"We were in Ireland. There was a Melbourne-based player. There was a mother of player, getting the player's gear and washing it. All the other players washed their own stuff. And then at breakfast time there was this player and his family sitting at a separate table to the rest of the touring party. And this continued through the rest of the trip. And I thought, good luck if he gets drafted interstate. And he did, he got drafted interstate, he stuck with them two years, he was on an AFL list for one [more] year and that was it."
Surely this is Harley Balic.....and we still picked him ffs! Remember his mother being inconsolable when it happened.
