Just love Phil Cleary! Ferocious supporter and promoter of the VFA/VFL over many years, and takes the same attitude with violence against women - talking to young guys in footy clubs to educate and guide them. 

Didnt like him a great deal as a player - he was a sniper and agitator, but all is forgiven now, and I would love to see the AFL at some stage, acknowledge what he's done with some type of award or have something named in his honour.

Will try to get to Vicki Cleary day, Coburg vs Richmond on Sunday, and hope  for a Lions win.

Thoughts on this?

Does anyone have any copies of the VFA Recorder from 1981 that they wish to sell or scan for me?

I am looking at the 1981 VFA season as a research project and potential book.  

some time ago I stumbled across a spreadsheet of every player to represent Port since 1888 - does anyone know where there is a link on the net to that spreadsheet as I can't find it?

Cheers
