Opinion Non-Crows AFL 5: Save Ken

[GROTTO]

BREAKING Neil Kerley’s football legacy will never be forgotten. Aged 88, he tragically died at Walker Flat late today after his car left the road and crashed. Footy fans across Australia are in mourning

 

[GROTTO]

Obviously before the time for a lot of us on here.

How horrible that you go in a car accident after reaching 88... I wonder if a medical episode was to blame as it appears a single vehicle accident.

 

[GROTTO]

What a career in football. Wow.

 

[Peter Doherty]

Im sure the mods will let this pass by.

Can someone post the article please.

In great Knuckles fashion, the mods could say, 'I saw it, but I'm not saying anything'.

Irony being had we won the flag in 2017, Eddie and Josh would still be in our forward line.

Obviously a vast difference in class and age between them and Oliver.

Mutineers' married?

Ken Hinkley said that Charlie Dixon if he played in the ruck would be elite.
It wasn't if he was 10cm taller either. Just if he payed ruck.

Why doesn’t he play him there then?

Would be too unfair to the rest of comp.

Way too long - too many instances of players getting lazy on a 5 year deal


Granted Oliver is rare air but even the best need that hunger

Isnt Petracca on a similar deal?

Pretty sure he got 9. Actually no it was 7 too.

Kelly got 8 years at GWS.

Who was the last player to sign a really long term deal?

Grundy?

That's going well...

Kerls had a fierce determination about him like none you’ve ever seen. He epitomized everything about the old blood ‘n’ guts style of footy.

In a sign of how the game has changed over the years, he was the boundary rider for AFL games in the early days of the Crows. One night he interviewed Daryl Hart, who was a Crows assistant coach at the time. They were both the same height. Hart had been a rover, Kerls had been a ruckman.

Love the footy of him at AO, celebrating the flag with fans all on the ground.

What a time, that will never ever be replicated again.

That’s my earliest memory of him, coaching the Bays to the 73 flag

I was 11. Boy what a tense and exciting day that was!

Cripps is taller than Wayne Carey and Tony Lockett, who were the same height as Polly Farmer.
