What a crop of players the blues got from SA in 86-87. Kernahan, Bradley, Motley and Naley. Guns the lot of them and Motley probably the most talented.

*One of the game's greats. That doesn't mean if you had long hair and you start losing it, that you shouldn't begin to cut it accordingly*

Legend !

I played for QLD against Victoria in the 1975 school boys team in Adelaide and Wayne was in the team. A legend. And Emmanuel Rioli played for NT. it was an amazing series.

19 or 20 year old Bruce Doull giving triple Brownlow medalist Ian Stewart a proper touch up when moved into the centre to stop Stewart.

Worked with him at Western Power as an apprentice. Playing with Swans at the time

Great player. I was there for his 200th. Sad to see him finish.

Another good recruit from WA ,

Bruce Doull GOAT Defender.

Before arriving at Princes Park Rhys was one of those players that really annoyed me - a little bit like Diesel. The Carlton faithful soon took a liking to Rhys and Diesel after they saw what they could do on the field. Rhys was one of those graceful, clean ball handlers that was intelligent with his disposal and could play multiple roles for the club in defence, on the wing or in attack. He kind of reminded me of Robbie Flower who was also a "wiry" type player that was evasive and moved smoothly across the grass. I a glad Walls pushed the match committee for Rhys to get the Dermie job in the 1987 Grand Final. A bold and creative move I thought. A deserved Norm Smith Medalist. I remember sitting in the top tier behind the goals in the blaring 30+ deg sun - I actually got sun burnt on the nose and face that day. There were a few contests that Rhys won in that opening term and a tackle on Dermie that gave myself and my Carlton mates confidence. I recall saying "The team is switched on today, I hope Rhys keeps this up" And he did - The hyphen, one of my favourite Carlton players. (The Dominator set up the 1987 Grand final in that opening term too with classic "dominator" inspiration and footy smarts. For those who havent seen the 1987 GF, the ball was not bounced at the centre square at the start of the game which I think hasnt happened before. Rhys and the Dominator set the tone for the day - everybody followed including a young first season skipper named Kernaghan who led like a mature veteran.)

This is my pa😢

He was a champ and is a bloody great bloke too

What a great man and champion he was

Beautiful man and class player .

Wonderful player

He never did make it to play for Diamond Creek, but did own the Lower Plenty Newsagency for many years.

The way we once were .

What a great player. Loved by Carlton's old timers, many rated Crosswell's Carlton games as better than Jezza's during Crosswell's time at CFC.

The GOAT Defender. No question, better than SOS, Bench, Jakovich, Landford, Glendinning, Southby, Knights Whitten, Murray, Scarlett etc. The AFL Legions need Doull.

We love ya doormat.

Oh Bruce doull you have been and will always be my favorite player for the blues. You're a quality person on off the ground

Johnno one a carlton s greatest players of all time no 7 🏆🙏🏼💙

The Flying Doormat a true ALF Lagend. GOAT Defender bar none.

GOAT Defender !

Two real legends right there. Respect👍

What an amazing game and great talent. A shame he never starred in the seniors.

GOAT Defender full stop.

Uncle rick

True gentleman and a great champion

Legend

Had 15 Brownlow votes (5 BOGs) in the first 8 rounds in 1987. Didn't get another vote and finished 3rd.

528 senior games if State, Tests , Pre-Season/Night Comp are taken into consideration. What an ornament of the game. True Champion.

Go hermie!

Miss these days going to watch the games at princess park

So proud of my uncle kevin what a player he was but more importantly he is an even better human being 💙🤍

Ball'd!

I remember watching the 2nds play at Princess Park, watching Hanna having a great game. Back then, he still had some hair. Turns out I was standing next to Hanna's cousin and we had a chat about how good he was and for sure that he'll make the 1st team.

A terrific little player.

Good llayer

Fav player as a kid in 80's

That’s my great uncle

A wonderful Carlton personality, a brilliant player in those golden years of Barrassi, Nichols, Harris, a two time premiership player who played a significant role behind the scences after his retirement when Carlton had their factional issues to arbitrate for best outcomes between the waring Parties for his beloved Carlton FC... RIP Ragsy

Yea the aborigines are very good . But all the Europeans showed how good they are. Italians greek footy players over last 50 years at least just to mention few silvanies. Kouta. Daicosis.jesalenko etc

Forget the ABLETS DAICOS FAMILYS. SERG STEVEN SILVANI RULE.

RIP Legend, I remember you when I was a young kid in the early 70's swapping footy cards at primary school. Only years later I saw how great a player you were in the Navy Blue on video. Only vaguely remember the 1970 Grand Final as I was about 4 years old. But you had a big hand in that win.

Could seriously play this bloke

Rest in peace Raggsy. A life well lived

How good was Bendigo for the navy blues.
