And there's GAblett snr who did both.

Bit before my time, but was he athletically gifted?

Supremely strong for his size and near impossible to knock off his feet

Can’t remember him being much of an athlete though - not quick and couldn’t jump

He certainly knocked a lot of people off his feet, if you ask Neville Bruns.
 
Brilliant player - a footballer not an athlete. An absolute thug by today's standards - but he isnt playing today.

He was a thug by the standards at the time he played. In an absolutely brutal era Matthews was as viscous as anyone
 
Mum always said the most frightened she ever was at a footy game was when Lethal knocked out Barry Cable in a state game at Subi. Almost caused a riot

I've seen the footage.

I think the ball was pretty much out of bounds and Matthews just smashed him.
It was brutal.

Looks like some of the crowd wanted to jump the fence.
 
Port Adelaide will be known as Yartapuulti for all future games in Sir Doug Nicholls and AFLW Indigenous Rounds
What would we be called if we went this route?

West Coast is pretty general. Guessing there would be heaps of tribes along the west coast.

Maybe there was a main one? or we could rotate tribes every year

Matthews was a thug, no denying it. He was also incredibly strong, had a great step, an otherworldly goal sense with skills to match and a brutal midfielder.

So basically if you combine Voss's intent, will and strength with close to Jarman level skills, Daicos goal sense, Pendlebury's step and Ablett Snr's level of being a thug you pretty much have him summed up.

Whadjuk i'd assume, but Freo might also try that
