Looks like that version of Maguire had a gap between his front teeth comparable to Floss McCartin’s.tedtheodorelogan2018 wrote:

Seriously??? Tangent and childish name calling is par for the course now! How very dare you?

I'd just like to say any comparison of Dunstall to Plugger, is an insult to Plugger.
If you're going to compare players to Plugger, then only a few can be mentioned in comparison: Baldock, Ditterich, Whitten, Barassi, Matthews, Coleman and perhaps one or two others. Any other comparison is insulting.
Wasn't saying Dunstall wasn't great, he certainly was. Despite that Plugger was at another level.dragit wrote: ↑Fri 25 Jan 2019 3:35pmDunstall was a great playerLinton Lodger wrote: ↑Fri 25 Jan 2019 3:17pm It appears this thread has gone off tangent.

1200+ goals
4 flags
3 colemans
2 AA
so I don't think the comparison is insulting
Plugger was a beast though, I wonder how many more goals he might have kicked if he'd played in an A grade side like Dunstall for most of his career.
It is a debate. Both were absolute guns. But who was better?SaintPav wrote:Hardly cringeworthy unless you’re a simpelton.
Plugger was a special player but had major weaknesses. Dunstall was a one team player and didn’t lose his s*** like Plugger did.
It’s a legitimate debate.
Exactly how I see it. Think you'll find Jason got much of his footy closer to the sticks toosunsaint wrote: ↑Mon 28 Jan 2019 6:27pm I dont get this Lockett is better because he played in a worse side then Dunstall
When he first pulled on a Stkilda jumper he lined up along side "take no prisoners" Mark Jackson, Max Corw and Robbie Mace not to mention Grant Young. He had the likes of Trevor Barker Greg Burns Silvo Foschini, the Cunningham brothers Rod Owen, Morwood and Robert the racehorse Elphinstone moving the ball into the forward line.
That list was just in his first year in 83
Over the next 10 years Winmar Loewe RIce Frankie Coghlan Harvey Burke McAdam
amongst a revolving door of short term ex champs from other clubs and you end up with a list of champions
The trouble started for Lockett on his introduction to stkilda was the get neutered drive down from Ballarat
Lockett was in a list of champions in a troubled club vs a champion team
and ooops "grant young" got somehow confused with David Grant and Grant Thomas ( obviously tongue in cheek fighting words with the latter)barneyboyz wrote: ↑Tue 29 Jan 2019 11:20amExactly how I see it. Think you'll find Jason got much of his footy closer to the sticks too

I’m pretty sure the cringeworthy statement was around the actual news clip rather than comparing the two, so no reason to call anyone a Simpleton.

Robert "bronwn sugar" Elphinstone was known as "The Eel" as he was reputedly very difficult to tackle.
Some also called him Elf, but I never recall racehourse.
Elphinstone signed with Richmond in 84-85 I think, but had a change of heart and stayed at Moorabbin.
The last Racehorse I remember (it was a real 70's nickname) was Neil Besanko.
Neil and his brothers were all very good track runners, Barry who also played at Essendon from memory was a very competent track sprinter.
While not turning Plugger onto the straight and narrow during the infamous Ballarat road trips, I doubt they turned him from a Sunday School boy to bad boy. In fact if you'd ever heard Slug Jordan speak about a 16 year old Plugger in Junior Big V teams you'd get an understanding he was not one for authority even in his junior days. And didn't he despise Kenny Sheldon and Peter Hudson![]()
