Fantastic stuff mate. I have been trying to get vision of Ducks Central Districts play for years. Bloody great.
No worries mate. What an exciting player he was.
There may be more Duckworth highlights on the SANFLFootballArchive youtube page.
Yep - I was / am a big fan of JD loved the big fella wearing the number 1 for the Cardies even though I’m a bulldog through & through
Great post !!!
Wish we had some big Basil Campbell footage.
I remember Big Bas going straight through that Hawthorn ruckman Don Scott in one S of O game over here (after a stirring pre-match Frothing rant in the changerooms when Basil told his teammates that he’d KILL any Vicco that got in his way hahaha)
Scotty absolutely shat his knickers and went off if I remember
Also remember Brian Peake & Basil colliding at full pace in a Fremantle Oval Derby and both got broken legs out of it (geez I still recall the smack from in the members coz it was right in front of the rooms) and were later in Fremantle Hospital together
massive crowd that Derby , but that was usual fare with such star studded sides
^^^^
Actually I think Jim Krakouer said once the only two fellas he wouldn’t take on were King Maurie (very very good Pugilist) and Basil (very big white line fever big game specialist who could play don’t worry about that)
Mind you I think Basil scared most of the league hahahaha including us at times!!!
