Yep, Dermott was great. Dished it out... and happily wore a few too. '89 Grand Final... Dermie copped one, but his Hawks got the better of us Cats. Hawk Dipper also ended up in hospital with broken ribs and a punctured lung. He ran the game out though. Another legend!
Plus, Gary Ablett Senior (yet another legend) kicked 9 goals on that day, plus was best on field winning the Norm Smith Medal, in a losing team. A rare feat. Cats went down by just 6 points, and Hawks won Back-to-Back Premierships (beating Melbourne in the previous season's Grand Final by a HUGE margin!).
Come on Simo, not one mention of the "Bloody Individual" Mark Jacko Jackson. He threw down his fair share of knuckle sandwiches in his day.
