I can imagine he’d be the type to be chasing his dribbling down the court slapping at it with either hand and nobody wanting to stand in front of the freight train 😂
I played against Barham not Pants.
If it were Pants, I would have just stood and stared.
What a star he was.

Barham had more those classic head to head battles with the likes of Mick Turner, Keith Grieg and Robbie Flower types, but not in the same class as the other 3. Body probably held him back.
Barham was surpringly only 176 cms.
Today, I think he’d be the shortest player on our list, perhaps bar Joe Richard’s.

Loved Ricky.
Had his number on my dufflecoat.
 
That is surprising given Ricky was 183cm which is an even 6 foot.
Malcolm Blight was 182cm and kicked 100 goals in a season playing at full forward. Pretty amazing. A North supporter pointed it out to me one day when I was crowing about Peter Daicos kicking 97 goals in a season, the most for a non-full forward. But Pete was 184cm

Just about what I'd expect from a Norf supporter. :rolleyes:

Ricky Barham was a genuine speed demon winger, cut from the wingers cloth. Dodgy hammys and the occasional short steps did him no favours but I loved him. Wrighty was a skillful non stop workhorse and Rowdy a Collingwood champion that played to his limitations to AA and State levels. Was an awesome player in the Big V.
if I could have one winger in my side it would be Pants. Legend, more skillful than given credit for with an awkwardness about it. The bloke you want on your shoulder running down the race.

Millane was the Dusty of his time. Cut too short sadly.
 
Good season. Was his Mum a champion sportswoman?
No mate...

“I always talk about balloons,” says father Peter, the Collingwood legend. “A balloon has to be caressed. So does a football. If you try to pull a balloon into you, you don’t grab it, you do it gently. That’s a little bit how you clutch and control a football.”

I dunno mate. I mean, Callum Brown didn't live up to Gavin's level. I got my own skill from my mother's side. If Colleen had zero natural talent Nick and Josh wouldn't be anywhere near as good. So it's not all Peter.

Just saying she was never a "champion" sportstswoman.
Answering your question mate.
She may have played a little sport when she was younger.
It's all in the genes.
