North Albury to cop a hiding, I’ll be in their rooms today getting a feel for things, as much as I despise Albury they’re far from spent. The competition is in a good spot at the moment.
Rose came in to the Rovers side having finished 2nd in the Brownlow the previous year, not only was he the best player in the competition he was top three players in the land. Got Rovers their first cup, went agonisingly close to 3 in a row, he set the culture up, ferocity at the leather like you rarely see today. Back then some O&m clubs could pay players more than the Melbourne league clubs could. The O&K had half a dozen blokes who could’ve walked in to a league side, Jock and Rowdy Lappin to name a couple, used to terrorise Milawa regularly. Robbie Walker wasn’t interested in the big time, he’ll say he wasn’t up to it, but he could’ve more than held his own.
