ok thats cool, I just think people underestimate his skills. He was a top VFL player but never really got a true go at AFL level. Was punished by having to play out of position for so many years for the seconds. But agree, we have been so lucky to get some fantastic blokes in the past 5 years 5 years. Credit has to go them for developing themselves outside of football.st_Trav_ofWA wrote:not taking anything away from what he did its just off the feild hes like Roo is on the feild in the comunitySolar wrote:see thats not completely fair, he was the scorpians full forward for a couple of seasons and was a fine servant in the VFL. had all the skills but was stuck in that in between size.st_Trav_ofWA wrote:i think alan murray really had he head screwed on right he was a great ambassador for the indiginous comunity its a shame his football skills didnt match his life skills
