Thank goodness Tony Played AFL and didn't go and play Rugby League /Union- like all the other 'Big Units'. I read his Biography when he'd made the legendary stat... Well worth it.. I remember being in Primary School and My Mum and Auntie Greenie used to take me parking if we were in the area ... and park on the next nature-strip. or across the road!!?! Greenie was Savvy to where he lived.. and I bragged my little boasty self at show-and-tell the next week... every time...(might of fibbed and said he came and said G'day a few times.}... No wonder I had a crush! I wasn't allowed to play footy with the Dew kickers... just train... It's good that Women have a footy Career option these days... The Vig Man with the Magiv stats will alwats be 'The Man'. Look out ! if Boof heads headed your way!! Ah... AFL hey.!? Unique. Tuff Exciting.
