He and his indigenous teammates could have made a difference but chose not to. That's what I'll remember him for.
mmm, I think that might be a little harsh an assessment of the guy. It's hard to imagine that he would have been OK with some
Hawthorn supporters booing Goodsey, but not everybody is comfortable with "standing up" on certain issues.

On a lighter note; who would you rather have in your team for a long time? Cyril or Tom Mitchell?
