Inside the Charts:
Misplaced Love by Rupert Hine
His first quarter was magnificent when he kicked two goals, knocked on a couple to other players he contested hard which resulted in three other goals and he's been an inspiration to the other Footscray players and there's no doubt in my mind that if he had of been playing all year, Footscray would have won 3 or 4 more games.
