Geoff Blethyn kicked 107 goals in a VFL season this year (1972), wearing glasses. And yet you never hear about him. The photographer has chosen the same dramatic angle for all the Essendon shots it seems. A kind of, well, up the shorts angle really.
What is going on here with Ross Brewer's arms? I'll bet he was a hoot when he did his Mr Tickle routine in the rooms after training.
I love a player who strikes the same pose year after year, especially a lairy one like "selling the dummy". Peter Bedford had all the skills and won the Brownlow Medal. Paul Callery is mostly remembered for being tiny and going on to be a stats man on ABC radio - I think he has a PhD now as the other fellas call him "Doctor".
Sometimes the ball gets a bit slippery. These pics all have a touch of "whoaaaah there" about them.
And finally: the Swans mostly-white jumper seems to have caused some over-exposure problems here. He would have been stumbling around blinded for a while after the flash went off.

I reckon at every Bomber's fancy dress bash Geoff Blethyn donned the narrow suit and did a bit of 'Peggy Sue' for the boys.
Absolutely. Strangely he never changed with the rest of the side - he liked to get togged up in a phone box.
