In response to Glen’s hirsute challenged team, I thought I would rustle up a team of blondes.
Some of these players started as blondes before either losing it or darkening in colour.
In putting together this team I noticed how many forwards there were, something perhaps about their personality?
Also how many played for either Hawthorn St Kilda and Sydney/SMFC.
I included Malcolm Blight as Coach as I couldn’t think of others beside Peter Knights and perhaps Blighty had a better record as coach.
If you can include other blondies, I welcome your comments.
B: A Collins (Haw) L Roberts Thomson (Syd) G Cunningham (St K)
HB: D Bolton (Geel/Syd) Paul Vander Haar (Ess) T Barker (St K)
C: S Maxfield (Rich/Syd) Sam Mitchell (Haw) D Rhys Jones (Swans/Car)
HF: P Knights (Haw) Mark Maclure (Car) J Akermanis (Bris/WB)
F: B Hall (St K/Syd/WB) W Capper (Syd/Bris) B Brownless (Geel)
Foll: C Ditterich (St. K /Melb) P Crimmins (Haw) B Cable (NM)
Inter: Russell Morris (Haw/St K) T Luff (Syd) R O’Keefe (Syd) S Crawford (Haw) P Curran (Haw/Bris) T Hopkins (Carl) D Glascott (Carl)
Coach: Malcolm Blight (Geel/Adel)
Apologies to Dermott Brereton, I believe his hair was originally Red then dyed blonde.
