though he might be a what you see, is what you get player like Steven Browne who was a good mark. Can't hope for anything more with pick 54 or later.

Murphy was a superb long kick that really broke the lines but at times not that accurate to be put in the top bracket. Bradley was an elite kick as was Stevens.

FEATURE ARTICLE: THE WOLFPACK
FEATURE ARTICLE: THE WOLFPACKThe Northe, Membrey and Graham families have been linked through football for years and the family friendships only grew stronger when the kids started to arrive on the scene. Matt, Tim and Nick’s fathers were all talented and well known footballers in the Gippsland region. As a result the boys grew up immersed in football, constantly around football clubs and constantly with a football in their hands. Since those very early days, playing football at the highest level possible has always been the goal for Matt, Tim and Nick, that hunger sparked after seeing their father’s success.
“Nick Graham has also worked extremely hard on his game, he’s a very well balanced player that always keeps his feet in the contest, his skills are exceptional and his ability to work through traffic is really good.”
Their focus and discipline was highlighted further when talking about their commitment to football while trying to fit in everything else in life. Nick explained “you know you have to make sacrifices while all your mates might be going out and partying back home. You can still be yourself through the week and catch up with mates and have a laugh and stuff, but you just don’t have to go out on the weekend.”

Murphy had the ball in his hands when the siren went in the '99 prelim. He will go down in history for the best after siren jig ever. Even Richmond didn't destroy J. Murphy.....

Murphy wasn't there long enough to be destroyed by the Richmond "development" academy. He was one of the lucky ones who got out just in time. Look at poor Andy Collins who is still trying to rid himself of his "Richmonditis"
