Legends of our great game are never forgotten. Good men are always acknowledged and respected. You Stephen , set a positive pathway for many other Brothers to follow. I'm sure today Graham Moss , and also Ron Boucher and more, has ya boots stud marks still imprinted on their shoulders. Thanks Brother.

Always enjoyed watching this great man play for the Bulldogs. He, along with Maurice Rioli, and many others in that era drew the crowds into Fremantle Oval. Great stuff !

Lovely portrait. And his mention of Fred Senior, who I idolised when I was a kid, was very moving and generous of this absolute champion

Been a history of shorter but more skillful indigenous ruck men. Stephen , of course Polly all the way back to the mercurial game changing David Kantilla. Stephen was loaded with speed a great leap and ridiculous hand eye skills. TOP SHELF !😎👍

Wow - what an absolute legend. And that he chose to stay in the WAFL speaks realms about the character of the man and indeed the standard of our great league back then.

It was reported that he was coming to Geelong just about every season from 76-82. We were disappointed he didn't but having just watched the vid where he played his 200th.....he was interviewed with a young family and perhaps the fact that there were very few Aboriginals in Victoria compared to WA helped form that decision. Looked like he was an absolutely brilliant ppayer....some guy who'd have seen Polly says Michael was better.

@@paulkazakoff9231 I only saw him play two games because I was living in Canberra at the time. My mate was an East Perth supporter and when I asked him about Stephen Michael he just shrugged his shoulders and said, "He can do bloody everything!"

Farmer was better. Michael wasn't a great kick. Probably his only weakness. He had a lot in common with nat Fyfe really.
