Statues at Punt Road? (poll)

That's actually a great idea larabee. Might scare the crows too.
Surprised he didn’t advocate the erection of an umpire statue.TBR's brewing....
He’s been dreaming of that for years
That feels more like a Richmond thing to do! Team over individual.
A team of brothers, arms linked, that any new draftee can walk past everyday and feel like he's looking at his own future. It's more attainable than if they're walking past an individual superstar that gets worshipped and represents heights that hardly any future players will ever individually reach.
Spend the currency of success in ways that inspire the next generation to band together, grow, reflect on special values, etc. Individual statues point to the past with a measuring stick in ways that can sometimes make it harder for future players, let alone help them, so I don't see any benefit to them.
You can always make giant printed posters of former stars (or giant LED boards for advertising that display alternating images of past greats) - there's better ways to respect the past than through the almost antiquated concept of a physical statue at the entrance of a physical building.
I think we need to consider who hasn’t got a statue. Royce Hart 4 times premiership player and 2 times premiership skipper, Francis Bourke 5 times premiership player, Tom Hafey 4 times premiership coach.
Dimma can’t have one if Tommy doesn’t. Maybe only Dusty with 3 flags, 3 normies and a Charlie. Cotchin , our most decorated premiership skipper.
If Cotch got one the sculpter would need a special skill to capture the bouffant.

A Maurice Rioli one would be nice but he's got a room so can't be too greedy..*smile* it why not. He gets one too.
Geez if we had all our busts it would go half way across the Westgate bridge
Crowey, Peggy, Benny, Balmey , Dusty, Skip, Dimma, Houli and most definitely the Cho
As a guy who used to be in the statue game............that's a whole lotta cash!
