Book sounds awesome. Would love to read Ian Morrison's thoughts in particular.

Very underrated footballe was Ian Morrison. He could kick goals at full forward or stop them at fullback. One year when Michael Roach (79?) was standing on other players heads while taking marks and kicking bags of goals Morrison kept him kickless at Whitten oval.
There was no zone defence back then, everybody had a man, so Morrison beat Roach point blank in every contest they had.

*edit* round 19 1979. Roach had kicked 10 the week before.*edir*
