| Just about anytime Ronny the mop got it - flat chat, screaming down the wing like a fire horse answering the bell. Those trademark long flowing locks made him unmistakeable even from the other wing. |

Yes, great to watch…. Awesome sight watching Bobby go however maybe someone should remind him you only have to bounce it at least once every 15 metre! not after taking every two or three steps (unless you’re Mason of course)

What about Ricky Bahram ?? I have memories of him speeding down the wing at Vic Park in the 70’s.

Interesting reading, Melbourne clearly did their home work on our ball carriers.
Flu or Covid aside, our ball movement was restricted by the way Melbourne addressed this and set their defence up. Was Fly outcoached? We didn't appear to have a plan B on this front.
That's where an enquiry has merit into out of contract players the ilk of Parish (Ess), Redman (Ess), Newman (Carl) or similar type in order to give us some additional experience >100 games and class on the meters gained front.
We've got the cap space to pursue one of these, looking forward to see what unfolds on this front.
Bounces
Rank 8 Nick Daicos Last Round 0 v Melbourne, Round 13 Average 1.38
Rank 13 Bobby Hill Last round 0 v Melbourne, Round 13 Average 1.23
Rank 35 Darcy Moore Last Round 3 v Melbourne, Round 13 Average0.69
Meters gained 2023
Rank 7 Nick Daicos 315 v Melbourne, Round 13 Average 513.69
Rank 26 John Noble 455 v Melbourne, Round 13 Average 461.77
Rank 59 Josh Daicos 326 v Melbourne, Round 13 Average 401.62
Rank 69 JDG 401 v West Coast, Round 12 Average 383.55
Rank 81 B. Maynard 569 v Melbourne, Round 13 Average 370.62

He was absolutely brilliant on a wing. However I remember an unsung player who was my best ever when bouncing the ball while running. That was David Twomey who played in the early 70’s. I recall Kevin Sheedy saying that he couldn’t believe it when he saw Twomey’s speed, balance, poise and control while bouncing the ball perfectly. I haven’t seen a better performer.
