Western Bulldogs Was nick-named 'Crazyhorse" because of his crazy turning circle.  
     
   When he was playing for North Melbourne, at quarter time, I saw his coach Brian Dixon pushing and shoving him around, and swearing at him and telling him the he was f****** hopeless.  
     
  Played reasonably for the dogs but not as well as at North.
