I retired at 18 after a not so stellar year with Oakleigh under 18s. There was no way I was gunna play VFA seniors back in 1985; it was frightening enough playing against the Sunshine, Brunswick and Yarraville juniors!
......all footy, retired after the 3rd, (hey, I'm a slow learner alright!!!). Played down the bush (I'm originally a Sth Gippy boy), arrived in 'the smoke' to go to uni (way back when), played some local footy in the ammo's & with east brunswick in the now defunct Federal league (i think it's now de**** cos all the clubs got suspended!).....you reckon Brunswick & sunshine was scary....you wanna play against Nth heidelberg, Broady bombers, or fitzroy Stars (all Aboriginal team).......half our side would pull hammies on the thursday nite before these games!!!.......I actually had a few runs with the 'Wickers when Jacko was there in the mid 80's.......jacko in the change rooms without any teeth was as scary a sight as I'd ever seen!!!
