Although two years later that administration was responsible for an arguably more disastrously consequential trade when they sent Terry Daniher to Essendon in exchange for Neville Fields. Roberts, Teasdale, and Jackson were all fine players, but Daniher was a player you could build a team around. Even from his early games with South, it was obvious that Daniher was destined for greatness.

Yes. Fields was fairly good for us but only for a relatively short time. We were well and truly on the wrong end of that trade! Didn't we give Essendon Neale Daniher as well? Or am I getting my Daniher brothers mixed up?Although two years later that administration was responsible for an arguably more disastrously consequential trade when they sent Terry Daniher to Essendon in exchange for Neville Fields.

A great champion of the game Bobby. I only saw his last game live. Courageous and obviously so skillful - maybe the first player to kick with both feet? Drop kicks with both feet!
My Dad told me about a game where Skilts got knocked out/carried off just before half time. He came back on after 1/2 time and kicked 8 goals.
And yes Sandridge we lost Terry and Neale at the same time. I know this is true as I have spoken to Terry about it.Comment
