Great link - thanks.
You forget how strong he was and such a good kick.
That 100th goal was a bitter sweet moment.
Would love to see him kicking that chair again.

He was a wonderful player. Very, very underestimated.

I would dearly love Paddy McCartin to be the G train reincarnated.

How good would that be? FG knew how to use his body to beat his opponent and was quick.

Paddy needs to be smarter in the way he goes about it, to lessen the risk of concussion, use his body better and work on his speed and endurance.

If Paddy were to model himself on a past player then the G train would be a good start IMO.

Fraser was one of those players who achieved hero status amongst the fanbase. People would love going to watch him.

I hope that game against Freo wasn't a close one!

This is what Paddy needs to do.

9 goals before half time.
All we need for a premiership now is a full forward like this.

When I was a young child, I knew that I knew so much about so much.
Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.

I think Fraser gave the siren a heart attack in that match...

What a fat bastard but could he play!
I bet Lockett now would cringe at the size he was back then. How many pies would he eat at half time?
